The king of Thesilia has been poisoned and his brother has usurped the throne. The king's half-elf advisor, the Schill, has denied the usurper the two things he desires most. The crown has been sent south to the elves of Fridia and the Schill's own apprentice carries away the king's sword, unaware of its draconic history.
