Orfaya

The world is in a time of war. A very powerful kingdom leads its invasion force into other countries and island kingdoms, subjugating them and taking their warriors and tools of war.

The declared goal is to conquer the known world.

Since the aggressor has already acquired a huge troop strength in this way and also fills his ranks with all kinds of strange monstrosities and magical weapons, no one can offer him serious resistance anymore. This circumstance he owes not least to a powerful sorcerer.

Riffolk Hewe is the youngest prince/princess of a kingdom whose king has surrendered without a fight in order to preserve his land, its inhabitants and culture.

As part of the emerging world empire, the king undertakes to send his army and ships against an empire consisting of several islands. This island kingdom is ruled by the player's uncle, the brother of the queen who died young.

Riffolk Hewe and his four siblings are supposed to lead the troops and take the island kingdom. A duty that the player fulfills only reluctantly.

After Riffolk Hewe's uncle rejects the possibility of surrendering without a fight, a simultaneous invasion of several islands begins.

Riffolk Hewe experiences from his ship how suddenly rocks rise from the sea and make it difficult for them to advance. It seems as if the islands come alive and take defensive measures.

Finally, huge sea monsters rise up, lashing out with their tentacles.

The fleet that Riffolk Hewe himself leads into battle is destroyed in the process, his ship sunk.

Badly injured, Riffolk Hewe is washed up on the beach of the island he had previously attacked.
