The Dam of Vaeloran

The mage who kept watch over the dam of Vaeloran lies scorched at your feet, gasping out his last words: twenty-four hours. Behind him the ancient rampart of hardened magic, the wall that has kept fire, earth, water, and air apart for millennia, is cracking apart. Flames dance beside icicles, the ground bucks, and the air shrieks with raw creation.

Whoever tore the fissures open did it on purpose. Deep inside the nexus, De Oergeest der Vier Winden, born of all four elements at once, has shaped itself a body from magma, ice, stone, and storm. It does not want to mend the dam but to bring it down entirely, so the elements fuse into a single untamable force and sweep away everything below.

You race through four warped domains: guttering fields of embers, a hall of drifting ice, corridors that tilt as the earth breathes, and a storm that rips you off your feet. In each domain you restore an anchor stone, fight or outwit creatures of pure element, and find the keys that seal the wards shut again.

Then the truth surfaces: the dam can only be sealed from within, where De Oergeest der Vier Winden waits. Complete the four wards and the core opens, and there the climax turns, a battle on collapsing rubble above a maelstrom of chaos while the clock ticks down its final minutes. Succeed, and the balance falls back into place. Fail, and the four winds seal their pact, and that pact knows no world.
