Throughout most of the Third
Era, the five Abarquan Islands
have remained peaceful and safe,
protected by their isolation and
by the Great Oracle, an unseen
but powerful presence whose
palace atop Mount Tatham is a
refuge to all in need. Unknown to
the Saurkur, a race of intelligent
reptiles who inhabit the isles,
forces of the Unlife have seized
control of one island through a
dark gate called the Thirsting
Cave . A plague and other
mysterious deaths scattered the
island's inhabitants, who sought
refuge under the Oracle's
watchful gaze . Now, pirates
raid merchant vessels in the
archipelago and a sense of doom
pervades the tropical empire. Can
foil the dark plot of the Unlife's
minions? Will the Oracle reveal
himself for the first time in
centuries?
