Synopsis and characters
The setting of the series is Tert, a post-apocalyptic world in which technology is mostly forgotten and people have sunk into chaos. Vast meadows have been turned into dessert, while elsewhere thick forests have taken over. The land is inhabited by deformed mutants and dangerous animals, such as large carnivoreous ostrich-like creatures. Time itself has been altered, as some people seem to never age, while others die in only a few years.

The main protagonist is Kandrak of Looz, also known as Kandrak the Brave. Before the series start, his village was destroyed and his family was murdered by the army of tyrant Harazok. Since he avenged this tragic event, Kandrak roams Tert in order to defend the opressed. Kandrak owns one of the few firearms in Ert, a heritage from his father. Other recurring characters are:
