MindLink Studio announces the development of a real-time tactical wargame in a fantasy setting, Telladar Chronicles: Reunion. The storyline tells about the destiny of the Telladarian Empire after the War of the Seven Nations, narrated in the first game of the series, Telladar Chronicles: Decline.
The Emperor of Telladar has died, leaving his three-month-old son. According to Imperial laws, a regent must govern the state until the heir comes of age. But none of the Governors, wallowing in intrigues and struggling for personal power, is able to lead the country. Decapitated, lacking in unity, ruined by the recent Orc invasion, the Empire finds itself at the verge of dissolution
The player will assume the role of a young knight, one of the heroes of the War of the Seven Nations and a son of the perished Captain of the Imperial Guards. At an urgent request of the Conclave of the High Priests of Telladar he becomes the regent and the guardian of the heir. Now he must reunite the country torn up by internecine dissensions and defeat its numerous enemies, proving himself a skilful military leader, a wise politician and a diligent ruler.
