Story Arc Summaries

Main Article: The Story of the Zenethian Heroes

Arc 1: The Lands of Branca

The Zenethian Children witness the destruction of their Hometown and their childhood friends are taken from them. With the drive for vengeance, the group heads to Branca, meeting King Alphonse Brancana as well as Zenthai, The Dragon King. The Children learn the prophecy of their birth and the destiny before them. They agree to help rally the disparate armies of Azimuth and to retrieve the hidden Zenethian Items, to face the dual threats of Psaro the Manslayer and Esturk, The World's End.

Arc 2: The Lands of Burland

In Burland, the Zenethian Children deliver the first of Brancana’s missives. To convince the Burland king to aid them, they set out to rescue the missing crown prince. With the aid of Gruknock, Captain of Burland, they learn the extent that Psaro had hunted them and the means their enemy was willing to go to.

Arc 3: The Wild Lands and Konenbur

In the Wild Lands, the group first witnesses the strange abilities of their donkey, Chedae. They reach The Shrine of Breaking Wavesand find the first of the Zenethian Items. In their search for the second, they venture to the realm of Cascada where they learn what motivated the evil of Psaro and inadvertently bring war to Konenbur.

Arc 4: The Lands of Soretta

After meeting the cleric, Leo, and arranging passage on his ship, the group travels to the elven lands of Soretta. Though the laws of the land forbade them to, they went to the World Tree following rumors of another Zenethian Item. Within the great tree, they retrieve the Zenethian Swords, but at the cost of banishment and the life of a party member.

Arc 5: The Lands of Keeleon

The group reaches the orc lands of Keeleon and see firsthand the destruction Esturk, The World's End, will bring. They promise Princess Alena they will help the orc people, and they gather the Zenethian Axe before leaving the ruined country. On their voyage north, they are pulled towards the Mausoleum of Dwarf Lords. Though they recover another item, the place was a trap set by Steverossa. Brigitte’s divine blood is taken and Rath begins to fall to darkness.

Arc 6: The Lands of Santeem

After reaching the Grand Bazaar, the group grows to understand Esturk’s meddling in the region, and they decide to split to pursue all their objectives. Leo returns to his home and confronts his past, Grupe liberates the orcish people from imprisonment, and Rath falls further from the light.

Arc 7: The Lands of Endor

As Endor prepares for war, the group meets with High King Thorik Oathenhammer and gain the assistance of Johanna, Shieldmaiden of Endor. Aoth enters the Endor Tournaments and the party prepares to face Psaro in The Arena. Though Brigitte studies much about corruption, the darkness takes Rath and Trip is slain by his hands. Resolute, the group chooses to face the threat of Esturk first and seek out the last Zenethian Item.

Arc 8: Towards Esturk, The World's End

In the sea the group meets Petra D'Silva and battle against the Great Leviathan. They recover the last item and Zenthai reforges the Zenethian Items into new forms and christens the group the Zenethian Heroes. They return to Tarteria and enter the mines leading to Esturk’s realm. In a great battle they rescue the souls of the Dark Champions and Esturk is set to slumber once more. The cost was great and Zenthai was lost, however a new Dragon was revealed to the world.

Arc 9: Towards Parthenia and Psaro

Returning to Branca, the Heroes join the great war council of the gathered forces and prepare to bring battle to Psaro. After a seeming betrayal during a scouting mission, the Heroes join the Battle of the Bay of Shipwrecks and invade the lands of Parthenia. They enter the Citadel of Bronze, and there face their final fight against Psaro the Manslayer.
