Story:
The game is set in the world of fantasy, inhabited by elves, dwarves, undead ones and other creatures. The universe of the game is large indeed. It consists of a number of separate worlds. Each one has several states, which represent isolated economic and political systems. The Hero is able to transit from one world to another through special space Gates, called Portals. His main activity is trade - that is buying goods in one town and selling or exchanging them in another. For this purpose, the Hero has got a special item - a Magic Sack of Monroke. Thanks to it, he can easily carry a vast amount of goods.

Much has been undertaken, before the Hero can find more advantageous trade routes and get significant profit. On his way, he is going to meet with robbers and bandits, warlocks and undead ones, tax collectors and envious competitors, hired assassins and wandering warriors. It is easy to guess, that every such meeting will hardly end peacefully. To feel sure and ready for any unexpected accident and adventure, the Hero may choose one of the given ways: he may develop and master his fighting habits and become a Warrior, or he may acquire some magic skills and dwell into mysterious and strange world of the Secret Learning. Regardless of the choice, there is a plenty of schools and teachers, ready to share their knowledge in exchange of a good sum of money.

As developing his skills and habits, the Hero gets a chance to join one of the Guilds - mighty unions that beside other advantages encourage their members to develop and perfect themselves.

While traveling and trading, fighting and gaining experience, the Hero gradually comprehends the very essence of the Universe. The whole history of the world-creation and the way to change it is revealed to him. The Hero participates in the eternal battle between the Good and the Evil...
