The Heroic Legend of Arslan is a rambling sword-and-sorcery epic set in a fictionalized version of ancient Persia. When the kingdom of Palse is attacked by neighbouring Lusitania, Arislan finds himself a fugitive, aided only by a few loyal subjects. Is he the rightful heir to the throne or is he the son of a murderous usurper, as Silver Mask insists? The fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.
