THE STORY SO FAR

Your journey had been long, but your purpose was noble. Beset by drought for six long years, a famine was destroying your homelands. Remembering tales of a great mystical staff possessing powers which could save your people, you've adventured against all odds to obtain the staff, succeeding where others had failed.
On the journey home, a violent storm rips apart your ship, tossing you into the ocean depths. Frantically struggling to stay afloat your pushed onto a strange island. Lost in the storm are all your possessions, including your precious staff.

But something is rotten on the island you find yourself on. Brutal monsters and epic challenges stand between you, the staff, and salvation for your people. Only after exploring the islands and communicating with the troubled people will you be able to understand the legend of Nemesis. Only then can your quest be concluded and your homeland saved.
