What evil power holds the town of Solanthii in its grasp? Every year, for the past 10 years, a huge black tower has appeared at dawn on the day of the summer solstice. At sunset hoards of undead have poured forth to lay waste to the town. King Alfred, the new monarch of Solanthii, enthroned only days before the solstice, has promised that the beginning of his reign will mark the end of the terror. Come to the aid of the king and accept the challenge of the tower.
