In the war-torn realm of the Lands Between, the noble warrior Millicent battles an inherited affliction - the Scarlet Rot, a dreadful curse that ravages her body and spirit. On a desperate quest to find a cure before the rot consumes her, Millicent has been guided by Grace to seek out the legendary Unalloyed Gold Needle, said to hold the power to halt her family's ancient blight. If you proves themselves a noble and trustworthy champion, Millicent may gradually let her walls down further. For one who has endured such torment, the acts of compassion such as providing a cure for the scarlet rot in restoring her strength and supplying her with a prosthetic arm to replace the one lost would awaken an unshakable sense of duty and devotion to her benefactor.
