Homeland is a part of the Chaos Rising Stories, and focuses on the northern expanse of Chaos, while the other stories in the Chaos Rising story deal with other areas of Chaos influence. Homeland is set within Kizlev, but the first chapters are detailing how he reached Kizlev, and he travels through Europe detailing the land, and following this he does travel into Prussia many times thus detailing The Empire. Alongside Jacob Swan and his story the story of Homeland also deals with several important characters across Europe, of whom tell the stories of their lives leading up to the time they are at currently including Medrig Hallbreaker, and Morgomir.

Homeland begins with Jacob Swan joining Earl Scott in attempting to relieve the city of Tree Hill, and after being defeated he wakes up in slave truck being sent westward. Horrified that its humans that are sending him westward he eventually arrives there with many of the other slaves being sent to paris, where he learns about current affairs in France before being purchased by a Kizlev man and begins his trip eastward.
