Time and again Kalran turns as ages come and go. For a new dawn rises in the eighth age with new ideas and bloody conflict as the wind of fate howls through the four continents. But our story looks to one of them. Arkalion, a northen nation where technology, magic and spirits are on an equilibrium; the south is a desolate wasteland where the forces of the dead bright lord are held back by the nation of Byzalem.

Our story looks to Kurgren, a bitter and weary half-Orc mercenary whose life changed, for better and worse, when he finds a strange orb. Follow his adventure as he meets new allies, foes, and find that their is a greater evil beneath the peaceful land.

Arkalion: Tales of Water and Iron

Kurgren double checks his equipment's, making sure his gambeson and weapons are fully repaired from the previous battle, before look to the rest.


The rest of the groups quickly checks theirs, Erhardt carrying the bag containing Sofia and Soloman equipment's along with a gambeson and mace with buckler for the survivor, as Delphine and Haden enter. Both wearing light blue gambesons with Delphine armed with a crossbow and a smallsword and padded stockings while Haden wore light crossbows on his backs with his belt sheathing a shortsword and dragon pistol, with padded leggings over his pants.


They then lead them to a small alley and opens the grate, telling them to go, and Angelo look at them one more time and salutes.


All of them nod back and climbs down where Haden tells them to follow him.


They quickly moves through the sewer, Ardent casting nightvision for him, the Elves, Zarad, and Louise, through the tunnel, silent except for a few squeaks of rats or the sound of rushing sewage, till Haden signals a halt near a turn.


"What do your dwarven eyes see?" Haden ask to Erhardt.


Erhardt took pride in his nightvision, which differs from Orcs, Goblins and Vardskuls, where darkness is no different from bright and moonlight might as well be sunlight.


There Erhardt saw a gate at the end on a raised platform with five Tiefling swordsmen, wearing a hauberk with goggles, shield and sword. Then behind he saw five Duergars armed with blunderbuss, falx, and cuirass.


Erhardt relays the information back and they quickly form a plan.


The aides and Solaina then pull out their range weapon and take aim as Louise cast the spell. While Kurgren and the group readies to charge.


A dome of silence then envelopes the area, by Kurgren's guess, and the aides' fire.


Each of the shots hit their mark, killing the tieflings while producing no noise, and Kurgren, his group, and Haden, Piper and Zarad, quickly charge while the Duergars are stunned.


Kurgren throws a sun bomb as Ardent cast a protection spell, stopping the light from blinding them, and charge. The Duergars and Tieflings staggering back or falling down.


Black and white blood paints the wall as Kurgren smashed the head of a Tiefling before swinging at a Duergar.


The Duergar staggered, his lower jaw flew off upon impact, before he pulled out his falx and charge, unfazed.


Kurgren quickly dodges a wild swing and swing at his arm, though only causing a deep bruise due to his underbody armor, when Haden quickly goes behind and stabs the duergar shoulder joint, giving Kurgren time to pull out his pistol and quickly fires at the duergar eye point-blank. The duergar's brain and skull painted the wall behind before the body fell.


Erhardt then blocks and hook another duergar falx holding arm, then breaks it with a sharp bend, causing her to scream before throwing her down to the river, hitting the water as the heavy armor seals her fate.


Ardent parries the duergar attack and knocks him off balance. Then retaliate with a slash to his face and Louise finished him with a firebolt.


They then check if anyone was injured before Erhardt pulls out the c4, cuts the pieces needed, and paste it on the gate joints then signals everyone to get back.


All of them then quickly walk back where they came and, once ready, Erhardt pressed the detonation button.


With flying bits of iron, the gates burst open.


Louise then dispel the dome as all of them enters and ready themselves for the main attack.
