About the Story

It is a bad time for the free people. The forces of the dark lord, Sauron, are swarming over the world. But there is hope. At great risk, a wizard and his ranger companion smuggled information out of Sauron's fortress which could be of great use to the men in the south.

Realizing that Sauron would stop them if they tried to take any normal paths, the two men decided to take a path that the dark lord would never think of watching ... because the way is more terrible than his army! The wizard and ranger were never heard from again.

However, the wizard left a copy of the information with the bartender at the Main Hall, telling him that if he was not heard from to give it to a tough and trustworthy adventurer to take it to the men of the south. Thus, the bartender is sending you on this mission!

This adventure is part of the Eamon universe. Like all Eamon adventures, it is an RPG-style game, mostly using a two-word parser. Because Eamon is a modular system, you may bring a character and equipment from other adventures into this one.

Editorial Reviews

EamonAG

The setting may sound familiar to you. It is from the Lord of the Rings. And like the book, the action doesn’t stop. The monsters are mean and plentiful, the way through the mines is treacherous and the clues/hints are very, very subtle.
