The game takes place in the land of Fœnum. It is inhabited by four-legged, hooved mammals. In the past, the inhabitants of Fœnum used to live in fear of carnivorous animals known as the Predators. However, the Horned Prophet locked them away in a prison known as the Hold. This allowed the people of Fœnum to live in peace. Now, the Predators have managed to escape their imprisonment. To put an end to the threat once again, the different races of Fœnum each select a champion who must find an item known as the Prophet's Key. These champions, known as “Key Seekers”, will battle each other for the right to seek out the key and seek out the Predators to lock them away once again.
