Three hundred years ago, Lord Ashram departed Lodoss to seek haven for his people; and in exchange for his soul, the God Barbas allowed Ashram’s people passage through the God Wall to the land of Crystania. In the present, Prince Redon flees for his life after watching his parents be assassinated. He travels along the God Wall and vows revenge, and to his dismay a voice, out of nowhere, offers him power, bids him to enter, and opens the God Wall. After entering Crystania, Redon meets the shapeshifting Beast Men who are fighting a civil war against both the 'God King' Barbas, and the dark elf Pirotess whose goal is to free Ashram from Barbas’ possession. Soon Redon discovers that it was Barbas who had offered him power; he must now make a choice between helping free Ashram’s soul, and joining Barbas to achieve the ultimate power.
