The story behind the game begins with archmage Nestar founding a kingdom where people could live in peace. Time passes and Nestar has both a son, Grishnák, and a daughter, Imiria. The son is expected to follow his father and become ruler but he is a bad sort and Nestar decides that Imiria should rule as queen. As Nestar is putting together plans for his succession he dies in mysterious circumstances and Grishnák ascends to the throne. His father’s fears were realized, rumours Grishnák‘s involvement in dark deeds, black magic and sacrifices abound. Only one of Nestar’s followers remains in office, he is ‘The Keeper’ and he maintains the bridges between Nestaria and the rest of the world. The Keeper issues a summons to four of Nestaria’s heroes The Barbarian, The Assassin, The Elf and The Macician who are abroad in other lands to return home to save Nestaria and defeat Grishnák aka ‘The Prince Of Destruction’.
