* Story *

Many years have passed since you slayed D'sparil, and even more since you defeated Morcalavin.
Everything seemed to be going well until one day, while walking along the docks, an intense earthquake struck the coasts, knocking down and collapsing everything around you.
As you rise to survey the damage caused by the quake, you notice a giant tower rising from the depths of the ocean on the horizon, where the Shalese Islands are located.
With your trusty Elven wand in hand, you board a boat and head toward the tower to investigate its mysterious appearance.

As you approach your destination, you notice that the only way in is through a passage between some rocks, with hanging skulls decorating the structures.
Just as you're about to reach the gates, another earthquake strikes. This time, you see what appears to be glass emerging from the water, even growing taller than the tower itself.
The trembling stops, and you realize a dome has covered the entire island. It seems the only way out is to go in.

The gates open, letting out an echo of a very familiar yet slightly off laugh. You are overwhelmed by a sense of dread, as though you have already been through this before, but you have no choice: you must push forward.
You grip your wand tighter and enter through the gates, wondering what horrors lie ahead.
