Lords of Darkness 1 - The Fugitive (V3.0)
Original description: The Kingdom of Arboril once was a peaceful and beautiful place. 100 years ago, King Edgar the Wise ruled the land and was loved by the people for bringing peace, prosperity and freedom to the land. But that all changed when King lost both his children, leaving the Throne of Arboril without a heir. Full of grief, the King laid the power into the hands of his advisor, the young Lord Gaeldorn. But, full of lust for power, Lord Gaeldorn's first and only intention wasn't to do good for his people. Since after King Edgar died, Lord Gaeldorn ruled the lands with an iron fist. The people's rights were taken away, replaced by a system of oppressive laws getting harsher each day. The more dissatisfied the citizens became with their new rulers, the more oppressive Gaeldorn's laws became. Decades later, it's a day like any other when you start to go shopping on Arboril City's Grand Plaza market. It is a day which will become the last normal day in your life...
Pay attention: CEP1 is needed to play.

This is one of my all time favourite mods.
I loved this Module. Absolutely one of the best if not the. The best use of shadowdancer/assassins of any I have played. He actually makes high level opponents which attack you like a human. I love the story line, plot twists, right up there with the best of all time. Challenging and rewarding, masterpiece.
I still recall playing this series a number of years back. It was hands down one of the greatest mod series for NWN!
Now I'd like to play it again. Unfortunately, after downloading everything as per the instructions above, when I try to launch the module, I am told that a required custom talk table is missing. Can anyone help?
Do you have the CEP1 talk table in your tlk folder? It comes with the CEP1 download.
Good point, thanks! It turns out I apparently forgot to extract that. Now I've got it, plus the hakpaks, and I'm all set to go!
(BTW: the link above to CEP does not work, but searching for "CEP" finds a link to the "CEP1 complete" project, which has everything we need.)
Thanks again for your incredibly fast and helpful response!
Thanks for pointing that out - I updated the CEP1 link to the latest version.
I just replayed this mod after many years, and I enjoyed it even more this time around! I'm looking forward to continuing to Part 2, Onwards! :-)
Great mod!
This is the vote for the whole saga. Comment under the 4th module.
relatively good saga
No way :) When you think you played everything that's best on the Vault, another highly-rated saga you've never heard of pops up... I should thank those of you guys who update "Top Modules" list on the main page of neverwintervault.org. Added to my to-do list.
A rating for the whole series. The comment will be under Part 4
Hi, two questions:
1/ Can somebody who completed the saga tell if this story allows for fighter/mage build? I mean does it offer items with negative Arcane Spell Failure?
2/ In spite of installing custom music I keep hearing standard motives in module 2. Is music implemented only in module 3 and 4 ?
Great module, perfect level progress, you never get bored!
Note for whoever is having problems playing this module due to 1) cloak being invisible in inventory and/or 2) game crashes when opening a store:
USE CEP v1.x haks and *DO NOT* use "Cep1 complete (pre-release)" files. Problems just disappeared.
Just finished playing through all four modules in this series, and what a ride! :D Lots of fun and interesting challenges
Suprisingly, I don't typically enjoy hack'n'slash adventures but I found I couldn't stop playing this series. There's enough fun storyline, just a smidge of roleplaying, and romance scenes to sate my need for a roleplaying adventure (dialogue options can be very linear, but ultimate end game choices & relationship determinations are all up to you, which was great!) I ended up loving my character too (i'm so sad to see the story end, but it was a very satisfying conclusion!) and the combat was challenging enough to keep my interest in gameplay from ever waning. :)
LOVED IT! <3 Thank you for your hard work making this series!!!!
