In The War-Torn Kingdom, revolution rages on Sokara.  You can join forces with the king to restore his throne - or look for profit in the pay of the dictator, Grieve Marlock.  Use fighting skills or sorcery, bribery or skulduggery to survive the assassins in the city backstreets.  Descend to the sewers of Yellowport to defeat the vile rat-king, Skabb.  Retrieve the golden net of the gods from the Repulsive Ones deep beneath the sea - and use the rewards of your victories to travel beyond the boundaries of the known world.

Your journeys will bring you foes and friends, danger and triumph, fortune and fame - and more adventures than you ever dreamed of.

Over the Blood-Dark Sea lies countless islands steeped in mystery.  Every port brings peril - from the half-wild settlements on the edge of Ankon-Konu, to the forbidden cloisters of the sorcerers’ colleges of Dweomer.  Every voyage means danger - from murderous pirates and haunted ships.

You can choose to be a daring explorer, in search of conquests, treasures and power.  Or a magical servant, invoking the secrets of the occult to annihilate your foes.  Or you can amass a fortune as a merchant, trading in spice shipments from the Sea of Hydras to the Innis Shaols.

Fantastic quests and hideous dangers await travellers in this savage land.  You can choose to be a warrior, using weapons and combat skills to defeat opponents.  Or a mystical mage, skilled in sorcery.  Or a clever rogue acquiring wealth and powerful amulets by theft and trickery.
