You are Arkhan. Born in a post-apocalyptic world, you were raised in a Stallite (Citadel of Light), one of the few places in the world with natural sunlight. Outside of your sanctuary, the world is not a safe place. The darkness creates a sickness that ravages the land. Given such an environment, the sun is worshipped as a god. Early in the game, a sun priestess you are defending is attacked by an assassin. In defending her, you get a vial of darkness thrown at you. Affected with the disease, you wander the land in this 3d adventure game in an effort to cure your illness and bring order back to the world.
