Synopsis
Explorers
Magic is believed to be the foundation of all that exists in this world. Kingdoms rose and fell in battle over the spirits who governed it. Today, only remnants of those grand civilizations remain. In search of lingering sources of magic and buried fortunes, brave souls scour these ruins from a bygone era. Fam and Ihrie, two such explorers, are on a quest for the fabled "Ultimate Power"—magic said to grant any wish. However, the prize is highly coveted by many other hunters willing to stake their lives, few of whom are pure of heart. Strength of mind and body alone will not be enough, but camaraderie among an unlikely party just might!
