A god-emperor imprisoned in his tomb for centuries. A battle preserved in time to be endlessly fought. Chambers full of treasures, traps and puzzles in a massive grave sealed from the outside world… until now. Zelgrak III may have slumbered all this time since the Ritual of Angnamer, but the God of Death is far from being dead. Find out the secrets and fight the horrible creatures and perils that lie under the sands of the Plains of Sorrow. Will you escape the fury of the last Zelian emperor, who seeks revenge from a most painful betrayal? Or will you remain forever lost in the timeless prison beyond the Pillars of Darkness?
