A summary of the first 10 episodes of Swords Against Madness.
Miria, a space-faring smuggler crash-lands on the world of Orbus, near the Island of Nar. Nar is a poor former colony of a failed Oligarchy full of conflict between its two religions, and is plagued by seeming indestructible monsters.
Miria steps right into the conflict by giving them the holy words she guessed had been engineered into the Island’s older faith by star-faring criminals, and thanks to horrible radiation poisoning, finds herself racing against time to fulfill a prophecy, hunt down an old space pirate associate, end the clash between faiths, and slay monsters, with the help of a pair of teen-aged misfits.
But her disruption to the culture of the Island paints a target on her back, and she is kidnapped by a sorcerer-assassin called Mormont, who attempts to sell her to Yanghu, the space pirate who shot Miria down.

Miria and her teen-aged friend Rayya manage to barely escape with their life, stealing a spaceshipin the process,
