About the game
Quest number 16: is your party ready for Twilight Souls? A bizarre eclipse has revealed a hidden land, one suspended far above the surface. Inhabited by all manner of strange beings, it is governed by the Lightkeepers, an ancient society founded by a sun deity to watch over the world below and ensure that the light remains for all. But all that is thrown into chaos as a new danger has arrived with dark powers that threaten to devour the light of every soul in this realm, sending it plummeting to the ground and the world into perpetual darkness. You must rise to the challenge, Champion. Or we may all fall with you. —description from the publisher
