community into beasts, and drives them insane. Soon, a group of mercenaries comes, in search of shiny boxes, and end up taking control over the community of

beasts. Thankfully, the king was not blind to what was happening, thanks to his spies. However, he soon falls under attack by both of these peoples. He turns to the

Arlorians to stop (nameless mercenary lord's) conquest.
