For eons, Lord Jova and the noble Shatar, the elephantine people, have maintained their serene distance from the intrigues and disputes of Alkebulan's sentient races. Their homeland, the vast Wild Desert, has stood as a natural barrier, shielding them from the wars and discord that raged beyond. Yet, the ever-expanding shadow of the Black Emperor did not spare even this tranquil realm. His agents audaciously abducted Lord Jova's cherished daughter. Now, fueled by a father's love and rage, Jova embarks on a perilous quest to reclaim her. The kingdom of Varbassa rides with him.
