Talamadh. The World Harp. Possess it and yours is the power of Heaven and Earth. The player may strum harmony into existence–as did the Bards of the Stoneholding for generations. But now the World Harp belongs to an evil lord bent on world domination and destruction. A broken world’s only hope is a young bard on the run across a war-torn landscape in a desperate quest to find a princely warrior before Talamadh sings out the final chord that plunges his world into eternal darkness.
