Product Description Return to Krondor is the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling RPG of all time, Betrayal at Krondor. It is set in Raymond E. Feist's world of Midkemia, and will offer many of the key RPG elements found in the original while simultaneously incorporating the latest gaming technology.
During the quest, players assume the roles of five main characters, Squire James, a reformed thief; the Keshian sorceress Jazhara; William Condoin, son of the magician Pug; a roughhewn Warrior-Priest of Ishap named Brother Solon; and Kendaric, the reluctant wizard whose magic is the group's only hope of victory.
The story revolves around the disappearance of the Ishapian Church's most sacred relic, the Tear of the Gods. A band of ruthless pirates - in the employ of Sidi, a shadowy, half-mad sorcerer - attempt to seize the Tear from the Ishapian treasure ship; but in the process, they sink the ship accidentally, sending the Tear to the bottom of the Bitter Sea. The characters' efforts to recover the Tear inadvertently draw them into a violent, three-sided battle over the relic. Their quest leads them from the dizzying heights of Krondor's Palace, through the twisting tunnels of the sewers beneath the city, and into the haunted depths of a temple dedicated to an evil as ancient as the gods themselves.
