Step into the polished shoes of a wandering duelist, bound by an oath to protect a nobleman entangled in a dangerous love affair. Your mission is to safeguard your charge amidst the treacherous currents of courtly politics.
Beyond the battlefield, you'll navigate the complexities of daily life as a fencing instructor. Earn a living by teaching noblemen who treat swordplay as a mere game, take on private lessons to make ends meet, and perhaps even mentor a young protégé named Anna, who dreams of escaping a simple farmer's life.
Combat mechanics are deeply inspired by the authentic 16th-century techniques of fencing master Joachim Meyer, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience for those who master its intricacies.
