01 Macán Dagdae: The Wood Man.

The player embodies Rhys, a Macán Dagdae who discovers his powers: he can grow edible plants, hear the trees speak and heal wounds. The company of Epona, on their way to Genaua, has set up camp sheltered by a grove to recover from a recent defeat against the Bloody Lance. A soldier named Bran (21 years old) has been blinded, the Vate Ceridwen (46 years old) does not seem to be able to save him despite her magic. Deep down, Rhys feels nature telling him to try, but fear grips him: what will the other mercenaries think of him? And if he does nothing and this man dies, will he be able to bear it? He sees his parents being thrown on the pyre by the Bloody Lance, the terror he had felt that day... He thinks back to the soldier of the Bloody Lance who, touched by his tears, had hidden him in a barrel. If an enemy could understand his distress, maybe his allies could too... or they would banish him...

The mercenaries of the Company of Epona, led by Commander Oanez Bled (35 years old) are united but superstitious; they are wary when something is out of the ordinary. Rhys and Bran (21 years old) "the One-Eyed" are very close and even when their opinions totally diverge, it is impossible to separate them. Bran dreams of opening a tavern at home in Octodurum, he is secretly attracted to Rhys. The population is terrified: in addition to the Bloody Lance which massacres entire villages and bandits who harass travelers, famine is looming. The population is wary and does not easily give up its information. The men of the Bloody Lance do not hesitate to arbitrarily beat; they forcibly enlist men by sequestering their families in camps. Soren Kernod "Steel Teeth" (38 years old), the great commander of the Bloody Lance, and Orwenn Coll "The fool of Lug" (27 years old), his second, inspire terror and no one dares to pronounce their names aloud.

Gallic era, in the following territories: Ambarres; Ségussaves, with the oppida of Lugdunum and Vienne; Allobroges, with the oppidum of Genaua; Helvii; Helvètes, with the oppidum of Tigurini. The religious class consists of druids who practice plant and ceremonial magic, of vates who practice sacrificial, healing and divinatory magic, and of bards who practice only the art of oratory. The Ogams are the only existing writing, used only by the druids and the vates. The Macán Dagdae can live for nearly a thousand years and have an intuitive ability to communicate with the elements and nature. The warrior caste has many advantages, but is subject to the religious. The Laboras caste works to enrich those who defend it. the region resembles the one going from Valais to Lyon. Mysterious beings live in the caves and forests, important artifacts can be found in temples or on certain mystical enemies.

Firstly, Rhys must find a way to save Bran who will remain one-eyed. thus this warrior will become his best friend and most faithful companion. The second objective is to break the siege of the oppidum of Genaua, whose leader refused to open the doors to the Bloody Lance and to kill Soren, the great commander of the Bloody Lance who practices black magic. The lifting of the siege will save the Macán Dagdae. thirdly, seek information on Eanna, Rhys's wife, he will learn that she fled Genaua with Luthien. Una (54 years old), a sorceress met near Lousonna, a follower of Morrigan, will reveal the existence of a chestnut staff with magical properties allowing better channeling of the tutelary energies; it must be found. The final quest is to find Eanna, but the information found is thin, it leads to: Lousonna, Uromagus, Viviscus, Tarnaiae, Agaunum, Sedunum and go down to get lost around the oppidum of Octodurum.
