Scepters

After the wars and hardships of the past several years, Alucius is happy
to finally return home to his Nightsheep farm and his wife, Wendra, who
is pregnant with their first child. But this happiness doesn’t last
long, for the land of Corus is once again beset by enemies on all sides.
Alucius finds he must return to active duty to do his part to stave off
the coming conflicts. He is promoted to higher rank and given command
of a combined force of Northern and Southern guards to aid the fight.
With his army, Alucius encounters all sorts of new enemies including a
religiously inspired rebellion and an alien evil that seeks to enslave
the entire population of Corus. Meanwhile, Alucius’ old enemy, the
Madriens, are again using their ancient weapons to wreak havoc on the
land.
