Set on the planet Tuul, which has existed for centuries without human knowledge. Tuul's people have been ruled over by a single shaman who "was blessed with all knowledge". Thoros, the latest ruler, finds it near impossible to choose between his two sons as the next ruler. Believing it will solve the dilemma, he leads them to the deserts and kills himself. His body becomes two stones, light and dark, and he gives one to each boy to rule their own kingdoms respectively. The people of the lightstone form the kingdom of Androth, and the people of the darkstone form Ka'dra'suul. But while Androth respects their stone, Ka'dra'suul reject theirs, and are transformed into monsters by it. In this time, a ka'dra named Sarlac seizes power & forms an army and leads them against Androth. Knowing of his people's doom, King Vlaros of Androth, aided by the magi Galadril, sends his son Kyle to Earth to save his life and gives him the lightstone for safe keeping. 20 later, Kyle has become a renowned military captain and mercenary. After breaking out of prison facing court martial, he begins having strange dreams, and is eventually confronted by Galadril. He is told that it is time to return to Tuul and save his people. The story begins here with Kyle setting out to kill Sarlac and reclaim his throne.
