Followers
Others will be drawn to you and your search. So it is with a
great cause such as yours—even those with little talent for
magic instinctively feel the dire nature of your task and long to
take part. Be cautious when choosing whom to accept into your
circle.
Though you will gain many followers, only one may
accompany you at any time, and each supports you in a
different way. To switch followers or change their combat
behavior, press

to scroll to the
Followers
screen.
To switch followers, highlight the follower you want on
the
Followers
screen, and then press

instances, such as during combat, you are not able to switch
followers.

Dawn Star
Like you, Dawn Star was brought to Two Rivers as a child.
Considering her general kindness to all, it is no surprise that
you became close friends. But, caring though she is, many in the
village consider her strange, whispering that she speaks with
ghosts. Just as she has accompanied you throughout your years
of learning, you would be wise to keep her close to your side
during the trials to come.
Sagacious Zu
The hermit of the swamp is a man with blackened hands and
the scars of many battles. His skill in battle is unquestionable,
but his loyalty to your cause is not so certain.
Foes
These days the land overfl ows with perils—some originating in
this world, others emanating from the next.
Bandits
These scoundrels typically roam the countryside, preying on
weary travelers. But with recent events keeping most citizens
close to the safety of their hearths, these bloodthirsty rogues
have become desperate, attacking towns directly.
Death’s Hand
Few dare speak the name of the Emperor’s advisor, but all live
in fear of him. Little is known of Death’s Hand other than that
he is the leader of the shadowy Lotus Assassins. A few brave
souls imply that the Emperor relies on his counsel more than is
prudent.
Combat Encounters
You automatically enter Combat mode any time
you approach an opponent who is prepared to
fi ght. You can pull
l
+
r
to move about more
freely in Free Target mode, but you may not
leave the combat area until you have
dispatched your foe.
