In the aftermath of Mondain's defeat, the world believed darkness had been purged, yet whispers persisted of a more formidable successor wielding even greater sorcery. Years of peace followed, bolstered by mysterious temporal portals that opened new possibilities for exploration and progress. However, evil gradually resurged when Minax, Mondain's former apprentice, revealed herself as a corrupting force far surpassing her predecessor—rather than simply spreading malice, she turned the virtuous against one another, ultimately engineering the self-destruction of entire civilizations in 2111. With the few remaining survivors having escaped through time doors to prevent this catastrophe, Lord British and his council now summon a chosen hero to undertake a dangerous quest across different eras to confront and defeat Minax before her influence can reshape history itself.
