The game begins with the resurrection of one of the older heroes. More than one player can embark on this quest, and because there were four heroes, the game will support up to four players playing simultaneously in cooperative game play.

The awakened hero is told that the ancestral weapon has been broken and pieces containing the essence of its power are scattered throughout the realm. The first task is to gather these pieces and reforge the weapon that will be used to battle Kaedin. Of course, this does not mean you can pop down to your nearest Lost Relics gift shop and pick up the pieces cheaply. Oh no. You are going to go on a dungeon crawl and recover them while other NPCs pop up with ‘urgent’ requests for aid.
