Manual description[edit | hide | hide all]

In the nation of Nighon, a young ambitious female overlord named Mutare seeks to defeat an aging, ineffective neighbor, Ordwald, who has squandered his land and done nothing to deserve his valuable territory.

In her campaign to expand her territory, Mutare learns of a fabled magical vial of Dragon's Blood that, when ingested, will transform a human into a powerful sentient dragon.
