INTRODUCTION
Amalur has plunged into chaos. A shadow has fallen over the forests, fields, and mountains of the
Faelands. The once peaceful Fae of the Winter Court have marched to war, threatening all mortal
life. New magic surges through the world and a great and terrible power rises in the east. The
Fateweavers have predicted an inescapable doom for all living creatures of Amalur. But, as all seems
lost, a hero has returned from the dead - a hero with no path written in Fate’s grand tapestry.
Become the fateless hero, harness the power of the Reckoning, and decide the future of Amalur!

overall health limit increases.
