Fantasy
250 years ago, Ascalon burned . . .Desperate to defend his
land from advancing hordes of bestial charr, King Adelbern
summoned the all-powerful Foefire to repel the invaders. But
magic can be a double-edged sword--the Foefire burned both
charr and human alike. While the charr corpses smoldered,
the slain Ascalonians arose again, transformed by their
king's rage into ghostly protectors and charged with
guarding the realm . . . forever. The once mighty kingdom
became a haunted shadow of its former glory. Centuries
later, the descendants of Ascalon, exiled to the nation of
Kryta, are besieged on all sides. To save humankind, Queen
Jennah seeks to negotiate a treaty with the hated charr. But
one obstacle remains. The charr legions won't sign the truce
until their most prized possession, the Claw of the Khan-Ur,
is returned from the ruins of fallen Ascalon. Now a
mismatched band of adventurers, each plagued by ghosts of
their own, sets forth into a haunted, war-torn land to
retrieve the Claw. Without the artifact, there is no hope
for peace between human and charr--but the undead king who
rules Ascalon won't give it up easily, and not everyone
wants peace!
