[edit] Story
The mysterious sorcerers of Solani Island have protected the local people from danger for many years. Now, it seems, their power has been usurped. An evil force holds sway across the land, an evil that seems to hold the power over life and death itself!
A hero is urgently needed to journey to Solani Island and discover what has happened to the wizards. Dare YOU be that adventurer? Who knows what terrible fate awaits you on the island where death rules? There is only one way to find out. Are YOU brave enough to solve the mystery of Solani Island?
In this book the player, as a young fisherman, travels to Solani Island, which lies near his village at the south-east coast of Allansia, to discover what has happened to the four elementalist wizards who are supposed to protect the coastline. The island, however, has turned into a haven for the undead, as one of the elementalists had meddled with magic beyond his control and driven his colleagues into a murderous conflict. Only when the elemental gemstones are recovered and united may the quest be completed successfully.
[edit] Title
