The game is set in the 13th century. We play as a former crusader, Theoderic von Akenburg, forced to return to the battlefield in order to solve a problem he caused. 15 years ago, together with his companion Ulric von Grevel, he found a fragment of a powerful artifact - now his former companion is trying to collect the remaining pieces, which may lead to the end of the world, so the protagonist will have to stop him.
