Darkspyre

Back of Box

Rising from the ashen soil of the Valley of Tears, Darkspyre tower spirals towards the heavens. Angered by the failures of the people they created, the Gods of the Three Ways--War, Magic and Intellect--built the granite monolith as a final test of mankind's worthiness to exist. The gods decreed that man would perish in a rain of fire and lightning unless a champion was able to overcome the trials of Darkspyre within 2000 years.

Most of those years have passed, and even the great warrior Borel was unable to complete the quest. You are the last to enter Darkspyre.

Mentally preparing a final spell of healing, you draw a finely crafted scimitar, its razor edge gleaming in the torchlight. Compelled by rage, you raise a buckler of wood and leather and prepare to meet the challenge.
