The world of Richken is growing darker with evil growing ever increasingly in the hearts and minds of its inhabitants. The gods of good and light are deeply concerned that soon all will be lost, and evil will dominate this once beautiful world. They agree that to take action themselves will only cause the gods of darkness to work that much harder in influencing the beings and creatures of Richken. What they need is a hero. A hero that is identifiable to all, not just the humans, or the elves. A hero that cannot be tainted and will fight with his all to defend every being of Richken and to insure justice and peace. They enlist the aid of Nadeth, an ancient and wise Northern elf to help guide Arkan along his path.
