Saber and axe, they are your most loyal companions. You trust your comrades, but even more, you trust your skills, your dexterity, and your determination. You are a fighter, a good fighter, and good fighters are needed in Tobrien. The landscape is harsh, still partially tainted by demons, and dangerous creatures lurk everywhere. However, the front lines are no longer as clear as they once were, when Borbarad, the demon master, subjugated the land and enslaved the people. Nominally, they have regained their freedom, but when allies turn out to be oppressors, when the baron is unable to protect his people, when the mercenary leader Gardula and her captain Sarkum, the red butcher, drop their masquerade, a hero is sought—one who may not even realize that he must be that hero. The red butcher is a solo.
