Those who would bemoan the serenity of a quiet life have never felt the weight that the mantle of heroism presses on one's shoulders...

In the Kingdom of Layruin, the lives of brothers Grath and Shay Wyvrin are forever altered when they cross swords with a band of crooked lawmen. Woefully outnumbered and dubious of their fate should they yield, the brothers flee through the woods.

Grath manages to elude capture but finds himself lost in the dreaded Weeping Woods. Exhausted and lacking supplies, he must adapt or die.

Shay is taken prisoner by the lawmen and is tried for his alleged crimes. Shay's life is spared thanks to the intervention of a noble knight, but he is sentenced to military service and sent to the frontlines.

Seek not heroism, for it will find you when the time is right.
