A hush fell
across the darkened room of the council assembly. Many shadows, indistinct
in the feeble torchlight, leaned forward anticipating the next few words
that would come from the figure standing in the middle of the room.
"This
evil is a maw that has opened, stealing life from your city," he
said.
Gasps and
whispers turned into panicked shouts from the assembly, men and women
who just a few weeks ago had lived normal, peaceful lives. "Then
where does the life go?… And what does it feed?"
Elminster
looked at the leader of the council, and with a sense of gravity and drama,
gave the crowd their answer.
"A new
Pool of Radiance in Myth Drannor."
Pool
of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor is the first Dungeons and Dragons game
set in the Forgotten Realms to use fully utilized 3D character animation
to bring the world to a level of realism never seen before.
The
world is presented in a richly rendered three-quarter, isometric view
of the environment, with beautifully hand-drawn landscapes and structures,
populated by realistically 3D rendered monsters, NPCs, and character models.
Pool
of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor begins as an adventure for up to four
characters. As the game begins, the player learns that the great sage
Elminster has sent a group of heroes to investigate the rumors of a new
pool of radiance in Myth Drannor. The player then finds himself swept
up into a quest versus a mysterious cult and the growing power of the
pool's influence. Along the way, the heroes battle horrible creatures,
meet new allies, and discover some of the lost grandeur of Myth Drannor.
However, time is not on their side, and the party must work quickly to
quell the growing tide of evil.
