In the mythical land of Arth, a powerful civilization thrives in the walled city of Arthdal, where the great union of tribes has formed under the rule of the powerful Igutu clan. The story follows three central characters whose fates intertwine: Eunseom, a young Igutu (a child born with a cursed fate who possesses extraordinary strength) raised in the forest village of Wahan; Saya, Eunseom’s twin brother who was taken to Arthdal as an infant and raised as the noble son of the great leader Sanung; and Tan-ya, a noblewoman from the Neanthal tribe with the rare ability to read the stars. As political intrigue, power struggles, and ancient prophecies converge, these three must navigate betrayal, war, and their own destinies in a tale of ambition, survival, and the birth of a kingdom.
