Three years ago, the\u00a0throne of Carlissa was usurped and the kingdom overrun by the Warlord Zomoran, also known as the Black Magus. The stories\u00a0told by travelers and refugees were\u00a0all the same: that the Warlord somehow managed to summon an army of demons willing to serve him, and launched a surprise attack on the capitol city of Lannamon. King Danor and the entire royal family were brutally slaughtered, and Zomoran took the throne for himself.<\/p>\n
Instead of joining together to overthrow the usurper and destroy the demon threat,\u00a0the other\u00a0nations of the eastern continent resolved to make peace\u00a0with the Warlord. Lulled\u00a0by\u00a0reassurances\u00a0that he had no designs on expanding his kingdom, and afraid of\u00a0standing against\u00a0his demon army, each of them reluctantly made terms and treaties with the new ruler of Carlissa. Some\u00a0voices were raised in warning that the Magus could not be trusted, and that an\u00a0army of demons could not be expected to remain a peaceful neighbor, but few heeded them.<\/p>\n
Lacking a strong leader who could unite the other nations against the Warlord, the lands settled into a watchful detente. In Carlissa, Zomoran worked to solidify his iron grip on the kingdom, while a small but determined resistance formed to oppose his brutal regime. Bands of demons roamed the countryside at will, spreading terror and death, hunting\u00a0the resistance and their leaders. And the Magus’ army prepared for the day when it\u00a0would march forth again, this time to\u00a0conquer not just a kingdom, but an empire.<\/p>\n
Sanctum of the Archmage<\/em> is the story of\u00a0heroes who fought to bring peace and freedom once again to the Kingdom of Carlissa, and their\u00a0epic struggle to unite their world\u00a0in a crusade to defeat\u00a0the Warlord and his infernal allies.\u00a0Coming from\u00a0many\u00a0different lands and\u00a0backgrounds, they all had one\u00a0thing in common: an uncompromising refusal\u00a0to submit to evil.\u00a0And\u00a0as they soon learned, their struggle was only one part of a wider conflict, of a cosmic war between good and evil that had been going on for thousands of years.<\/p>\n Copyright Notice<\/a>.
