NeverEnd aims to take a walk in the shoes of such legends as Diablo and Final Fantasy. As one of a fading race of magical beings (the text goes to great pains to avoid using the word "elf," despite her appearance as one), the lead character is a member of a gang — what kind isn't made clear — who've just hit the veritable mother lode of cash. That affluence is short-lived, however: a set of bandits make off with the loot while the rest are sleeping off the party. So our "hero," as much as she is, sets off after the thieves.
