It is spring in the 890th year of the Zhou kings. But the Middle Realms are in disarray! The Zhou bloodline is ended and the seven greatest hegemons claim the title of king, fighting for supremacy. And none fight with crueler efficiency than the brutal black-bannered armies of the state of Qin, declaring to conquer all under Heaven!
Into this war-torn land heroes emerge. They are valorous knights and learned scholars, empowered by ancient techniques and the primordial Tao.
But can even such heroes prevail against the might of Qin and the evils that this age of war has unleashed?
The game features misery, starvation, war, and supernatural horror, but the focus is on the human virtues and failings of the heroes and villains.
