Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor is a turn-based party RPG set in the Forgotten Realms. Build a band of heroes, descend into the haunted elven ruins of Myth Drannor, and use tactical positioning, spellcraft and steel to stop a dracolich from corrupting the realm.

DESCEND INTO THE RUINS TO SAVE FAERÛN

Malevolence is afoot in the Forgotten Realms world: a new Pool of Radiance has been discovered beneath the city of New Phlan, and a wave of pure evil now emanates from it, cursing all it touches. Answer Elminster’s call, descend into the ruined Elven city of Myth Drannor and stop the sorceress and the dracolich before they turn the power of the Pool against the realm.

PREPARE YOUR PARTY AND FIGHT

Create up to four heroes and recruit two more along the way, for a party of six. The game features the Dungeons & Dragons rules, with different races, classes and spells. Players may choose between the genuine turn-based style of role-playing and a more action-focused, timed-turn style of play. The optional turn timer makes for more engaging, higher-pressure fights.
