Long ago, foolish men worshipped a malevolent power that lurked just
beyond the edge of the light. Now, they work to awaken their dark
master once more. If they succeed, it will mean the end of all you hold
dear. So, while lesser men quail in terror, you must take up arms to
defend the world against those who would enslave it forever.
The
dangers that lie ahead of you are not for the faint of heart. Deadly
crushing walls, unspeakable curses, and assassins cloaked in shadow
will try to claim your life long before you ever reach the corrupted
temples of Zorek. However, if you're lucky enough, you just might find
some help in unexpected places.
