A Darkheart Story From the introduction: You traveled far to reach the realm of Northdale, home of the Dark King, Hrothgar the Red. Since years he schemed against the lands across the sea; the brutal assassination of Turgal, king of the dwarves of Karia, would not be the last of his crimes. To prevent war, the Council of Eocmor gathered a secret party to accompany Uric, son of Turgal, on his mission to enter Northdale and put an end to the life of Hrothgar. But alas! The journey starts ill-fated, as a vicious storm crashes the ship on the shores of Shemarq, the rocky plains inhabited by outcasts!
