Against the Rise of Terror The heroes finally have the tools they need to stopthe Whispering Tyrant, but the lich-king has not been idle. Why has he devotedso much attention to an isolated border fortress, right when divinity seems tobe within his grasp? A quest to discover the tyrant's secrets plunges the heroesinto a deadly race through a fecund forest, into fearsome dungeons built longbefore the Shining Crusade, and between spiteful villains harboring ancientgrudges. Old enemies stand in the heroes' way yet again, but unexpected alliescan help turn the rising tide of death and despair. If the heroes arevictorious, they can seize the only chance to deny the Whispering Tyrant hisgreatest weapon and strike him down before he gains the power of a god.
