The natural beauty of the kingdom is slowly being destroyed by Logan's desire for industry, and you and other members of Logan's posse witness his brutality first-hand. - It is then that you decide to take a stand.

Throughout the first portion of the game, effort will be spent questing and acquiring followers, forming allegiances with leaders of regions and other influential characters as you build your revolutionary army to fight against Logan.

Upon assuming power, the player takes the role of king or queen, and is given the responsibility of dealing with the problems and consequences this brings. Will you fulfill the promises and boasts you made on your ascent to power? It's your call.
