If thou be strong and noble, a mighty quest awaits thee!

After a millennium of peace, the Dark Lord Terarin hast freed herself and stolen the Golden Seal, opening Pandora's Passage to the evil dimension. Now, hoards of fearsome monsters roam the land.

Come! Follow in the footsteps of the mighty Iason and defeat the Dark Lord. Only you, the Miracle Warrior, can retrun the Seal to its rightful place.

The Legend of Iason

Long ago in a land of swords and sorcery, a stumbling sheperd lad named Iason unknowingly opened the Pandora Passage. Through this gateway all manner of evil creatures were let loose upon the Five Lands under the claws of the Dark Lord Terarin.

As Iason grew into a man, he watched Terarin's nightmare army devastate the Five Lands. Since it was he who had unleashed this evil, he took a vow to defeat Terarin and restore peace to his world.

Iason trained with the White Monks, learning the ways of the King's sword... and the magical dangers of Terarin's evil hoard. To help him on his quest, the monks gave him magical arms and armor.

After a long and valiant battle, Iason defeated Terarin and drove her into another dimension. Then, his armor glowing gold, Iason resealed the Pandora Passage.

The people of the Five Lands made him a legend. Before he went back to the life of a sheperd, Iason made a prophecy that one day Terarin would return, and that four brave warriors would awake to meet her evil challenge!

Art Thou The Miracle Warrior?

There was a time not long ago when Terarin escaped from her entrapment and, with a howl of rage that shook the world, once again unleashed her terror upon the land.

You watched the Five Lands suffer under her ruthless campaign of evil as you wandered from country to country. Then, one fine, cloudless day, you wanderings led you to a castle...where you learned of your true destiny.

The blood of Iason flowed in your veins. But were you the one fated to bring an end to Terarin's evil? Only time would tell as you learned the ways of magic and the sword!
