Set after ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', Dorothy has left Ozma in the care of the Scarecrow. Unfortunately, the new king quickly led to the fall of Oz rather than unifying it like he had intended. There's now civil unrest in Oz to the point where a rebellion is trying to take down the new king.
