The game is set in Torland, the world of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII''. Unlike the original ''Builders'', however, this game does ''not'' follow an AlternateContinuity wherein the evil wizard Hargon emerged victorious and conquered the world. Long after the wizard's defeat, his remaining disciples, the Children of Hargon, have set out across the globe, capturing any Builders they find to ensure that the ruined world cannot be rebuilt. As one such Builder, you are saved from an unfortunate fate by a friendly amnesiac named Malroth, with whom you must set out to restore the world that Hargon has laid to waste.
