500 Years ago, 4244 AR, the powerful sorcerer Belcora Haruvex is defeated by a band of Heroes called the Roseguard. The heroes caught wind that the daughter of the exiled Haruvex family had returned to the Isles of Kortos, and she was constructing a strange inland light house near Absalom. The heroes investigate the lighthouse and are attacked by Belcora. After defeating the sorcerer, seal the lighthouse, and mourn the death of Otari, one of the groups members, the party retires. They found the city of Otari, named after their fallen ally, and settle not far from Gauntlight.
500 years have passed, and it's the year 4721 AR. Gauntlight has remained quiet since the Rosegaurd defeated her. It seems that tranquility will not last for the little town of Otari. Evil, once again, stirs inside the walls of Gauntlight. The city will require the aid of heroes to investigate and root out the evil once and for all.
