[edit] Story
For years the brave Knights Templar of the Demonkeep have kept the peace in Ruddlestone. But now an ancient evil has reawakened in the land: the sorcerer Belgaroth has returned from the dead and will use his powers to bring chaos and terror to this peaceful kingdom. To ensure his plans succeed, the evil sorcerer has enlisted the services of the Knights of Doom. One heroic knight - YOU! - must creep through a land plunged into war, penetrate the enemy lines and overcome the deadliest foe of them all!
In this book the player takes the roll of a Knight of the Order of the warrior god Telak. The player must destroy Belgaroth, the evil brother of a former king of Ruddlestone and now an undead knight, and his army of chaos beasts and walking dead. The quest is made difficult by the necessitiy to travel a certain route, gather important items - particularly Aelf-gar, a spear forged with Elven magic - and expose a traitor at the king's court.
