Onward and Upward!
Long ago, the elven Kingdom of Marindel governed the realm of Tyrizah from its place on the back of a giant sea turtle. But when a great evil was unleashed, the Era of Peace came to a tragic end. Thousands of years passed, and Marindel was all but forgotten.
Now, the Great King of the Sea is recruiting ordinary(?) people from across the realm to rise up and band together against encroaching dark forces. The ultimate goal? To call his daughter home, and thus prepare the way for the Return of the Kingdom of Marindel.
