Set in the aftermath of the Lodoss Wars! When the fleet carrying the exiled Ashram, Pirotesse and their followers runs aground on the accursed shores of the Beast Island of Crystania, Ashram is possessed by the Dark God, Barbus. Pirotesse escapes, but it is three hundred years before she can find a group of adventurers daring enough to enter the land of the were-beasts. Only when a new group of humans arrives in Crystania does Pirotesse find her champions. Now, a new quest is born: to recover the lost "Fangs of the Beast" and banish the dark god back to the oblivion from which he came. In the sacred world of Crystania, amidst a civil war waged by shape-changing warriors, she searches for her beloved Ashram. She meets Redon, a young prince obsessed with avenging his murdered parents. Together, they confront Ashram's captor -- the bloodthirsty Barbas, who aspires to rule Crystania as "The God's King". Will they free Ashram's soul . . . or will Redon's innocence become the next sacrifice to Barbas' emerging power? (Credit to carnage.fanfic.org)<br />
