Long ago, in a land ravaged by strife, an ancient race of mages crafted the ultimate weapon to destroy their enemies and end all wars. They called it the Aryx Orthian, the Scourge of the Worlds. Hidden safely for hundreds of years, the Scourge is now sought by a new swarm of darkness threatening to unleash its secrets. A grief stricken cleric defies his own holy order to search out the Scourge of Worlds in its hiding place deep within the lifeless wastes of the sea of dust–desiring to seize this key to incredible power for himself. To save the world, three fearless heroes–Redgar the human warrior, Lidda the rogue halfling, and Mialee the elf wizard–must embark on a treacherous quest and choose between honor and evil, between life and death. With a secretive set of druids accosting them at every turn and a mysterious divine apparition with her own hidden agenda, they will need all of their skills, wit and magic to prevent the release of the Scourge of Worlds.

But the choice is not theirs. It is the viewers’...

As the tale unfolds, viewers are presented with a series of alternatives that give them the opportunity to choose the best course of action. With more than 990 possible story combinations and four alternative outcomes, this interactive computer-animated fantasy delivers a DVD experience like no other, thanks to new technology–DVDn, or DVD to the nth degree. DVDn combines the movie and game genres to allow viewers to choose their own adventure. For the first adventure, the creators of DVDn, DKP Effects chose Dungeons & Dragons, the benchmark of role playing game excellence for nearly 30 years.
