The Kingdom of Phantasia is under siege in an endless war against The Vile Ones, and The Great Flame that sustains the land is at risk. After countless years of fighting, and after several of the most promising foot soldiers have either fallen or been turned, five Ashen Ones are raised from the dead to continue the fight in a last desperate effort to prevent darkness from subsuming the land. The last hope for Phantasia rests on the shoulders of five warriors of...questionable effectiveness...and dubious morality...
