On August 17, 2011, Spiderweb Software (http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com) will bring Avadon: The Black Fortress to Steam at a new low price of 9.99! We celebrate our first partnership with the Steam platform and hope to bring as many newcomers to Spiderweb’s 16th full length RPG as possible. As an additional incentive the game will have a 10% discount during the and launch week!

Five great nations have banded together to form The Pact. The Pact is defended by Avadon, a secretive sect of spies and assassins. Its agents are everywhere, and its word is law. You have been recruited as a Hand of Avadon, charged with missions that require swift action and a heavy fist. However, the enemies of the Pact have plans of their own, and Hands of Avadon are being picked off one by one. It will fall to you to struggle to survive and to reveal that plot that could shatter the safety of The Pact and plunge your homeland into chaos.

Embark on a whole new adventure full of danger, mystery, and intrigue. Visit the lands of the Pact and the wild, hostile lands beyond. Select one of four playable classes, each with dozens of unique skills and abilities. Meet many fascinating characters, explore massive dungeons, and hunt for hundreds of powerful magical artifacts. With over 40 hours of play, Avadon will keep you glued to your seat as its epic story unravels.
