Five thousand years ago there was no magic on Delos. It was an older world,
where few resources remained. Beyond solar and geothermal, there was no source
of energy. The power dependent civilization was threatened. Then scientists
discovered what they thought was a new energy source. They began a research
program that would free the power that bound the universe itself together,
what we would call a sort of cold fusion on a cosmic scale. Tremendous amounts
of power were needed to open a small window to this new power source. The
resulting explosion destroyed the planet's third largest city.


The next attempt to tap this power source was located on Delos' lone moon. It
was connected to the planet by a massive beam that was one of the society's
greatest, and last, achievements which was capable of delivering to Delos
enough energy to supply the entire planet's need three times over. When this
beam hit the planet it was to be controlled and converted to usable energy by
a Quantum Tap. This tap appeared to be a large, faceted jewel whose facets
glowed red, blue, and green and was quickly dubbed the "sunstone" by the
media. Unknown to the researchers was that the fundamental truth that the
universe is not bound together by some abstract energy source. It is joined
together by a force that doesn't obey the laws of nature. What else could
control and bind the laws together but something beyond them? This force had
occasionally leaked through on other occasions and there was even a name for
it: magic. The beam that still showers Delos in magic was many times more
powerful than expected. The Quantum Tap was shattered by the sheer mass of the
magical energy cascading through it. For a brief moment it held, then
shattered and doing so reflected a large portion of the magical beam back at
its source.

When the breach occurred, raw magic poured out and the sun seemed to shatter
into three magically charged glowing orbs. Even as the sun split, it showered
Delos with gemstone shaped charges of crystallized magic. The very nature of
the world changed. Continents shifted in hours and crashed together in a
single mass that centered on Delos' equator then split apart again. Unknown
for a millenium an evil entity, spawned or trapped amid the magic also came
through the crack in the wall of the universe. This entity is known only as
the Laria. The Laria is a personification of the evil potential in magic.
Instantly it was able to take man's darkest nightmares and have them appear as
an array of deadly monsters. Once these creatures take physical shape, they
can be destroyed. Some are defeated more easily than others, but so long as the
Laria lives on this plane, the plague of horrors will continue to regenerate.

A few key "laws" of physics ceased to operate, bringing technology to a
crashing halt. Without electricity or mass transit, the cities were abandoned.
Without certain combustion processes, nitrate-based explosives were useless.
Monsters thought to exist only in the grimmest fairy tales and myths ravaged
the shocked survivors. The very land itself changed with dangerous regularity.
Where a mountain had stood yesterday might now be a swamp. A once safe land to
cross might find a dragon infested forest had risen up in its midst.

Within a few generations, the population had diminished to just a few
struggling outposts scratching a dangerous living from a world they no longer
were lords of. However, after a few generations of breeding amid the flow of
magic, some men found that with practice they could cast spells. And their
magic gave them the means to reclaim their world. As the age of technology
ended, the era of Magic began. Over the next five millennia magical
civilizations rose and fell leaving behind strange and wonderful treasures and
terrible dangers. The first grew strong with the exuberance of newfound
magical power. In ten cities whose enchanted towers rose into the clouds and
where food was magically transmuted from weeds and gold from dirt, the wizard
lords who ruled would, and did dare anything. Spells acquired increasing power
until one spell triggered a chain reaction that destroyed the cities, the
towers, and everyone in them.

Of the first Great Age, only haunted ruins filled with magical menaces and
traps remained. Where the Shards of the original Quantum Tap were once
magically held apart, they can now be reassembled. This will allow access to
through the gates that the Laria hides behind. If the Laria can be slain then
evil will stop regenerating and mankind has a chance at reclaiming the world.

Scholars have discovered this fact and have begun looking for a hero to bring
the Sun Shards together. A hero is needed as each stone, by its magical nature
sits in a location of the greatest magic, and hence danger. Further the stone
must be reassembled in the place where the beams still concentrate on Delos,
the unexplored center of the Valley of Dragons that shelters the Gateway to
the Castle of the Laria. Once there, only the most intrepid heroes will have
the opportunity to battle through the most powerful monsters and finally face
the Laria in magical and physical combat. Victory will finally allow mankind a
chance to reclaim Delos.

Enter a world comprised of more than 700 maps, 300 spells, 100 monsters and
100 of NPCs. Choose to play a hero from 8 different character classes:
Paladins, Knights, The Cat Warriors, Mentors, Reavers, Earth Mages, Air
