An Epic Fantasy Role-Playing Game for Windows and Macintosh
 You
have been banished to the underworld, never to see the light of
day again.
You have been cast down into the dark, volcanic pits of Avernum,
filled with foul monsters, constant warfare, and thousands and thousands
of your fellow prisoners. This is your punishment for not fitting
in, for speaking out against the powers that be, for being an inconvenience
to the government of the cruel Emperor Hawthorne. You have been
sentenced to life imprisonment in the caverns, eventually to die
there, forgotten and unmourned.
But you need not accept your fate. There are those who wish to
struggle against this injustice, who wish to return to the surface
world and to fight against tyranny. But first, they need a hero,
they need inspiration, and, most of all, they need someone who can
find an escape route. Can you help them?
Will you be the first person to escape from Avernum?
