Within, the ruling elite is losing its jealously guarded monopoly on the use of magics. Without, hordes of enemies threaten the realms of man. In these troubled times heroes are few and far between. On the isolated island of Idra, lies the Black Priory. Its great libraries were once a haven of enlightenment and wisdom. These days its halls see far darker practices. The Wizard Lord dispatches an elite group of his finest knights to bring Imperial justice to the accursed monastery. However, all is nearly lost when disaster strikes on the high seas: The ship carrying the party is lost in a storm. All perish, save one: You. Stranded on the shore of the bleak island, you are the people's last hope for Imperial justice! Gather what allies you can and prepare to face the Black Priory - pray your sanity holds!
