Quick notes

  • Sareth follows a mission from his teacher. Phenrig sends the apprentice to Stonehelm, where Menelag is pursuing the Skull of Shadows.
  • Leanna and Xana guide in different ways. Leanna is a wizard involved with the expedition, while Xana is bound to Sareth as a supernatural guide.
  • The Skull links several agendas. Menelag’s expedition and Arantir’s pursuit intersect around the same relic.
  • Campaign names differ from multiplayer roles. The story cast belongs to Sareth’s single-player adventure.
