Once, its halls belonged to the dwarven ancestors. Its forges burned day and night, its gates guarded a thriving realm, and its throne stood beneath the stone.
Now, a dwarven heir has returned.
Determined to reclaim the mountain of his forefathers, he gathers seven loyal dwarven companions and begins the journey toward the lost kingdom.
But the mountain is no longer empty.
Its ancient gates have been broken. Goblin tribes have claimed the lower tunnels. Strange creatures move in forgotten chambers, and deep within the darkness, enormous webs cover halls untouched for centuries.
The dwarves have returned home.
But something else already calls the mountain its own.
The Lost Kingdom is Chapter I of The King Beneath the Mountain, a dark fantasy musical journey blending Dungeon Synth, Gothic RPG atmosphere, Symphonic Metal and Neoclassical Fantasy.
