Welcome to the mystical fantasy world that is The Edge of Darkness. Within
this ancient alternate reality lies a vast medieval realm know as Doraak,
filled with adventure, danger and wonders beyond imagination. Almost every
type of terrain conceivable can be found within Doraak's ever expanding
boundaries..from the icy arctic wastelands to the mine-filled Tahrenian
mountain ranges of the dwarves. There are the sprawling grasslands of the
west and the great barren deserts of the far south. There are numerous
islands in the northern and southern oceans and there are the measureless
swamps of the east. There are all these regions, plus hundreds more just
waiting to be explored. And throughout all of these lands lie countless
ancient forests, some of which are bright and pleasant, yet others are damp,
dark and perilous. In this realm, any path can lead to discovery,
adventure...or death!
 
These wild, rugged lands are only recently beginning to yield to the
influences of civilized society, as the many humanoid races of Doraak
struggle to establish small pockets of civilization amongst the far-reaching
and untamed wilderness. There are a number of cities and villages that can
provide safe haven to a weary adventurer. However, even these seemingly
peaceful towns can offer far more than just a good night's rest, to the
inquisitive or careless explorer.
 
In spite of humankind's best efforts, there are still dark forces at work
within Doraak, which seek to undermine all that has been accomplished. Both
the minions of evil and the misguided good lurk everywhere throughout the
realms, and beyond, building strength and patiently waiting for their time
to come again...
 
So come and test your might, your skill and your cunning against all that
The Edge of Darkness has in store...for the world of Doraak awaits its next
savior...or victim!
