And as if that weren’t enough, there are bandits lurking east of Baarbadal, and another god in the wasteland ready t...

A new year is fast approaching, and so is trouble! Baarbadal begins its winter preparations and food stockpiling, but Dias doesn’t have the time to help out. He’s got a whole host of other tasks on his hands! There’s a new mine to inspect, a farming industry at the western border station to grow, and pregnant baars to look after. But all of that gets thrown into disarray when political unrest in the neighboring Beastland Kingdom threatens to spill into Baarbadal!

A blizzard hits Iluk, forcing everybody to stay indoors while it runs its course. The twins, bored out of their minds, demand Dias entertain them with a story. Dias thus regales them with a tale from the war, a tale that—unbeknownst to the man himself—has become legend. It is an epic of battles and strategy, of good versus evil, and of a small, unassuming hamlet grown into the famed “Golden Lowlands” with more than a little help from Dias himself.

After decades of war, Dias returns home as a hero and is rewarded with his own domain. When he arrives at his new lands, however, they turn out to be little more than endless grassy plains without even a single subject.Literally put out to pasture, Dias is stumped as to how to live any life other than a soldier’s. But when a horned girl named Alna crosses his path, Dias takes his first steps to being the lord of a not-so-empty frontier.

It’s sure to be a long journey with quite a few surprises in store for Dias, his family, and their newly arrived Lostblood wards. But that’s nothing compared to the biggest surprise awaiting Dias and his party: the unstoppable force that is Eldan’s mother…
