A Clash of Titans
T he
Whispering Tyrant is free! The time to strike against him is now, before he
recovers his full might and his long-dormant armies. Arazni, fallen demigoddess
and queen of the dead lands of Geb, presents the heroes with a daring plan. The
heroes must enter the dangerous land of Virlych, pass the bizarre profusion of
alien plants and mutated wildlife around the Whispering Tyrant's former prison,
and disable his arcane protections so that Arazni and the heroes can face the
lich in battle. Yet Arazni's undead bodyguard-jailors seek to drag her back to
Geb, and the remaining knights of Lastwall perceive both liches as their
enemies. The heroes must navigate threats from both the living and the dead to
stop the Whispering Tyrant from extending his grasp even further!
