A land fallen into chaos needs stalwart heroes to save it from a sinister and powerful force of evil...
Enter a massive sprawling world of wild forests, frozen plains, misty mountains, scorched deserts, and endless oceans. Explore cities, towns and villages to rest and recover as well as buy equipment.

Descend into dark dungeons, castle ruins, and mysterious places to find treasure, fight evil, and locate powerful relics.
