Dark Arisen
Welcome to the Harrowing Bitterblack Isle
Bitterblack Isle...an eerily tranquil island steeped in death and calamity, whose name was all but forgotten.
The monsters that roam the isle are even deadlier than those on Gransys, but the weapons and equipment found there are more powerful still.
A myriad of traps await the Arisen, and offer a potential new fate for them when they reach the deepest depths of the underworld...
