Synopsis

You're lucky enough to have met Rakeesh - an honourable lion who won't take baksheesh. With his help, you withstood the Trial of Fire, a mighty ol' quest with consequence dire.

Now Rakeesh's homeland of Tarna is under threat. An enemy of old is stirring, and the twin tribes of Fricana - the Simbani and the Leopardmen - are at each others' throats.

Can YOU solve the mystery, O brave hero? For if you cannot, the land of Tarna will surely perish in war...

With three (nay, four!) classes to choose from - warrior, mage, thief or paladin* - plus all the ability points to assign at will, you can create the hero you always wished to be. Best of all, each class offers different ways to solve the game, and you can export your last hero to continue the quest.

By sword or by spell, by hook or by crook, defend the land of Fricana from the Wages of War!
