The Crimson Shields of Hope

The Game

Here you can find the latest posts in this game.

Current Events

The Shields have set off to rescue some children, apparently sold to some sinister followers of Ga'al. But all is not as it seems. The children have gone of their own accord, intent on becoming heroes, and the Ga'al worshippers follow the Lord of Domination no longer; they now seek the Tower of Boydos, intent upon taking the mad sleeping demigod as their new deity. What chaos awaits within the tower of entropy? Can even the Crimson Shields of Hope survive the dreams of a god gone mad?
