[edit] Story
The great seals of Gorak have been broken and the True Shield is gone - the Malice of Orghuz has again been unleashed!
As a direct descendant of Tancred the Magnificent, it's up to YOU, a simple assistant in the underkitchens, to undertake the awesome quest for the Shield. With the Shining Sword in your hand and the cat goddess Tabasha the Bazouk at your side, YOU must enter the Chasms of Malice to seek out and destroy the evil Orghuz...
The player is sent on a quest to find the True Shield by the Wizard Astragal and is given the aid of the cat goddess Tabasha the Bazouk. The adventure takes place in a series of tunnels and caverns under Gorak, a location in the continent of Khul. In addition, the seven Khuddam have to be killed. This book marks the first appearance of the wizard Astragal, who is a recurring character in Luke Sharp's books.
