It's been a thousand years since the time of Ardneh, the transcendant
being that saved humanity from the vicious archdemon Orcus. It was a
legndary battle between magic and technology that killed them both,
but left behind tales of Ardneh's heroism and newly found hope for
humanity. But in the passing years only a few remain that actually
believe these legends as truths.
Chance Rolfson comes from a long line of Ardneh's followers,
descendants from Rolf, the illustrious warrior who fought in Ardneh's
name for humanity many years ago. A young man plagued with vivid
nightmares, Chance hopes to clear his head by joining a forest
expedition that seeks physical proof of Ardneh's existence. Their
goal is to discover the great vault prophesized to hold the savior of
humanity's secrets to his own power and wisdom. But the dangers are
high in the uncharted forests, rife with bandits and demons that no
magic can stop. And as Chance's dreams become more clear, he soon
realizes these are not merely dreams but visions, and he alone holds
the key to unlocking Ardneh's greatest gift, known to the followers
as Ardneh's Sword.
