This is the Age of Light.

The sprawling continent of Summerland is a place where legends and heroes have thrived for generations. Many notable realms make up the composition. At its heart lies the capital, Glorydale, radiating hope and justice. The underground fortress of Dawnholde, ruled by the High King, stands as a symbol of strength and unity. Though situated at the distant end of the continent, far from Glorydale and Dawnholde, Saintsburgh stands as the true beacon of heroism. Summerland is defended by various heroic groups, including the prestigious Mystic Knights and Guardians.

The latter group was responsible for the pacification of the Keepers of Summerland, now known collectively as "Sleepers". The Guardians know that Keepers can never truly die and destroying their Hearts merely banishes them but in time allows them to physically remanifest themselves again. That’s why the Guardians rendered the Sleepers dormant by defeating them all and subsequently magically binding them to the land, rendering them dormant. This way their resurgence can be prevented and Summerland be protected from their malevolence. The Wardens have been tasked to keep watch over the Sleepers and have constructed dungeons around their hearts to contain them.

However, the Age of Light is drawing to a close.

Recent unexplained events have rekindled the power of the Sleepers. Rumors spread that the reawakening of the Sleepers was triggered by an unknown event, possibly originating from a distant continent. Keepers across Summerland awaken from their long slumber, shattering their prisons and leaving destruction in their wake.

The Guardians, once a formidable force, have dwindled in number. The remaining Guardians—the Warrior King, the Mage Lord, and the Witch Queen are all that remain.

In addition, a shadowy force known as the White Horde holds dominion over a single realm, led by the ancient and fearsome Vampire King. Despite countless attempts by heroes to displace them from the Silent Plains, the White Horde remains unchallenged, and rumors of their growing aggression abound.

The remaining Wardens are trying their utmost best to contain the Sleepers still dormant from their prisons. However, a collision course between Summerland's heroes and factions against the forces of darkness seems to be inevitable. The Mystic Knights, champions trained by their renowned Warrior King, must defend Glorydale and Dawnholde. The Samurai clans of Mystwater, steeped in tradition, rally to protect their homeland. The giants of Flameburgh, wielding immense strength, are preparing to launch an early campaign against the forces of darkness.

Meanwhile, at the periphery of Summerland in the realm of Ambergarde, another Keeper with a dreaded reputation wakes. One whose true name is known but avoided spoken out due to fears of empowering him. The Warden of Ambergarde knows with his waking a storm will soon be upon Summerland… a Blue Tempest.

Originally starting out as a map pack it slowly turned into a 15-level campaign that I never gotten around to finishing it till now. Most levels are pre-Unearth actually but now with the latest KeeperFX official script version. The playing experience was aimed to be close to the original gameplay but I have included a number of changes. For instance, some Creatures are rebalanced so they may have, hopefully, increased utility. Although it starts off relatively easy the overall difficulty level is at least that of the Deeper Dungeons. But at no point it should be impossible. If you do encounter issues do reach out to me!
