Far from the shores of the Old World, beyond the Great Ocean, lies the mysterious continent of Lustria. Tales speak of treasures of gold and ancient knowledge ready to be claimed by those brave enough to take the risk. Every week it seems that another ship full of hopeful explorers sets sail for this new world on a journey of discovery.

However, those who land on the shores of Lustria find themselves in an environment that is completely hostile to the life of living organisms. The jungles teem with venomous snakes, carnivorous lizards, poisonous plants, and deadly diseases. The few precarious settlements that cling to the coast provoke the wrath of the ancient inhabitants of Lustria, the Lizardmen, who emerge from their temples to destroy all who intrude upon their territory.
