Drake. For it was Drake who defeated the Shadowking and raised Stonekeep back from the depths of the earth itself. Unless you help, this happy ending may not come to pass.
one above all
Stonekeep is the second part of this legend. Thera’s
Awakening, the novella included in this package, is the first
part and you should read it for background. Reading Thera’s Awakening is not necessary to help Drake in his quest, but Stonekeep will be more enjoyable if you do.
Thank you for purchasing Stonekeep! It’s been a long road and we hope that you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
