5 | The year is 360 AD. After 12 years of training at the Academy of Tara, Bryan the aspiring bard is finally given his first assignment: he is to play music for the inhabitants of the sleepy little fishing village of Oi, where nobody has heard music in decades. He looks forward to an easy life of [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Sex, Mead and Bardic Music]] where nothing could possibly upset his life of leisure-- only for that fantasy to be violently shaken from him the moment he steps foot in the village. |
