Out of tragedy, a hero is born! Richard Henry Benson must make the hardest choices imaginable, as he tracks down his family’s murderers one by one. Who shall live and who must die? In a shaky alliance with The Shadow, who deems himself judge, jury and executioner, and Doc Savage, who wishes only to serve mankind, The Avenger must finally declare his own ideology and methodology. Will justice be served… or will the malevolent John Sunlight and The Voodoo Master prevail?

Armello - The King, once Armello's wise and benevolent ruler, has fallen ill to
a dark and mysterious force known only as the Rot. Slowly eating his
body and soul, the Rot twists him deeper and deeper into madness. In
response, Armello's Great Clans have called forth their Heroes to claim
the throne of Armello; and this is where you start your adventure, Hero. As
a 'Hero' from one of the Great Clans of Armello, you'll quest, scheme,
explore, vanquish monsters, perform the Mad King's royal edicts and face
off against other players with one ultimate end goal in mind — storming
the palace and becoming king or queen of Armello!Will you gain followers, powerful treasures and hone your martial skills to challenge the King in combat and take his throne?Will you seek the healing powers of the Spirit Stones and quest across the kingdom facing Perils and danger?Will you defend the King and position yourself politically to be named his successor when he finally falls to the Rot?Or will you succumb to the Rot yourself, leave horror in your wake and claim the throne in the name of darkness?
