As tiffin brews in Chancelot Kingdom, some random affair kicked Arthur Pentaghast out of the royal palace and his cushy life. He was sent on a save-face quest to pick up and deliver a mystical sword. Fortunately, he was joined by San, his beloved commoner bard, and a bunch of decent weirdos.

Unfortunately, trouble constantly brews, and he somehow throws himself onto the fated path of uniting his kingdom against an overseas invasion from some mysterious, Shadow Order of Cynics. One that would test his love for San with his duty as the next Monarch of the Western Isles.
