The world doesn't yet know the full extent of the chaos to come. Orcs roam the land mercilessly butching the innocent. Empires commit atrocities for no reason other than ambition. Pirates stalk the seas looking for their next unfortunate victim. Even with all these things Rhys has still grown up relatively naive. He dreams to join a guild and become a knight, the source of justice and peace in the world. You can't become a real knight though without magic, and Rhys had only ever heard about it in myths and legend before he arrived at the Imperial capital. Rhys must learn to use magic before it is too late and forces beyond control destroy plunge the world into further chaos. Empires will struggle. Armies will clash. People will die. The world is cruel and unforgiving.
