1627; A young, noble and penniless man rides towards Paris. The impetuous d'Artagnan harbors a single dream: to become a Musketeer of the King and thus join an elite corps symbolizing prestige and heroism. By a twist of fate, he will cross paths with three valiant companions in arms: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, known as the Three Musketeers! In the realm of Louis XIII, conspiracy reigns. Catholics strive to retain their power against Protestants, the English are perceived as a threat, and the Musketeers must thwart the schemes of the powerful Cardinal de Richelieu and his elusive accomplice, Milady de Winter. But don't they say that strength lies in unity? The Three Musketeers have made it their motto: "One for all... all for one!" *Source: FairSquare Graphics, Vol. 1*
