[edit] Story
While you are on an expedition, the winter calm of your northern home is shattered by a blazing sphere of death. It comes flying down through winter skies in a maelstrom of fire and lightning to rain destruction upon your village. But where did it come from, who made it - and can it be stopped? YOU must take up the quest to find answers to all these questions. But beware - the sphere is only the key to a far greater danger that threatens all Allansia
In this book the player assumes the role of a mountain man who is just returning from a successful trade in the south, when a huge iron sphere passes over his village raining fiery death upon it. His parents killed in the attack, he vows to track and bring down the forces behind the sphere. As the adventure progresses, the player finds out that the sphere is merely a test version of the Tower of Destruction, a gigantic flying fortress devised by a mad sorcerer. In order to reach the Tower and defeat its mastermind, he must visit an ancient Elven city hidden in the eternal ice of the mountains and find its magical treasures.
