The Wild Country is an unforgiving continent, filled with monsters, war, and conflict. Very few people can survive outside the Royal Cities of mankind, and when they need protection beyond the skills any knight can provide, they hire the services of the Marauders.Marauders are an order once dedicated to pillaging and murder but have now evolved into men and women of honorable repute.

Whether it's hunting a monster, protecting a caravan, or fighting to save lives, he is bound by the magic ritual Word of Honor to fulfill any job he accepts to the best of his ability. But, as his life moves forward, so do other mysterious events that could mean a more significant role for him within this unstable world as a mystic voice calls him towards both his past and his future.
