An unstoppable swordsman rough a exterior but a heart of gold, The fearless, intelligent and beautiful princess. The evil and cunning bad guys, and a disembodied 2000 year old philosopher in a clay jug. Epic battles, some fought in the air on the backs of giant war eagles, the panoramic landscapes of the Sundered Realm, Prince Rann's graphic tortures. All the great ingredients of this fine sci-fi.
