Quest's End Description

Here in the conclusion of The Broken Key the location of the fourth and last coat of arms from The Crypt has been located. Unfortunately it lies beyond the Moran Tribes' border. That inconsequential detail will hardly deter Riyan and the rest from traveling there in the hopes of uncovering the last segment of the Key which they hope will open the King's Hoard.

Unbeknownst to our heroes, more people have begun to learn of their quest and have gravitated to Quillim in search of answers. Their once peaceful village is soon to be torn asunder as Hoard crazed men search the surrounding hills for the entrance. Each vying to be the one to find it.

Should they find the segment and escape unscathed from The Moran Tribes, what chance do they have of gaining the entrance to the Hoard and opening it with the hills swarming with men who will stop at nothing to possess the treasure it holds!
