When the dragons were destroyed, a new world was born. But, the humans may be destroyed. The humans failed to heed the gods' advice and wiped out the dragons. So the gods made a new world. One for the Drakkhen; half human, half dragon.
The new Drakkhen island world was divided into four parts. They were earth, fire, air, and water. Each area is ruled by two Drakkhens. The human world is in danger of being destroyed by the Drakkhen.
But the gods have granted the humans a final chance for survival. They will be spared if they can collect the eight tears on Drakkhen island.
Start your quest by inquiring at prince Hordkhen's castle. His castle lies before you. Go fourth!! May luck be with you!!
