King's Field: The Ancient City

Story

Something is not right in the land of Heladin. Their king is dying because he was struck by a strange idol he was given as a gift. The land has been enveloped by a strange sadness, a certain darkness that taints the souls of the people. Ever since the idol was brought into the kingdom, the once thriving nation fell into a state of corruption and decay. Fearing for the life of his king and his homeland, the swordmaster Septiego set out with a battalion of his best men to bring back the idol that was believed to be the cause of this tragedy. Unfortunately, the group was never seen or heard from again. The idol was considered lost forever, but the decline of the people continued.
