From the back of the book: Explore THE PLAINS OF HOWLING DARKNESS, where barbaric nomads attack all who enter their dealdly wilderness. Where legendary prizes await the adventurer who can release the High King from his frozen tomb. Where a city of ghosts guards the Shadar's treasure vaults. Where the secret of immortality is contained in the ancient evil of Kaschuf the Deathless... Fantastic quests and hideous dangers await travellers in this savage land. You can choose to be a warrior, using weapons and combat skills to defeat opponents. Or a mystical mage, skilled in sorcery. Or a clever rogue, acquiring wealth and powerful amulets by theft and trickery.
