Raleigh is a small farming town in the middle of nowhere and not important enough for appearing on all but the most detailed maps. But nevertheless, you have always liked the life there. The people are a most friendly sort of folks, there is no poverty and no crime in Raleigh. As an orphaned child, you could have done worse. You thought you couldn't get much luckier when you recently even found love in the form of the elven girl Deliah. More than just one young man in your age envies you for dating the prettiest girl in town. You are not overly concerned about what happens outside the town gates of Raleigh. You think that 'big politics' can not disturb your humble life in that humble town. Unfortunately, you are about to find out that you are deadly wrong on that and that fate has chosen another path for you than leading a farmer's life...
