Story
You take on the role of a downtrodden swordsman from an almost extinct ethnic group known as the Birdmen. Years of training and fighting leave you unfulfilled and without purpose, so one day you leave home to discover the fate of your lost childhood sweetheart. Your search for perspective is abruptly interrupted when you are shot out of the sky by a group of human warriors who specialize in capturing birdmen as slaves. You wake up with clipped wings and a confiscated sword in a land ruled by a sadistic king obsessed with harvesting the mysterious "red seeds". You realize that the fate of those you have been searching for is intertwined with the king's nefarious plans. To see them again, you must obtain a sword, escape enslavement and blaze a bloody trail to the ominous Spire City.
