Tzar: The Burden of the Crown allows you to command one of three factions in an attempt to rule Keanor and eventually restore peace to the land. The time has come for a new leader to take control and smite the forces of evil and accept the burden of the crown for the sake of peace once again. It is now a time equivalent to the Dark Ages - a time ripe for a leader to step forward and take control of Keanor. Using his Messiahs of Evil, Greed, Treachery, Fear and Indolence, this lord of darkness steadily destroyed the peace and prosperity of the people and gave rise to fear, turmoil, and starvation instead. Without it, the good spells that held the dark forces at bay began to inevitably weaken, thus allowing the Potentate of Darkness to build strength. The spell worked and the mage disappeared but, unfortunately, so did the Crystal. Unable to defeat this mage or recover the Crystal, the apprentices managed to thwart him by casting a spell on the gem that would turn the mage into stone should he attempt to use its power. Then, unexpectedly, another super powerful mage was born - one who threatened to rule the world after successfully stealing the Crystal. For a millennium after his passing, his apprentices guarded and used it to suppress the forces of darkness. Nearing the end of his life, the mage transferred all his energy and wisdom into a single powerful Crystal. For thousands of years, the fantasy world of Keanor had known peace as a result of the actions of a good mage who grew mighty enough to fend off the dark forces of evil and chaos.
