Several adventurers have retired to a small and peaceful village near the small kingdom of Nurm. A former officer from the disbanded army of Ionien, a woman trained for combat in the empire of the Rak'ra, a mysterious mage, a former planewalker, a thief so legendary, that no-one knows his name and an almost young warrior. They enjoy the peace, of a quiet farming life, not knowing of their danger.

The sense of experienced adventurers warn them almost in time. After stopping in invasion of evil humanoids and other monsters, they have to realise that the enemy they face is far older and more powerful than they bargained for. Only a quest for the legendary River of Steel can bring hope.
