The War of the Iron Fist has raged for centuries, born from hatred between guilds—strong and weak. What began as a peaceful guild, focused on defense and healing, became the tyrannical force known as the Iron Fist. Corruption had seeped into its core, and over the years, it morphed into a ruthless empire, oppressing villages and cities with an iron grip.
Other guilds fought back, but the Iron Fist's spies infiltrated rival factions, sowing mistrust. Any chance for unity was shattered, and peace became an impossible dream. The war has been ongoing for 549 years, with the Iron Fist growing stronger and more tyrannical.
The Guild of Jikres, which controls the village of Rhöem, has fought to defend its land, but the Iron Fist's army now marches toward them. They had long hoped to remain untouched, but the approaching threat has left the village on edge. The Jikres guild has begun preparing, gathering allies, and stockpiling weapons in the hope of staving off the inevitable.
The elders of Rhöem understand the war's gravity. They've known for years that the village couldn't remain safe forever, but the younger generation has no such knowledge. The children of Rhöem are blissfully unaware of the world beyond their village. They've grown up with peace, their lives filled with laughter, school, and simple joys. They never imagined they'd know war.
Conrad, like many of his peers, has lived a carefree life, unaware of the danger closing in. The elders speak of the war in hushed voices, but it's all distant stories to the children. They are protected by the illusion of safety, unaware that the world outside is crumbling.
But as the Guild of Jikres prepares, the war is becoming impossible to ignore. The air feels heavier, the adults more anxious. It's only a matter of time before the Iron Fist reaches them. Conrad can sense it—a change in the air, a quiet unease that lingers.
The time for peace is running out. The village will soon be forced to choose: fight back or be consumed by the war. And Conrad's world, as he knows it, will change forever. The people and places he holds dear will soon be tested in ways he never imagined.
For now, the village remains calm. The children still play in the streets, and life seems peaceful. But beneath that calm surface, the storm is gathering.
The Iron Fist is coming.
