MEKONNEN: The Warrior of Light, Part 1
When Darkness descends upon a kingdom,
a Warrior must rise up to restore the Light.
Mekonnen is a young warrior in the Kingdom of Aksum, 6th century AD, during the reign of Emperor Gabra Masqal. After his kingdom is attacked by deadly, cloaked assassins of unknown origin, Mekonnen is caught in a cosmic battle of Light versus Darkness.
Mekonnen is trusted into a grand adventure as he tracks down the cloaked Qataliyan (Assassins), and the evil powers and principalities they serve. He learns he must find the 7 parts of the Armor of Egziabeher (Lord God of the Universe) to defeat these formidable adversaries and other hordes of Darkness.
