For many years, the Order of Riders has existed in secret, protecting and helping the lands surrounding their base, the Rider's Keep.They became legendary to people, none knowing if they were truly real or nothing more than a rumor. Some sought out the Keep intentionally, others found it purely by chance. But those who did manage to find it were welcomed into the order, if they bonded with a creature.
For a long time, things were peaceful. But then a young rider challenged the Rider's council. He believed that the riders shouldn't be wasting their time helping people, but instead using their powers to seize control of the land. The Council members told him that this was not their way, and angered, the rider left, but not before recruiting a few riders to his cause. He swore that this wouldn't be the last time they heard of him, or his group, the Wing of Moonlight.
Almost ten years past, and no word came of him or the Wing of Moonlight. A great plague took hold of the Keep, and most of the Order, both creature and rider, was wiped out. Only a few healthy young pairs were left. It was then that the Wing of Moonlight re-emerged, preparing to take control of the Order and then the land.
But the Order's problems do not end there. With the Wing attacking villages throughout the lands, many have come to fear all riders, not just those of the Wing. Many of the rulers have taken action against them, hiring slayers to hunt down riders and their bonds.
The eleven remaining riders, inexperienced as they are, must work to rebuild the Order, or else, see it-and the land it once protected-doomed.
