One thousand and one hundred years ago, men and dragons warred over the land of Blaine. The armies of humanity were bested, and their survivors fled on the wings of ship and spell to the distant continent of Solum.
Eons passed and technology grew. The empire of Magnus sought to bend Solum to its will, but at the cost of countless lives, the heroes Shon, Siegfried, Anakin, and Kelik put its conquests to an end.
It has been two hundred years since Magnus’s landlocked war. In a bid for further power, the greatest magician of their culture has done the impossible: rediscover the path to ancient Blaine.
Vessels of conquest have sailed forth from all the great kingdoms of Solum. First Magnus’s fleet of war, then its lesser rivals in nomadic Atheya and draconic New Blaine, then snowy Alicia, feuding Valencia, and the untamed Western Archipelago.
All sought the ancient secrets of that abandoned land, and the true story of what happened to those Solum left behind.
It is one of these expeditions, and its dark fate, whose story we follow.
You’ve heard of TLP1, I’m sure. TLP2 never grew far beyond its conception, and TLP3 was never anything more than an April Fools joke. Let’s see if the fourth entry in the TLP series, made by someone who hasn’t actually played the original beyond the first few chapters, can do any better than two-thirds of its predecessors.
Planned features:
- Fun and challenging maps!
- A cast of unique and interesting units, possessed of complex and powerful skills!
- Centuries of technological advancement, clearly shown in the world and mechanics!
- Writing combining jokes and references to the original with an actual serious story and immersive world!
- Bungus from bungus trailer!
- Weather that doesn’t slow you down, just looks pretty!
- A total of 22 chapters planned, including optional Gaiden chapters and noncombat Interludes!

April Fools!
the april fools joke is that this isn’t an april fools joke
it’s an actual, somewhat playable hack that I hope to finish eventually
before you ask “what happened to Of Sand and Sabres?”, I’ll get back to working on that soon™
