Shadows Of War: Evil Alliance Part 1
Quest to Defend Dage's Underworld from Malgor
After the ShadowLord Malgor’s plot to control the ley lines failed, he retreated. Or so we thought, until Dage the Evil received a message... and an offer of alliance. But Dage was not deceived by Malgor's empty promises, and now he needs your help to defend his realm. Because if Dage won't willingly add his Underworld minions to the ShadowFlame army, then Malgor intends to TAKE them.

The Story So Far...
The Queen of Monsters is dead, but Evil lives on... and the shadows she cast over our world continue to spread. A new overlord controls her castle, and if you aren't fighting FOR Malgor, the leader of the ShadowFlame Army, he wants to make sure you'll never fight again. His army has invaded our world, his minions seek to turn you over to him, and if you're going to stop him, you'll need two things, FAST: allies + power.
After all of the chaos the Queen of Monsters wreaked, it is clear that you cannot sit back and deal with smaller threats to the world. That means we need to start gathering two things NOW: allies and power.
You have already added several new allies to your party:
- Varga, the Goddess of War
- Teja, the Pirate Queen of the Southern Seas
- Jinx, the dimension-hopping Kittarian Cat Burglar
- Mahou, the Spirit Mage
