Intro. In a medieval kingdom called Alther, the opulence of the nobility starkly contrasts with the suffering of the commoners. This is a society rife with greed, jealousy, and despair, where the government maintains its power through the exploitation of the populace, and the cold-heartedness of the aristocrats plunges the realm into darkness. In the shadows of the city, thieves, brothels, and black markets thrive, while the common people struggle to survive in harsh conditions.
