The campaign to destroy the Crystals of Orbis has thus far proven to be brutal and bloody, but nonetheless successful. That is until the Kingdoms with the remaining two Crystals tighten their defences, creating barriers that even the great Kingdom of Ruvia cannot penetrate. However, King Tostig of Ruvia has a plan – if brute force doesn’t work, then the next best option is sneaking into their borders and using newly developed technology to destroy it in one fell swoop. When the scorned Commander of the Nininian Army appears, battered and bleeding, the opportunity is too good to not take up, and with the Ruvian Commander and a throwaway guardsman accompanying her, it’s a foolproof plan. But the powers of the Crystals and their legacy extend beyond the Aether they harbour, and technological advancement proves to not be the only thing it’s good for.
