Plot

The player characters begin the game by telling the patron in a local tavern about how they defeated Dran Draggore and saved the town. A mysterious man then enters the tavern to ask them to rescue the ruined city of Myth Drannor from the Lich named Acwellan who rules the city. The man tells the characters that the Lich has an ancient artifact called the Codex that is needed to save Myth Drannor, and then he teleports them to just outside Myth Drannor after they agree to the quest. The explorable areas of the game include the forest surrounding the city, the mausoleum, and also the city ruins which include a mage guild as well as a temple.
