Dragonshard is a real-time strategy experience based in the mystical world of
Eberron, the acclaimed new Dungeons & Dragons realm. Within this wholly
imaginative setting lives an inventive gameplay fusion: dramatic RTS play is
affected by the risks and rewards of a thrilling RPG-styled underworld.
As players direct troops over the land, they also plunge smaller, hero-led
parties below ground to an RPG-modeled world of beasts, battles, and bounty.
Experience and items gained in this underworld result in great powers and
abilities above ground.
Using magic, weaponry, and skilled maneuvers. Players command armies from
varying races to control, protect--or destroy--the powerful Heart of Siberys.
Obtaining this omnipotent artifact will unleash its full forces (good or evil)
upon the entire world.
