Asaquan, the realm of Queen Xithanna, is being attacked by the troops of Tothum Siptet, the evil sorcerer of Syrkonia. As soon as Kaan arrives on the scene, he applies all his fighting energy into attempting to repel the attack. But he is already too late: the town has been pillaged, put to fire and sword by the sorcerer`s troops.

Kaan still manages to save the Queen from attack. She tells him that almost all her men have been killed defending the town, but there is much worse to come...

A traitor has fled from the realm taking with him the Orb of Hope, the jewel that is said to "protect" Asaquan.
