His long-lost brother Xanatos is searching for the pieces of the Draoidh Stone to bring back Carthicus and seek vengeance on the Elmer who killed their parents. You play as the titular Airoheart who lives amongst the Elmers, his story begins when the Breton break the peace treaty and move closer into Elmer’s territory. Fragments of the Draoidh Stone are now scattered across Engard, ensuring that Carthicus may never return. With the power of an ancient Relic – the Draoidh Stone – and a Sword, Carthicus was defeated and his soul trapped within the Stone by the Elmer. One Breton in particular named Carthicus used this destructive Magic to attack the Elmeri lands. The native Elmer’s believed in the peaceful kinds of Magic, whereas the Bretons believed in the destructive forms. The land of Engard is met with conflict between the Elmer and Bretons.
