Description:
You are a monstrous creature who has just escaped from slavery. Freedom is all you desired, but when your past is revealed, your fate will be forever changed. And you will find out that the curse of the beast was only the first shadow cast upon your soul.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure you have the latest patch before playing (run Game Update). The third map is particularly vulnerable to bugs that have been corrected by patches, including the defeat-hero quest in saved games.

Main changes in this version:
1. Resolved an issued related to AI behavior which might prevent red heroes from appearing on map 3 at the correct time;
2. Added brown border guard and keymaster's tent on map 3, in order to prevent a certain quest from being skipped;
3. On map 2, added mage guild to starting town and modified bonus options;
4. Changed difficult levels appearing when selecting saved games (no effect on gameplay).

Author's note:
