Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play.

The player is then allowed to choose Grandmaster Kai disciplines and a selection of Dessi and Crystal Star magics.

This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Grandmaster rank").

Lone Wolf, Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund, has just completed a successful quest when he learns that the Dark God Naar is about to send a large group of fire-breathing dragons against the Kai Monastery.

Lone Wolf has to deal with assassins sent to intercept him before he can reach the monastery and lead the new Kai Lords into battle.
