The Dark Tower is set on the world of Qaedon, a thousand years before the Great Cataclysm and is the last part in the trilogy that began with The Curse of Feldar Vale and continued in Mystery at Morgoth. Known as the Age of Chaos, humans, greenskins, and all manner of monsters fight to survive these troubled times.
The malevolent being that has controlled events until now has been named. Your party must seek out the Archmage Kornath who knows the location of the evil one.
Build a party of 4-6 characters to adventure in the region around Cleerport, to seek fame and fortune, or more likely find just enough coin to put food on the plate. The Dark Tower delivers old-school gaming with hand-drawn 2D graphics throughout.
If you completed Mystery at Morgoth import your party to continue the adventure or defeat the dark evil in stand-alone mode with a new party of your choice.
