About This Game

Legends of Urak bundles four standalone adventures. The Earth quest retells the Beowulf saga with new battles woven through the original material. The Fire quest follows Crispin, a fire sorceress, as she hunts and slays a colossal ice drake to restore lava flow to the fire capital. The Death quest centers on a necromancer who raises the dead for battle, ending either by defeating a lich to retrieve his staff for the death lord or by seizing the staff and the death capitol outright. The Order quests draw from Arthurian legend and the Norse cycle: one ends with retrieval of the Holy Grail and the death of Mordred; the other features a unique hidden lord named Sigfried who transforms as the game progresses — he rescues the Valkyrie Brunhilde and defeats Attila the Hun.
