Story:
The cave paintings tell an ancient story about a ruthless leader, who slaughtered all the tribes and burned all the lands. His father was murdered at a young age, so the world needed to feel his pain. His closest blood brother helped him rule in fear. But one day he betrayed him and lured him into a maze of torment.
You are that violent ruler. It is up to you to restore your honour. In order to achieve that you must find one of the STONES OF SORROW and brutally crush the skull of your betrayer.
