Description: |
Avernum is a trilogy of fantasy role-playing games set in an enormous series of caverns and tunnels far below the surface of the world.
The surface is ruled by the Empire, which controls everything with an iron fist. All magic is restricted. Fantastic creatures like dragons and giants are killed on sight. And all who don't fit in, the misfits, the rebels, those with incorrect opinions, are sent to Avernum, an enormous underground prison. There, they live out the rest of their lives in the cold and dark.
This trilogy tells the story of the Avernites: how they struggled to form a nation, throw off the yoke of the Empire, and return to the surface world. |
