In the world of Ancaria, magic is derived from a power source called "T-Energy". It is bright blue fluid that is pumped out of the ground. the Elves constructed a vast network underground pipes that transport T-Energy all over the planet. Unfortunately, the network has begun breaking down. The raw magical energy spilling out onto the planet's surface is causing an ecological catastrophe that threatens to plunge the world into uncontrollable chaos.
The hero's reaction to this crisis depends on whether he/she has chosen the path of Light or Darkness. The player can choose from six character roles: Seraphim (quasi-angelic being), Inquisitor (evil religious fanatic), Dryad (archer with modest spellcasting capabilities), High Elf (profound spellcasting capabilities), Temple Guardian (Robot that is powered by T-Energy), and Shadow Warrior (sentient, free-willed undead with lots of chop).
