From the Wiki:
The game is set in the world of Erdrea, and begins as the kingdom of Dundrasil is invaded and destroyed by an army of monsters. The protagonist, an infant during the attack, is among those who attempt to escape, but becomes separated and ends up floating down a river and is found by an old man known as Chalky in the village of Cobblestone. Being adopted by his daughter, Amber, the protagonist is then raised in the village. As a teenager, he eventually participates in a coming-of-age tradition by climbing the mountain Cobblestone Tor with his childhood friend Gemma. During the trek, they are attacked by monsters and while fighting to protect Gemma, a mark on his hand glows, allowing him to summon lightning to defend themselves. This starts a series of events that leads our young hero to discover the truth of his parentage and to find his destiny.
