         PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
         Like the rest of your tribe, you were born with
         shapeshifting abilities. When war threatened the
         peaceful culture, however, an old man brought you to
         the modern world for protection from your enemies.
         Your grew up without the knowledge of your morphing
         abilities or that evil gods had marked you for destruc-
         tion. But when the old man finally tells you of your
         background, and how you were named Shadowcaster,
         an ancient fury is unleashed and your are sent back in
         time with a single instruction - to locate the shrine in
         the ruins.
