Among the many wonders found in the world known as Thell, perhaps the greatest are the so-called Witch Arms. These twelve legendary weapons have incredible powers, and it is said that those who wield them become great warriors, heroes, and legends themselves. Wherever one is seen, history is made. And be not mistaken; history is being made.  The remnants of the Empire of Gloria battle each other, caught in an unending war of greed and oppression. As Emperors and their courts live lavishly in their far-away capitals, happily playing their games of intrigue and guile, the once lush farmlands of the south are turned into massive grave pits for soldiers and civilians alike. The Great Bellator of the Benevolent Church of the Untainted Magic has a crisis of faith and considers laying down his sword for the last time. Consumed by sorrow and regret, this holy warrior begs absolution for the unforgivable sin of saving the world. And in the Towering Woods, a mentally damaged man from another world arrives, setting off a prophecy that will cause suffering, horror, and change, all of which will ultimately culminate in the death of a god.
