For the last eight months, the city of Belbury has been occupied by an elite army from the other side of the world. This army, made up of soldiers who will think nothing of taking hundreds of lives to further their cause, are about to burn the city down. From what you have learned, they have found a way to summon a supernatural being that will destroy the city in one fiery blast. This blast — now being commonly referred to as the "Firestorm" — is expected to happen in just over a week. You have that much time to find out what you can do to save the city.
You set out on your quest. Only an hour on the road, you are attacked by a band of thugs. As they beat you, you see the symbol of the army of Thorak — the very same army that is threatening to inflict the Firestorm. Just before you pass out, you hear one of them comment on what a good addition to the army you'll be once you've been "re-educated" to the ways of Thorak.
Somewhere along the road, your captors are attacked themselves. You are left for dead in the forest. You wake up, somehow still in possession of all of your weapons and armor. You are in a lot of pain, but at least you are still alive. As you gather your wits again, a feeling of dread comes over you — the Firestorm is going to happen (or is supposed to happen) in just a few days!
You are the world's last hope. You must find Thorak and defeat him before his power grows any more. Knowing the egotistical nature of your enemy, you figure that Thorak will not be the easiest person to find. You figure that he's secluded himself in some far-off place where it will be just the two of you, fighting to the death.
