Filled with despair in the face of his imminent downfall, the sovereign of the kingdom decides to call upon a being endowed with supernatural powers, obscure and versed in the magic of ancestral relics.

The Stages
1 – Vicusremotus
The old town, once peaceful and prosperous, now reduced to a field of ruins after repeated onslaughts by the forces of evil. Broken towers lean precariously, their jagged edges jutting into the sky. Crumbled walls whisper tales of a once-vibrant marketplace, now swallowed by debris. The streets, once bustling with life, lie eerily empty, haunted by the echoes of a thriving past.
2 – Silvalefica
The woods from which no human returns, a boundary between the ancient human kingdom and uncharted territories. Trees imbued with mystery stand tall, their twisted branches intertwining to form a dense canopy that obscures the daylight, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. The air is filled with a supernatural silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen creatures lurking in the bushes. At the heart of this place, echoes of lost travelers resonate, their fate remaining a mystery. According to legend, it is here that an underground passage leading to enemy territories can be found.
3 – Tetrumonstra
In the goblin’s mine, a labyrinth of winding and deceitful caves, is fraught with treacherous traps. The walls are adorned with statues depicting ancient forgotten gods, partially illuminated by mysterious sources of light. Every step echoes in the darkness, awakening ghostly reverberations of these forgotten corridors. The air carries the metallic scent of ores, while strange whispers seem to murmur warnings in the tunnels. Navigating through this perilous maze might unveil the path leading to the mythical city of the goblins.
4 – Monsignotus
The ancient and sacred mountain stands as a testament to the existence of a bygone civilization. Its slopes and peaks whisper tales of a lost era through weathered engravings and mystical relics. Carved by ancient volcanoes, the very essence of this land carries the fiery history within its rocky veins. At its summit, a castle stands proudly, a sentinel overlooking the surrounding lands, a relic of an era long past, now inhabited by shadows and echoes from another world.
5 – Castenebra
At the mountain’s peak lies this malevolent castle, shrouded in the veils of myths and legends. It is rumored to serve as the epicenter of supernatural laws and a gateway to parallel dimensions. The castle’s structure seems to defy conventional understanding, shaped by ancient arcane designs that bend the very rules of nature.
