In the past, Theodoric of Ackenburg and his comrade-in-arms Ulrich Grevelsky accidentally discovered a piece of an ancient artifact known as Aaron's scepter. Theodoric had long ago hung his sword on a nail, tired of the horrors of war. However, he will have to take up arms again - former comrade Ulrich nightmares Europe and the Middle East in search of other fragments of the scepter. If the collected artifact is in someone's hands, the world will inevitably grieve.
