To all intents and purposes you're an unscrupulous bounty hunter and mercenary - but the search for your sister takes you back to your roots...
The world Antaloor changed when Aziraal, the god of war, was slain in the battle of all battles long ago. The hordes of Orcs lost their divine leader and were forced to withdraw to the southern wastelands. Now, thousands of years later, the location of Aziraal's tomb is still unknown, well hidden by other gods who did not dare to entrust the secret to mere mortals. A silent war has now begun and it will soon ignite the fires that will lead to the holy crusade of the Orcs. However, the real danger lies elsewhere - a powerful force is moving silently - weaving a secret plot of fear and destruction. Its ultimate goal is that only one of the Two Worlds shall remain.
The hero, a bounty hunter, searches throughout Antaloor for her. His quests take him to the far-off reaches of the continent. Constantly on the alert for a clue as to her whereabouts, he keeps his eyes and ears open during his travels. The mercenary jobs he gets are not just for collecting information – he also receives gold for these tasks and he must have gold to continue his search. However, it’s not always easy to find tasks that pay - he even has to gain a reputation with certain groups before they’ll even think of entrusting a tricky task to him. After many weary months of searching, he finally gets his first clue - a mysterious letter that tells him to make for the mountainous region of the far north. As luck would have it, he has also heard of a possible job in the village of Komorin in Thalmont - and that’s on his route - so it’s the open road for him again.
The villagers in Komorin can also count themselves lucky that they’ve actually found a mercenary to help them with their problem - most of the young and capable men have gone to help fight the Orcs in the south. The Thalmont government hasn’t helped much either - officialdom says it can’t spare the time for other problems when they have rebels to deal with... Thus begins the story of Two Worlds - one mercenary arrives alone in Thalmont, a wild mountainous region totally unfamiliar to him. Will he succeed in finding his sister.[2]
