On the planet Keplar, in the land of Chelt, there are many intelligent races. Most of them have mutated from humans during the Century of Creation, and now the blorcs (black orcs) have grown strong enough to attack all other races. A prophesy was once foretold of a human male that would be born from Amber magic who would someday unite the races. But prophesies aren’t always fulfilled, and now the power that was intended for one has ended up in two.

Shorn is the blorc prince, born on the same day as Maidawn, and also has Amber magic within him. After he has a vision of Maidawn and her swords, he knows that he must track her down, as his new amber chainmail hauberk has the same symbols on it as Maidawn’s swords. Feeling that they are somehow linked, he sets out with his best friend, a smelly green goblin named Stench, to travel the breadth of Chelt, seaking to meet this human girl.

The king of the blorcs sends his personal guard, the Black Plague, after Maidawn to retrieve her swords. Grizill Toefungus and six of his most fearsome warriors head out to kill the human girl and bring her swords to the blorc king.

Reilyk the Red, a blorc who is a black mage, felt the Amber magic that Maidawn used the first time her magic was activated. Greedy for more power, he’ll do anything to gain her unique magic, so he sends an emassary, a nasty harpy named Vipersous, to track her down. He doesn’t care about her swords, he only wants her magic.
