The prologue takes place in the original and rather deeply written world of Medieval fantasy. There is an abundance of black-and-gray morality, and in plenty of signs of grimdark - all kinds of mess are demonstrated here quite naturally, at least what would seem mess to a modern Europeanized person. We don’t give a damn about morality and, in addition, show it in the form of a comfortable and colorful picture, casually and with a fair amount of humor.

So, for example, our main character (whose role the player will take on) is called Alric, at the time of the events of the game he is 26 years old, and he is an officer of the Slavers Guild - a completely legal structure that has a good reputation, resources, connections and a code of honor and even "holds" a separate city. At the beginning of the story, the management sends him on a “business trip” - to open a new branch of the Guild abroad. Apart from the fact he will have to go alone and on foot, and in all other countries slavery has long been banned...

How our hero came to live like this will be in the next post, but for now here’s a few pieces of art to catch up with you.
