Master vanished three months ago, called away to heal a duke's cursed heir. She should have returned by now. Instead, ancient evil seeps from the castle walls, spreading like poison through the countryside. Livestock lie mutilated in the fields, travelers disappear from dark roads. Creatures that should not be stalk the night. You're all that stands between salvation and slaughter.
Wield forgotten glyphs carved in wood and bone. Call upon elk spirits to gore your enemies. Beseech raven spirits to strike from beyond. Bind corrupted beasts with grasping roots. Summon wind spirits that cleanse tainted flesh from bone.
But glyphs alone won't save you.
Every tower placement is a tactical gamble. You must venture close to danger to build your defenses. No hiding behind walls—your own reach determines where you can place towers. Move too far and leave gaps in your line. Stay too close and be torn to shreds.
The corruption evolves with each defeat. Rotting hares give way to massive infested hogs. Mutated birds circle overhead, immune to earthbound magic. Two-headed abominations strike with doubled fury. Each wave demands new strategies, new risks.
Ancient rituals unlock powerful allies. Transform sacred willows into conduits for ancestral defenders. Channel forgotten burial grounds to raise wolf-warriors from soil and bone. But rituals require perfect concentration—one wrong move breaks the spell.
Master the delicate dance of risk and reward. Push forward to place crucial defenses. Fall back when overwhelmed. Every step matters when malevolent forces hunt you directly.
The war horns lie silent. The church offers empty prayers. Only the ancient ways remain—written in blood, carved in stone, whispered by spirits through cursed ground.
Will you master them before the corruption overwhelms you?
