His travels lead him to the Byzantine city of Sirmium, in which its inhabitants are under the scourge of an unknown disease, the pirate city Ylgar and the Saracen port Yusra.
Paul must find three artifacts - The Eye, The Weapon and The Rune to close the Gate to Hell. Each artifact is hidden in a different city.
