King Parzival XIV has reigned through the modern era, watching technological and economical development far outstrip human social advancements. The atomic bomb. Unrelenting fishing, farming, clear-cutting and strip mining. Global warming. How could world wars and genocide not be the natural result of the mania unleashed by such unrelenting change?

He has said this has created a new and growing Wasteland, much the same as what occurred in ages long past when his predecessor, King Pellam, was wounded by the Dolorous Stroke. The land then was tainted and poisoned. The secular world was deluded by visions of grandeur that would lead to its own doom.

Only when heros stood forth could wickedness be defeated. Only when people turned away from selfishness could the land be made whole again by compassion and care.

Now in his elder years, the king seeks to pass along the traditions and stewardship of his realm to his son, the idealistic and photogenic Prince Loh. Many wonder what will come to pass when the grand old king sleeps with his ancestors, and the new prince ascends to the throne.
