Travel to an ancient realm of magic where the powerful Grand Wizard Koeus set in motion events that would lead to a cataclysmic end. In his arrogance, he believed he could train ten apprentices in the ways of magic. He created magical stones controlling the powers of earth, wind, fire, and water. Using these stones, the apprentices became powerful wizards, but their hearts became corrupt and turned against Koeus when they learned of the life limitations the stones imposed on them. The Grand Wizard was forced to destroy his apprentices, but destroyed himself in the process.

Centuries later, after the great wizards have long vanished, apprentices Kale and Masan are awarded the titles of wizard and earn their first magical stones at the School of Hundir. They embark upon a journey in search of other stones, and along the way, learn the true power of friendship. Their quest takes them through dangerous lands, where unlikely alliances are formed with Corsair, a great warrior, Megaera, an omniscient elf, and Lasca a beautiful and captivating thief. Through their quest the group discovers a bond that unites them as they battle the powerful Darklocks, an ancient evil threatening the peace of the lands.
