Sword of Vermilion is about the role of Erik’s son, who takes on a quest
of revenge to defeat Tsarkon and free the world of Vermilion from evil.
In the town of Excalabria, the people went about their business and
tended to the fields. One day, vicious fighting broke out everywhere as
the army of Cartahena, led by the wizard-king Tsarkon, swarmed all over
the town. The townsmen were overwhelmed. The castle of King Erik V
collapsed. Erik summoned his bravest, strongest and most faithful
warrior, Blade, and gave him his infant son and an ancient family
heirloom, the ring of wisdom. He ordered Blade to save himself and the
child while the castle burned. Blade traveled to a small village named
Wyclif, where he settled down and raised the child as his own son.
Eighteen years later, the son of Erik begins his quest. Save the world
of Vermilion and fulfill the prophecy of the Malaga fortune-tellers!
