The intrepid band of Questers, led by elven lord Vidar, set off once again on their search for the Sword of Asnagar.

Further details

The Questers search for the Sword of Asnagar, the only thing that can free them from the tyranny of the evil Lord Darkness.

Joining Vidar on the Quest is Dean the dwarf, Amazon warrior princess Penthiselea, Sam the human and Amis the Chosen One.

The Questers are saved from near-certain death by a strong and charming loner, who goes by the name of Byorthnoth the Brave. But is Byorthnoth quite what he seems - and does it really matter when he has such lovely hair?

Meanwhile, Lord Darkness is back from the Void and has discovered that he's lost his immortality.
