''In the war-torn land of Midden amidst political intrigue, unrest, and lurking evil; a band of brothers join forces to make their mark. Whether they are seeking fame, fortune, or nobler pursuits; the brothers decide to pool what money they have to hire mercenaries and travel to where trouble and gold flow.''

The planet is tidally locked to a binary star system (Blålys & Rødlys). Only a small band around the equator is habitable. When in the sky, Blålys casts a blue light upon all of Midden. When in the sky, Rødlys casts a red light upon all of Midden. Hjem has one moon, Skygge (shadow).

Only the Midden has seasons. Since Hjem is tidally locked in its orbit with the binary stars, Blålys & Rødlys, it suffers long periods of light and long periods of darkness. Those that live in the Midden record the passage of time by the alignment of Blålys & Rødlys with the moon, Skygge.
