For the powerless, desire is a curse.

Since he was a child, Helbram had only one wish: adventure. It was this dream that pushed him from the comforts of his village, determined to leave his mark in story and song.

Reality, however, is cruel.

Years of failure have smothered the flames of ambition, leaving embers wrapped in a shell of rusted plate and weathered mail. Some call him knight, but he knows it to be a false title. One he knew would never be true.

Yet still, Helbram walked, his feet carrying him into a land removed from those blessed by the gods, those guided by fate to greatness. It was here that his star would fade, returning to the nothing from which he came.

Or so he thought.

A mission gone south puts Helbram and the stragglers of a failed expedition in a fight for survival.

Within the fires of struggle, the embers of dead dreams sparked anew.
