The human world is in danger of being destroyed by the Drakkhen. But the gods have granted the humans a final chance for survival. They will be spared if they can collect the eight tears on Drakkhen island. Start your quest by inquiring at prince Hordkhen's castle. His castle lies before you. Go fourth!! May luck be with you!!
