Fun Thread Guess the Story!!!

[Flenser]

The story is about a farmboy whose parents aren't known who discovers a strange key plot device sent to a wise old mentor by a captured princess, and has his uncle who raised him killed by the impenetrably cowled servants of the Evil Empire. The two set off for revenge. The mentor is a former knight, who teaches the farmboy how to use his mystical powers in about five days (not that his magic is much use until he becomes stronger) and gives him a magical sword that belonged to his father before buying the farm. Luckily, the farmboy meets up with a Badass Anti Hero, rescues the princess, who is also a major player in the Rebel army, and joins the rebellion, becoming a key member before going to train with a half-mad old hermit in the forest. After this, he discovers that his father was the Empire's right-hand man and he's been betrayed by his own family... which is it?

I'm certain this can be revived, but I'm pretty sure this game still doesn't have a chance of prolonged life. I bet this one can be put to rest in the Archive, no?
