An icy wind howled outside the monastery walls as Jason studied ancient texts feverishly by candlelight. Ominous signs had been multiplying across the land over months, signaling the return of an ancient evil - Zanter, the dreaded Shadow Lord who once brought the world to the brink of apocalyptic darkness 500 years ago. All indications were that Zanter's resurrection was imminent if not already underway in secret.
Consulting with the High Priestess, Jason vowed to travel to the desolate Deadlands region where Zanter was prophesied to rise again amongst his fanatical dark army. Jason would do whatever necessary to stop the spreading evil before it gained unstoppable momentum. The Priests gifted Jason a powerful ancient relic to aid him in the coming trials. With destiny's weight upon his shoulders, Jason set off alone into the perilous unknown.
