High in the Frostbyte Reach, Dwarfholm Bastion is under attack. Using powerful rune weapons, vicious orcs are overwhelming the dwarf defenses. Chances for survival are bleak when Gork, the young crown prince, discovers the orc’s magical runes are of ancient Arcadian origin. As a last hope to save his people and finally prove himself worthy to his father, Gork embarks on a dangerous mission to the deserts of Arcadia. There he hopes to uncover the secrets behind the rune magic and turn the tide in the war against the armies of the Dark Consul.
Gork is joined in his quest by the famously hazardous Nyan-Nyan, the Chaos Kitty, and Terras, an inventive druid sent to find the missing Princess Ruby. Together, the unlikely heroes journey to the cursed realm of Arcadia. But there is a reason the secrets of Arcadia’s tombs have remained hidden for so long. The horrors within are fed by an ancient portal to the Dark Realm. None who enter the Blasted Tombs return alive.
Gork must balance the fate of his realm and those closest to his heart as he faces the demon within the dungeons of Arcadia.
