[The Scepter of Maris 02] • An Adept's Duty

A quest, a rebellion, and an invasion…

Meric’s mission of convincing the King of the Dwarves to give them the location of an artifact with other-worldly destructive powers does not go exactly as planned, but all is not lost. The Dwarves agree to help recover the Scepter of Maris in order to keep it from the Orcs. Their King sends a capable group of warriors to join him and his companions on their quest, and they set forth with renewed hope.

Meanwhile Glendon’s neighboring Kingdom of Rennick is dealing with its own share of troubles. A mentally unstable King is crushing his subjects under the might of his authority, and the people have finally had enough. A former Sergeant has chosen to lead the oppressed in fighting back, and they will do all in their power to end his mad reign.

And even as the others struggle, the Orc horde begins its inexorable march to reclaim the Scepter for their own. They will destroy anything in their way, and no man, woman or child is safe from their wrath. Their rallying cry of “glory and honor” will be heard across all lands and destruction will be all that is left in their wake.
