It has been 22 years since the descendants of humanity, the Lightborne, were forced into a humiliating peace with the industrialized Elven Enclave. Little by little, their old world is crumbling as desperate nationalists and reformers vie against each other to prepare the Lightborne for a coming, existential war with the Elves. At the borders of this coming apocalypse, a repentant war criminal, once hailed a hero by the Lightborne and rightly reviled by the Elves, sits in a shameful military post, ignorant that justice is coming for him.
