The Fountain of Shadows

The age of human wizardry is drawing to an end. The wizards are now almost universally despised for the part they had played in ancient wars and politics. The life of one wizard Syle is in a quiet valley where he now resides with his feline companion Greysquire. Now the valley's peace is shattered as a horde of beasts traverse it destroying the nearby village of Broadoak and slaughtering all but Tallon a half-elven girl daughter of Syle's inn keeper friends. There had been peace in the world for many decades but now Syle is compelled to determine the hordes purpose. Joined by a small group of adventurers they meet along the way Syle and his party must determine the key to dissipating the power which has mobilised the evil horde army. They follow a hazardous less well traveled route to avoid detection. Battling the ancient horrors in long dead cities in wilderness and underground each of the travelers has his or her part to play.
