The kingdom of Valiance has collapsed into a state of chaos! Rebellion, mercenaries, and tyrants have overrun the lands of Valiance. The Valiant Throne is empty. As one of the few lords of Valiance remaining after its collapse into chaos, it is your duty to reestablish order. Your rivals will resort to trickery and sabotage in their attempts to bring down your forces. Be warned! As you assemble larger armies and conquer more territory, you’ll be haunted by dark visions of a world in ruins; too many of these Dark Omens and withdrawal becomes necessary. Step up and claim the Valiant throne!
