## Description
You are a hero; the Hero, in fact, who has just put an end to the Villain terrorising the island, ending your long quest. But you remember nothing of it; not the quest, not the woman claiming to be your fiancée, not your amazing deeds and immense riches. Five years have been wiped clean from your mind. When the Villain’s minions continue to cause trouble, you must travel once more, this time in search of your forgotten memories. But the more you remember, the less the stories ring true.

## Characters
### Seren
You remember your wretched past: the death of your soldier parents, your childhood on the streets, your harsh training for a war that ended before you could ever fight in it. The first eighteen years of your life were a constant struggle to survive. Five years later, you're rich, famous and confused.
