Main Storyline Plot
Upon arrival to the event, you watch Winston unveil a Frankenstein-ish monster made of human body parts. Within seconds, a vigilante force appears and starts trying to kill the beast with crossbows. The beast goes on a rampage, brutally murdering most people at the party. The player and Polly chase the Vigilante out of Darvel and to their base in the destroyed Old Brettony. They are both kidnapped and force-fed stories about the dictator which everyone believes is fair.

The vigilante force leader, Marcrulo, attempts to recruit you but Polly resists, which results in all of Old Brettony being revealed as an airship, and lifted into the air. Marcrulo flies the ship across the water to Gyu Tyem, a run down Asian village where the Dictator shows his true force, by executing people from the town randomly. Polly, shocked by this, decides to join the order. You are given the choice, whether to join or not.

Whether you join the resistance or not, Marcrulo sends you to TZ Oculorium, where the great dictator supposedly lives. Asking at the reception points you toward Pontefract, the leader of the Engineers Guild. Pontefract takes you into the great throne room, where all there sits is an empty throne. He then explains that before you were concussed and taken by Polly & Winston, you were the great dictator of Adamantia. Pontefract then asks to sit in the throne. The player cannot leave until they do so. When they do, they see flashes across all of Adamantia and they are able to decide the fate of certain people who's stories are presented to them. This includes members of any guilds the player, now known as The Dictator, is in.

Afterwards, Pontefract reveals he wants the dictatorship for himself and tries to kill you. After The Dictator manages to knock him out, he hits the alarm and the security sets off. The Dictator is advised by the game to returned to Marcrulo when possible, The Resistance now taking over all of Gyu Tyem.

When The Dictator speaks to Marcrulo about the events, Marcrulo will either forgive or outcast The Dictator depending on the choices they made during their time in the throne room. Polly does a similar action, but at least one of the two will forgive you. Marcrulo reveals his next trick, that all of Gyu Tyem is a massive hillfort, and soon enough, Pontefract and his armies come in their thousands.

Atop the hill fort, The Dictator is able to fire cannons and other steampunk devices at the oncoming armies, before the hillfort takes a massive hit. The Dictator awakes after a while, and finds only Winston left awake. Winston follows The Dictator down to the bottom floor generator, where they turn on the power and people are shocked back into life. Then, reunited with Polly & Marcrulo, they fight Pontefract as he is the only one left alive after the power surge.

In the final quest, The foursome make it to the Chasm Of Gyu Tyem, a massive hole where Pontefract is near death.Marcrulo then reveals that he has wanted the throne the whole way along, and tells The Dictator about how he was in the National Army with them before the events of this, and when they became Dictator, he lost respect for the Dictator and then set up their ship to be fired down by the rebels, which he soon after joined and became leader by killing the previous leader.

Polly then reveals that she knew who The Dictator was the whole time but didn't want to tell The Dictator because she was afraid it would change who they had become. She also reveals that Winston is not her father, but is in fact her lecturer at the Aviator University in Velsuvus. The Dictator is then able to choose who to forgive and who to kill. Each has their own benefits. At the end of which, The Dictator is able to stay as the secret leader of the country and lead it as they wish, or hand the country over to a democratic vote.
