Back story:

   Shortly after the fall of the Rhulan Empire a new evil emerged, a power that could only have been held back by an even greater darkness. The land was ravaged by demons that came from the Red Sun which appears in the sky once every fifty years *the rotation a mere five after the fall of the empire*. The kings of three kingdoms made a pact with the demon king Lahk Fhar to restore peace to their land and bring prosperity. Once every fifty years they were to give him a princess. The three kingdoms would become MeNok the land of wealth.

 

   Many centuries have passed since this time, nearly a millennia in fact. The kingdom of MeNok, its people know nothing of the deal their ancestors made, only a secretive cult knows the truth, a cult of nobles and the king. The king not willing to sacrifice his own daughter demands another in her place. The wording of the contract with the demon king only calls for a princess, it says nothing of it being of their own families. In the dark of night they send a mercenary to kidnap the princess of the neighboring kingdom of Dynast. The Prince of Dynast, the betrothed of the princess Prince Darian Dynast discovers the kidnapping just in time to pursue the mercenary who vanishes somewhere beyond the closed boarder into MeNok.

 

   His father will not allow for an international incident, and besides the boarder is closed due to an epidemic in MeNok, or at least that is what the boarder guards say. Prince Darian knows what he must do, take only his basic gear and go ingonito as an adventurer, sneak beyond the boarder, and rescue the princess. He knows not why she was taken, nor does it matter.

 

Characters:

 

Darian Dynast: A swordsman skilled at the use of many magical items and weapons. Dresses in basic gear at the start of the adventure as he is incognito.

 

 

Gameplay:

   A single player action adventure game with RPG elements. The player starts out with basic armor, a commoner’s sword, and other basics as well as low HP and MP. There are no experience points, rather special items and power ups will increase the HP, MP, as well as strength and defense along with gaining new skills and spells to call from. The player has an item window to select special items and weapons during gameplay.

 

   -the game is comparible to games such as The Legend of Zelda series and Okami in its basics-

 

   Enemies appear randomly on screen, but are fought in the same environment on the screen rather than a special zone like most random encounter games, the battle zone is locked off by the sigil wall to prevent escape with out use of special items or commands. There are also many puzzles and labyrinth like dungeons to explore through out the game. The basic overworld will be towns in Dynast and MeNok, a magic portal in MeNok leads to the final area the Red Sun’s Burning Hell.
