The province of Southern Atropos is a wild and savage land, where towns and villages stand as bastions of civilisation in an unforgiving wilderness of towering mountains and forbidding forests. It is a land scarred and haunted by dark magic, monsters and evil men, where every man, woman and child must fight for survival. Into this nightmare stride the Sons of Burke! The militant arm of the Burke family. Yet to simply fight is not enough, for this is a land of killers. To secure the land, one must champion and raise up the common soul; they must lead them to the belief of their own greatness! This champion is Thomas Burke, Paladin and Knight Errant. He is a ray of light in a gritty, grim, dark world. He is hope, and hope's promise comes on the edge of a sword. But there are those that would see him fall.
