an Adventurer.
After each perilous dungeon expedi-
tion, you have stepped out into the sun-
light to return to your home. But what do
you know of the green countryside, the
farmers’ golden fields, and the land
beyond? What of your town, friends and

quiet little home town of Threshold is

beginning.
The horses are ready; dawn is break-
ing. Whither are we bound?
