Our hero is Gerrin, an ordinary citizen of Khorinis. The events in Arkon occur after the Nameless Hero has sailed from the island, and Khorinis is slowly being overrun by hordes of orcs. The city makes a final stand, but the paladins are outnumbered. Gerrin knows he doesn't have many options. He could either die in battle, but he's no experienced warrior. The most likely scenario is that he would fall into slavery to the orcs. With this knowledge, he decides to escape the island on a small fishing boat. He'd rather die at sea than be a slave to those filthy creatures, he thinks. Exhausted and dehydrated, he finally reaches the mainland. It's not the mainland he had hoped for. Instead, he finds himself on an island he had never heard of before. And there, our story begins. What secrets lie within the halls of the old sanctuary deep in the dark forests? What or whom are the militia men and bandits searching for? Why did some people from the mainland deliberately come to this place?
