Risen's page

  1. Faranga

    You were a nameless stowaway aboard a ship caught in a terrible storm. When a Titan rose from the sea, Inquisitor Mendoza failed to stop it and escaped by magic. You washed ashore on Faranga with another survivor, Sara. Inland, ancient ruins had burst from the ground, bringing dangerous creatures into an island already under siege.

  2. Harbour Town

    You found Faranga divided between Mendoza's Inquisition and Don Esteban, the former ruler driven out of Harbour Town. The mages also lived under the Inquisition's authority. Your allegiance depended on you: you could serve the Don, become an Inquisition warrior, or train as a mage. Whichever path you took, you became involved in Mendoza's search beneath the volcano.

  3. The Crystal Discs

    You learned that Mendoza needed five crystal discs to open an ancient temple inside the volcano. Your search drew you into Patty's hunt for treasure left by her father, the pirate Captain Steelbeard. You gathered the scattered keys and unlocked the entrance, then accompanied the expedition underground. Mendoza believed the power hidden there could help him fight the Titans devastating the world beyond the island.

  4. Ursegor's Prison

    You reached Ursegor, a Titan Lord whose spirit remained imprisoned alongside a Fire Titan. You learned that humanity's banishment of the gods had freed the other Titans. This captive Titan's presence had protected Faranga from the surrounding storms. Mendoza wanted to take control of it, even though releasing it would strip the island of that protection.

  5. The Titan Armour

    You freed Ursegor's spirit from the curse binding him to his remains. To stop Mendoza, you needed the equipment of a Titan Lord. You returned to the island's ancient ruins and recovered the scattered pieces of Ursegor's armour. Armed for the confrontation, you went back into the volcano, where the Inquisitor had pursued his plan despite its cost.

  6. The Fire TitanThe ending

    You confronted and killed Mendoza, then took his magical Ocular so you could see the Titan. Wearing the Titan Lord's armour, you defeated the Fire Titan and kept it imprisoned. Faranga survived, but other Titans still ravaged the mainland. Afterward, you discussed using the armour and Ocular against them with Patty. She insisted on finding her father and his treasure before doing anything else.
