[edit] Story
For six years Vymorna has been besieged... but soon it must fall to the evil Lizard Men. Day after day you fight alongside your war-weary mother, Queen Perriel, but only divine assistance can save you now.
Then the great Lord Telak appears in a dream. YOU are the one chosen to seek out the weapon which will aid you and your city against the dark forces. Your mission will be fraught with danger but you must succeed... YOU are Vymorna's only hope!
Battleblade Warrior in the usual Fighting Fantasy setting of Titan, on the continent of Allansia, and revolves around the besieged city of Vymorna. The player assumes the role of the city's prince who, upon receiving a vision from the god Telak Swordbearer, slips out through the ranks of the invaders in pursuit of a means to end the invasion once and for all. A particularly memorable scene in the book is a sequence based around an Orc funeral.
