The Holy Roman Empire, 1397 A.D. Investigator of the Congregation Kurt Hesse is sent to a mountain Alpine camp where the best fighters of the Inquisition are trained. Just another routine drill—something he’s already seen dozens of times. Nothing more.
Many miles away from the camp, an agent of the Emperor arrives at Castle Karlstein—the imperial residence. Just a report about a mission successfully carried out, given by the ruler himself. Nothing more.
And meanwhile, in Prague, knights from all over the Empire gather to take part in a grand tournament. Just a demonstration of martial prowess, seeking glory and silver—nothing more.
At least that’s how it was supposed to be.
