You play as Thraebyn Tarbeard, a young dwarf from the exiled tribes, who is abducted by the vile Oluzhias and forced to do the necromancer's bidding. Along the way, you learn to summon minions to aid you in battle against the fierce and wondrous creatures that inhabit the brutal, untamed swampland, as you quest for the Dhrasmahdôl, ancient orbs that empower the Yvercrown. Will you help Oluzhias become king? Or will a worthier champion, a mighty Seer perhaps, be the one to finally unite all of the Exiles of Yvermist?
