Evil has arisen in Alt-Land - as once before. Known as The WayLands to The People of SouthLand, The Sage has realised that The People will need to join with the 'bondsmen' of Midway - and their Laird - if Evil is ever to be defeated. A'dyn - the 'ward' of The Laird and known as 'The Seeker' - is the one to 'seek the way' and lead Midway's 'bondsmen' to, temporary, safety. When the 'bond' is formed, The Sage uses his knowledge of 'The Mysteries' to safeguard them all and to gain them necessary time. They, desperately, need time to develop their skills as warriors and to see those of the 'new-blood' grow to face the ever closing threat - which is their destiny.
