A winged creature soars across the sky, spear in hand. As it passes through and over the clouds we see it joined by a few dragons, wrapped in leather harnesses and barding, clutching large boxes beneath them. They are the forces of the marauder, a being who is trying to take over the world of Aranna and annihilate its people. As the dragons land, the large boxes open up and scores of mercenaries pour out. You are one of them.
