"What can be done - must." - Sebsatian Stahl, Chancellor of the Stahl Republic Nied, once a vibrant and lush land ruled by the first great kingdom of Man, has been reduced to a barren wasteland. Its people, once proud and indomitable, have been reduced to embittered survivors of their land's destruction. Mighty, prosperous Old Nied was brought down by Baron Vincent, and his undead hordes, in a plague-fueled near genocide that rotted the very land itself.
