Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga spins an epic tale of the Eldar Region, a land plagued by monsters for a thousand years. One hero, the man destined to reunite the four races - dwarves, elves, halflings and men - is your character in this story.

These fragments are pieces from a great meteor shower hundreds of years ago that spawned monsters throughout Eldar."
