You are Sareth, young apprentice to Phenrig, a powerful wizard. Phenrig has raised you for a single purpose, training you in the arts of magic and war. At the beginning of the game you are sent to the free city of Stonehelm, home to the mage Menelag, a friend of your master. Your task is to help Menelag retrieve the Skull of Shadows, an ancient and powerful artifact, the only remaining relic of Sar-Elam, first and greatest mage of Ashan.
