The Seven Guilds of the Minotaurs have ruled over the Southlands of Equestria for decades with an iron fist. As the most dominate power in the land, the Minotaurs have grown arrogant and decadent. All that changes with the arrival of the Dragons from the East, and the beginning of the Dragons Conquest. Now the two races are fighting for dominance in the Southlands and their very survival.

Gregar is a guildless Minotaur with a tainted past. As the scum of Minotaur society he is poor, filthy and downtrodden. He struggles day to day to just get enough food to survive. Until he decides to set out to redeem his family name and joins the Legion, the military arm of the Alliance of Guilds.

Asbal is a Dragon prince, who loathes at the site of all the death and destruction brought about by the Conquest. Wanting nothing more for his people other than a peaceful existence after the collapse of the Draconic Empire, he is forced to deal with the political infighting of the Royal Council.

This is the history of two great heroes, from entirely different backgrounds and upbringings, uniting to bring peace and prosperity to a ravaged land.
