1990 Secret
of the Silver Blades Secret of the Silver Blades, released in 1990, was the third installment in the Pool of Radiance saga. The game took place away from Phlan and the Dalelands; unfolding instead deep in the heart of the wintry Dragonspine Mountains. The player found his party summoned to a tiny mining town by the power of a mystical magic well to battle a great menace. A mysterious cult of spellcasters called The Black Circle has been hard at work reviving a powerful and evil lich known as the Dreadlord. It's up to the members of the party to seek what few members of the Dreadlord's sworn enemies, the Silver Blades, still exist, and ultimately take up the banner of the Silver Blades as their own in battle against the Dreadlord and his Black Circle minions.
Secret of the Silver Blades
stayed true to its predecessors in the series, offering much in the way
of expansion on the old and little in the way of brand-new material. Characters
were allowed to advance to 15th level (18th in the case of thieves) and
clerics and magic-users were allowed access to spells of up to seventh
level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
