The test of strength has come down to who can destroy all competitors, regardless of the cost to mankind. Treaties no longer have value. Wisdom is considered weakness. Men have become their own evil gods. No need for quaint mythology or learned theology. Morality is now simply the claim by which actions of the strong are given authenticity. Increasing chaos in the skies and the waters are Nature's oblivious response to imbalance wrought by men. Ereben Leaf, last Guardian of the Ruins, must find a way to salvage what remains, while seeking a route to peace, among men as well as beasts. What can be saved?

If a thing is created, something must be consumed. Every change brings about another change. For every magic spell that is cast, a counterspell is also cast. Nature will always maintain that balance. If we attend to the counterspell, then the result of a spell may be the outcome we expect. Otherwise, each act of magic, no matter how small or trivial, increases the chaos of both man and beast, of forest and glade--of all that we cherish, and deem to be stable and immovable. Past ages have left remnants of their carelessness within their ruins. Erben Leaf, last Guardian of the Ruins, has taken upon his shoulders the task of preventing the careless use of magic from once again emerging as a plague upon mankind.
