Prologue
The crest of the kingdom of Adrok depicted an intersecting sword and double-bladed spear. Each of the three edges were identical in length and appearance. Together, they represented the legendary origins of their greatest ruler, Queen Trinity.

Near the beginning of Adrok's long history, the king was given a daughter named Trinity. He also had three sons before her but felt they were unfit to rule as they were given to green and thoughtlessness. On the contrary, it was evident Trinity would value the welfare and livelihoods of the people. Therefore, he decided to go against custom and grant her the right of inheritance.

The sons, naturally unamused, plotted to kill Trinity. Finding an opportunity, they surrounded her with swords drawn. Each one was aimed at a different vital point: neck, heart, and stomach. However, before their weapons landed, a miracle occurred. The gods had recognized Trinity's morality and protected her with a divine shield. It not only deflected the blades, but overwhelmed her brothers with holiness and killed them on the spot.

For that reason, Queen Trinity was said to have always kept those swords by her side from the day she was crowned, symbolizing her fortitude and righteousness. Throughout her life, the brave, wise ruler accomplished many feats which served as the source of the kingdom's pride to this day. Moreover, she was as revered as a goddess by many citizens, particularly the royal army.

The same could have been said of Adrok's present general, Mertroy. She shared Trinity's sublime talent in wielding the double-bladed lance and won countless battles in her name. Unfortunately, the selfsame paragon was now the kingdom's greatest threat, for her memories had been disrupted and rearranged. The proud soldier had been reduced to a mindless berserker. All notion of loyalty was lost in the mists of oblivion. The only urges that stood clear in her consciousness were those to fight and to kill, directing her to the royal castle where she decimated the ranks of defenders.

The one responsible for her transformation was the torturer Jaik. Born into the family that oversaw Adrok's dungeon, he learned dark arts to assist his father. The most useful of these skills was that of memory manipulation. However, those sinister spells along with his death-steeped life warped his soul, manifesting as the infliction of unnecessary suffering to prisoners.

In time, he joined a fringe cult fixated upon the more obscure parts of Adrok's history, such as Queen Trinity's brothers. Those fanatics touted they instead of their sister possessed the true privilege of rule and wished to return the kingdom to its rightful course. Jaik, too, embraced this idea.

Mertroy was aware of the cult's danger and hoped to destroy it by storming their headquarters. Unfortunately, Jaik had prepared a trap for her, allowing him to remove all trace of patriotism from her with his fearsome techniques. Now, she turned her blades against her comrades, utterly unaware she was once their commander.

Upon learning of their dilemma, you came running to Adrok's aid and witnessed the tragic scene for yourself. You knew Mertroy was not at fault, but the nation would fall if you did not stop her. Hoping that another miracle would occur, you silently unsheathed your sword...
