PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
A graphically brilliant entry into the RPG genre, from the creators
of the award-winning Descent and FreeSpace series, Summoner crafts a
unique look and complex story set in an original fantasy setting. Summoners
have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as saviors
and feared as destroyers. With rings crafted by the ancient Khosani,
the gifted can call forth demons, dragons, and elementals, but only
the strongest can control the forces they unleash. To save their kingdom
from annihilation, players must journey to the lost empire of Ikaemos,
the island monastery of Iona, and the forest labyrinth of Liangshan,
questing for the Summoners' rings.
