The album tells the story of the fictional land of Aina, after the death of King Taetius as his son, Torek, takes the throne. The story begins with a warning delivered to King Taetius (Damian Wilson) by The Prophets that warn him of danger on the horizon.[1] The story then moves on to the love triangle between Oria Allyahan (Candice Night) and the two sons of King Taetius: Talon (Glenn Hughes) and Torek (Thomas Rettke).[2] After the death of his father, Torek becomes the king of Aina. But, when Talon is the one that gains lady Oria's hand in marriage, he flees the kingdom.[3] Torek befriends a gruesome race know as the Krakhon, where he becomes a mix of king and deity to them; he also takes on the name Sorvahr, which is their deity.[4][5] Quickly, Sorvahr gathers an army of the Krakhon and leads them into a war against the whole world. Eventually he sieges and takes over Aina, casting out his brother, Talon, and his wife and daughter, Oria and Oriana.[6][7] In an effort to preserve his kingdom, Talon sends Oriana away from him where she can be safe.[8] Meanwhile, Sorvahr rapes Oria, who eventually give birth to Syrius.[9] Unknowing of their relationship, Oriana and Syrius meet one another and fall in love.[10] As the couple reaches adulthood, Talon returns to the kingdom, with a new army to retake the throne of Aina. Talon takes Oriana with him to help lead the army; additionally Sorvahr comes to take Syrius with him to lead the opposing army. As the two meet in battle, they declare a tentative peace on the battlefield. The peace is shattered when Sorvahr kills Syrius.
