The City of All-Worlds

Bartolamus the Sorcerer is dying. His days of adventuring and forging new words of magic are firmly behind him. Or so it seems.

As his trembling apprentice approaches his bedside with a silver whistle in his right hand and a tarnished bell in his left, the ancient wizard shares his history. He also reveals his plans for one last quest: an attempt to re-open the doors to the barred and mysterious City of All-Worlds, far away and spoken of only in whispers.

For the locked City of All-Worlds is rumored to hold a portal at its center that could link other worlds to this one. A portal of immense power and danger. A gateway that once made the world of Subaridon a vibrant and thriving land.

Will Bartolamus the Sorcerer return to the City and return Subaridon to its former glory? Or is this all simply the raving of a dying madman? Blow the silver whistle and ring the tarnished bell, and see for yourself...
