Story
Thousands of years have passed since the time of the High Beings warriors - powerful Gods for whom Sarmontazar was a battlefield. But an ancient prophecy remained in the world of the Earth Circle - which stated that in the year when a fire comet sparkles in the sky of Sarmontazar, three Star-born, three strongest warrior-magicians who are doomed to become earthly incarnations of departed Entities will be born. The time has come when the prophecy is still fulfilled. Now Starborn will have to meet in a new battle. Oktang Urain, the Servant of the Dark Essence-Hummer, was able to find a way with the help of ancient black magic to change the past - and from now on he subordinates to his will all new peoples and tribes of Sarmontazar. Elien Tremgor, the Blacksmith of Light Essence, Gailliris, cannot cope with the enemy alone. The outcome of the battle depends on which side the third Starborn - Shet oks Lagin - will take to the Commander standing between Light and Darkness.
