Lawlessness and unrest spread like wildfire, as warlords seized control over the five fractured territories.

Within the heart of this turmoil, nestled amidst the ruins of what was once a glorious city, stood the Citadel. This once-proud capital now served as the residence of D'evereaux Escobar, a usurper who had cunningly driven out all those loyal to the fallen emperor. His grip on power was merciless, his reign marked by cruelty and oppression.
Amidst the chaos, a lone huntsman emerged. Driven by a personal vendetta and a burning desire to restore order to the realm, he embarked on a perilous expedition that would test his skills, resolve, and the very limits of his humanity. This huntsman bore the name Dû-Cane, and his story would become legend.
