It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown.

Epic Storyline: Immerse yourself in a rich world – Unravel the secrets behind the current situation in Nortander. Explore Eo, a fully-realized world filled with interesting characters and heart-wrenching stories.
