Depths of Peril Site Update

Soldak Entertainment has updated their official Depths of Peril website with a new short story entitled “Forgotten Cave” and details for the game’s seven races. A snip from the short story:

(Is it dangerous?) Damek leaned on his mahogany staff imbued with runes, while smoothing the folds in his gray travel robe. His chestnut hair lay flat from perspiration. He hadn’t wanted the task of finding and destroying the source of the dark elves black sky magic. The old magician died while Sven lay unconscious, both swords still sheathed. Damek found him while escorting his student, Brenna, to Forfarshire. He wasn’t as strong and experienced in magic as the old magician, but there wasn’t time to find another. The Council of Magic had determined a mage was the only one capable of stopping the dark elves. Now the council was in Forfarshire, defending the city in a crumbling stalemate. The two human mages, a barbarian, and a new member, a lumen, were all that stood in the way of the dark elves lust for conquest and domination over all. When Damek climbed the nets of his father’s fishing boat as a child, he never dreamed the fate of the world would rest on his shoulders.

(Not any more dangerous than the desert.) Sven rubbed the tip of a scar that ran down his face from brow to chin. (May be some beasts in there, but we’ll manage. We need the time we’ll save.) He led them into the cave, peering from time to time at the ancient magician’s map.
