Jericho, the land of humanity, writhes in pain. Magic has been forbidden for centuries in this so-called "Age of Silence." Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with each passing year. Many have succumbed to despair, others are driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age only written in books and fairy tales.

Demi-human caravans have grown scarce. Orcs, elves, and others still have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. They can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind.

In the midst of this upheaval, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. An orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints, she bears the mark of evil in her red hair; the telltale sign of a Witch.

In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, Gabrielle clings to a simple hope: that one day, be it in life or death, she may find herself forgiven of her sin.

The sin of being born.
