Game Description

Civilization is doomed: Atlantis has fallen, the Ice Ages have begun, and the elder races have foreseen their own extinction. Now iron and steel are worth more than silver or gold, and human slaves are often cheaper at auction than are chariot horses, but a single book of lost wizard spells might be bartered for a great palace or host of mercenaries, and bold reavers can plunder fortunes to become as rich as kings. Behold the world of Primeval Thule at the end of an age undreamed of!

Our story shall begin in the gladiatorial arena of Ikath, an ancient city-state upon the shores of the inner sea, where priests offer blood sacrifices to idols of dark gods, and men and women mingle with the last of the Atlanteans, serpent-people, and mummified necromancers. Beyond the walls are vast jungles, full of savage tribes, prehistoric beasts, and forgotten ruins.

You were drugged: you tasted the Black Lotus, which brings forth maddening visions and nightmares. Perhaps your enemies had you poisoned, or perhaps instead you willingly sought out the lotus flower in order to sate your curiosity, or your addiction, or your lust to learn arcane secrets. You dream for hours, or days, or longer still, until you suddenly awaken in an arena, garbed as a gladiator slave, forced to battle for the entertainment of the crowds that jeer above you!

Will you perish in the fighting-pit of Ikath? Or will you rise out of slavery to become a conqueror?

Survive, escape, adventure far and wide, face fierce primordial monsters, tame exotic creatures and claim fabulous treasures, outwit your adversaries or slay all of those that oppose you, and someday you might live to tread the jeweled thrones of the Young Earth beneath your bare and booted and sandalled feet.
