About The Season of the Warlock
Lord Alistair Ainsworth is at the University of Edgestow, giving a lecture on the enigmatic figure of Waldemar the Warlock. The word is that the warlock ruled over the land of Groldavia through the use of dark magic. The scholars that Alistair meets with wave their hands at his claims since there is no record of the warlock ever existing. Lord Alistair, frustrated, decides he should look for it in Groldavia.
There, he will find an imposing portrait of the warlock, which appears to be the depositary of Waldemar’s errant soul. The warlock’s soul still yearns for revenge and presents Lord Alistair with an offer he will not be able to resist… Or will he?
