How it begins

You are a seventeen year-old peasant. Enemy invaders have waged a relentless war against your people. Although the warriors have fought mightily, soon the battle will be lost. The council of elders have chosen you to beg the great oracle, unheard for centuries, for her counsel on how this horrible foe may be repelled. So after many days journey into the Black Mountains, you arrive at the entrance of a great cavern.
