The game is set in the fantasy world of Illis, inhabited by a diverse and often hostile race. Conflicts between Orcs and Humans are constant, but even these inter-racial wars pale in comparison to the threat posed to the entire world of Illis by the emergence of the dark demon Farrah. Only by uniting will the people of Illis be able to confront this common enemy.
