A young goblin shaman of the nameless order is sent on his first solo quest to save a world from an apocalypse. Grazzak must search for the source of impending decay in a classic feudal world that has set itself up for genocide. Meeting many forest friends and gathering a collection of mad monks, he hacks his way towards victory one head at a time. He quickly begins to fear that the solution may take him the whole time allotted to his short-lived race to achieve.
