The Forgotten King

300 hundred years ago, the kingdom of Lezek was under the rule of a king who desired great power. To the west was the Kingdom of Talia, with its powerful magic and army, and to the east was the Kingdom of Malikin, famous for it's rapidly increasing technology. Paranoid and fearful of an invasion, the King summoned the greatest magicians in the land and summoned a great demon queen, binding her to the land before marrying her, thus producing demonic children. Using the marriage as a pact with the demons, Lezek made war on both its neighbors, and after a long and horrible war was defeated, and the King of Lezek and the royal family fled far south across the sea, to the islands Austuine. The people still left in Lezek found themselves at the mercy of both the now uncontrollable demons and the kingdoms of Talia and Malikin. The two kingdoms, after plundering and looting, left the now ruined people of Lezek to fend for themselves. Years passed, and Lezek was forgotten, a vast territory that Talia and Malikin would not claim, for fear of the demons that still roamed the land.

The land fell into gloomy chaos, while on Austuine, the royal family forgot their roots and forsake their lost kingdom. Until one day, a rather unremarkable merchant's son named Thomas had his father pass away, and found the Kingdom of Lezek's crown, royal sword, and an old map of the kingdom. Thomas also found a list of the family tree, and that nearly 150 years ago the family had diverged, with a distant cousin the current ruler of Austuine. With nothing to lose, Thomas proclaimed himself the lost king of Lezek and caught the first ship to the continent, only to find himself having to walk from Talia, as the former Kingdom of Lezek is in terrible disrepair. The game begins as he arrives in the village of Belafon, the former captial of Lezek, to the ruins of the once great castle...
