Those were exceptional times, the darkest of ages,
in a land where "once upon a time" was a forbidden phrase and fact the only legal tender.

That was the land I was born into,
a land of slaughtered bards, a land dulled and divided by fear.

That was Q’ntana, and this is its story, and mine...
a story that begins once upon a time...

Q’ntana’s nights are moonless and dark.
Its days, though lit by two suns, are darker still, as black-clad armies terrorize the countryside.

Now, one young bard must come out of hiding to embark on The MoonQuest,
the long-prophesied journey to end the dominion of a cruel king.

With nothing but stories to guide him,
he and his three companions share an adventure where the line between vision and reality often blurs,
and where evil threatens them in every moment.

Only by trusting each other can they elude the king's men.
Only by trusting themselves can they save Q’ntana and rekindle the light of the moon.
