The people of Lyneus fear and often mistrust representatives of Avadon, they also expect to have to pay large sums of money for a Hand’s aid. The trope of NPCs standing about just waiting to ask for the heroes aid is thankfully not all that present, either. You can work for Redbeard or betray him, you’re not necessarily taking a good or evil route and you’re rarely even sure who your enemies are.

But Spiderweb Software has crafted a game that’s a lot more ambitious than your run of the mill fantasy RPG. Sometimes it seems like RPG developers don’t have the confidence to tell a story that doesn’t have some generic, evil threat looming over everything that you - as the hero - have to defeat. There are plenty of opportunities to undermine your boss and you can even try to destroy Avadon from the inside. You aren’t stuck with being Redbeard’s lapdog. But it’s much more fun to be a wee bit shifty. You can still play the hero is that’s you thing. Of course, you don’t have to be a jailor. He has a haughty, mercenary personality and despite his might he’d rather wait for humans to sort out his problems rather than lifting a claw, himself. In exchange for his allegiance he is given freedom and his cave and horde are protected.
Zhethron, the first dragon you meet, is one of the most memorable characters in the game. These creatures are part of the Pact, but still remember the age where they were able to party and devour towns to their hearts’ content. A large ginger chap, who doesn’t seem to age, has survived countless assassination attempts and strong arms every nation in the Pact into following his rules is probably worth fearing.Įven powerful creatures, like dragons, respect and fear Avadon.
But the last thing anyone wants to do is draw Redbeard’s gaze. Without Avadon’s protection the five nations would be at war with each other and the ravenous wolves that surround the alliance, such as barbarian hordes and powerful empires. The relationship between Avadon and the realms it protects is one of the most interesting facets of the game.
