In the world of Fidonhaal, the forces of Raakaru, the Hateful Heart, ever seek to undermine and ruin the people of the world. Fidonhaal's history is laden with the triumphs and defeats of evil, and tales of the heroes, heroines, villains, and villainesses who have partaken in this great, ages-old conflict. Now, however, the vulnerability of a broken heart has enabled an agent of the Hateful One to spread across the world a darkness never before known by the Fidons; a darkness that, even if initially defeated, could still linger long afterwards. Hope remains that the ones foreseen in ancient prophecy, known as the Daughters of the East, still may succeed in vanquishing this menace. Sheeva Mivinaar, the queen of the eastern nation of Enmayar, has risen from the pains of her past to undertake the bettering of her country and the protection of her family. Lerannu Stonefaith, the mage of Enmayar's royal court, has endured tests of life and study to find herself at the side of the leaders of the East. Mira Greenheart, a huntress from the forest village of Plen, has honed her skills in survival and the bow by walking beneath the boughs of the great Santaru Forest. Ruth Pionaar, a knight of the Temple's Faithguard, has risen from a humble birth to stand tall and mighty in arms against the foes of the faithful. The fates of these four and those dear to them will determine the course of Fidonhaal in its war against the unholy treachery of Raakaru.
