In a world divided in two, the Ancient Empire of Preternia seeks to restore the world to the way it was, a world wherein magic and nature are worshipped as one. However as the Allied Republics of the Commissary grow stronger, they see the Empire as nothing more than a dying husk that refuses to embrace the ways of science, law, and order.  Caught amongst it all, is Walter, a young man trying to find his own path in a troubled world as he searches for his missing friend.
