About the Game

SETTING

The world is made out of five elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Iron. The Lords of Magic are the rulers of the Bronze Age. Humanity, led by the Lord of Iron, threatens the hegemony of the Magic Lords by spearheading the Age of Iron. A cruel war breaks out between the Magic Lords and the Lord of Iron with heroes fighting valiantly on both sides. When the Lord of Iron was about to deal the decisive blow and win the war, the Lords of Earth, Water, Air and Fire conjured up their most wicked spell and cursed iron, birthing its destructive plague: rust. The Lord of Iron acted swiftly by binding the world in chains and is the only one that keep it from collapsing. But his strength is lessening and time is running out. The only way to stop rust from destroying the world is to defeat the Lords of Magic and revert the curse.
