Upon defeating the Crimson army at Baladone, Kaing and the survivors continue on to the Elvish capital city of Yakt Tscare, and are advised that King Grack will be addressing the people in light of his recent victory and his alliance with the elves. The rebel elves of Archimedes assist Kaing in preparations to assassinate King Grack at the ceremony, as the kingdoms of the five southern kingdoms unite for the first time in hopes to protect their nations from the expanding power of the Dark King. Kaing seeks out Magus, the brother of the Ice Maiden in hopes of completing his training in his unique abilities within the discipline of Eloa to assist him to finally overthrow the Dark King.
