42 Year have past. Long enough for the world to heal. Long enough to forget the horrors of the war that almost claimed not only our lives, but that of our entire world. From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.

2004 - what an active year, many things happened...
The European Union got a few new members, the US elected a "new" president, the Olympic games finally returned to their origins after 108 years and for many people a dream come true - VALVe finished and released Half-Life².
We the rtm-team would like to thank their families and friends for their support, the pizzaman for his ontime deliveries time after time and all the fairtrade coffee plantations around the world, for their products - keeping us awake night after night designing for the greater good.
We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year - And here is what we want to show you:
4 in-game shots from our first alpha map
2 final renders of familiar monsters - the asskickin' wolffighter and the lovely zombie
1 concept art of the upcoming waterpalace location
