Perhaps that was his intention that night; for me to know that I am no longer the keeper of his secrets. That now, he is as unknowable to me as ice to a spring bud. 

You play as Eurys. Once a wanted convict, you were picked up from the streets by the young Prince Vinum and given another chance at life. The two of you become steadfast friends, sworn brothers, and maybe something more. After realizing your need to improve in arcane arts, you leave Fyor behind to further your studies up north. 

But only a few years after you leave, the witch dragon of Durgam suddenly attacks Fyor, laying waste to your home. To make things worse, the late queen dies, leaving Vinum alone to deal with the aftermath. By the time you return, it's too late. The dust has settled, and the boy you swore to protect is forever changed. 

Presently, you resume your post as the crown's guard. But no matter how you try to fix your relationship with Prince Vinum, he regards you with nothing but stone cold indifference. Old enemies return with a vengeance, hell bent on destroying Fyor. Will you be able to get through to your best friend before it's too late?
