There are many planets throughout the multiverse... worlds where legendary creatures walk the earth and fill the sky. Here Be Dragons... In some of these worlds, man has learned to shape and focus the natural weave of elemental forces. On these worlds, it is known as magic. It is magic that dominates the Empire of Izmer, and only Mages, those elite few born with the ability to harness its power, have the right to rule. All others are consigned to a life of lower station. In the principal city of Sundall the Empress Savina rules from his royal palace, in conjunction with the Council of Mages. The standing imperial army, the Crimson Guard, and their commander, Damodar, enforce the law of the Mages throught the empire. But it is by the incredible might of the Royal Sceptre and its ability to command the immensely powerful Gold Dragons, that the Emperor and his ancestors have forged a might empire in the aftermath of the Great War. They have brought stability and prosperity to Izmer for many centuries...until now. The evil mage Profion plots to overthrow Savina and claim her Royal Scepter by tricking the Council of Mage into believing that she is unfit to hold it. To do that, he'll need to possess the Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that has the power to summon Red Dragons, who are even mightier than the Gold Dragons. Two thieves named Ridley and Snails unwitingly become a part of the Empress' search for the Rod with the help of a low-level mage named Marina, a dwarf named Elfwood, and later Savina's tracker elf named Norda. Our heroes must find the Rod of Savrille before it falls into Profion's hands.
