You are Corin, a young apprentice recruited to the Tower
three years ago. After much tedious menial labor (and in your
off time, magical instruction) you have reached the level at
which you have the opportunity to become a Journeyman mage. You easily complete the routine magic tests, and now the final obstacle is before you. You are bound and locked in a prison
cell and must escape to prove your skill. But upon successfully completing the test, you walk out of the cell and realize
something has gone wrong! There is no smiling Master Wizard waiting to congratulate you outside the door...

As you explore the silent Tower you discover piles of bodies. Bodies of your friends and teachers. The floor resonates with
the clink of faraway metal boots. The Tower has been taken
over while you were in the cell.

But why? And why is there no conquering army?
