It is set in a unique world, which can be described as mixture between Tolkienesque fantasy, steampunk technology and elements of British and North American culture of the 19th century: dwarves may carry molotov cocktails, and a half-orc protagonist can travel by train between Victorian-like cities.

The hero begins a long and perilous search for the mysterious boy, the origins of the silver ring, and the unknown enemy who was behind the attack on the zeppelin.Īrcanum is a role-playing game similar in concept and many gameplay principles to Fallout. The witness of the crash, a man named Virgil, declares that the now only survivor is 'The Living One', a reincarnation of a deity, and offers to follow him wherever he goes. Just before he dies, he gives a silver ring to the other survivor and tells him to 'find the boy'. However, one of them, an old gnome, is mortally wounded. The two half-ogre attackers die in flames along with all their victims except two who miraculously survived. Suddenly, while the zeppelin is cruising over mountains, two monoplanes attack it and eventually shoot it down. The luxury zeppelin IFS Zephyr begins her maiden voyage from Caladon in the Kingdom of Arland to Tarant, one of the largest cities in the technologically advanced Unified Kingdom.
