In 1291, the last of the crusaders attempted a raid on the holy land and were soundly defeated by Arabian warriors. While their mission failed, they returned to Europe with seven treasures with biblical blessings. On their journey back to their native lands, they discovered that they possessed magical healing powers. Corrupted and demoralized, they began using them for selfish desires, and sought to be worshiped with the help of a devil incarnate, Ba'Mendes. Their attempt at this also was also repelled by courage of good people, and they were exiled to the mountains of Transylvania to be forgotten. Now, in 1693, Transylvania is once again infected by rampaging monsters under the command of a dark lord whose ambition is to enslave all of humanity. Simon, a proven hero, must once again deliver his homeland from the forces of evil.
