On your journey, you will uncover numerous secrets in torn-out diary pages, secret research labs, abandoned hideouts, and undelivered letters - piecing together the story of Pentaquin bit by bit.

In Pentaquin: Deeds Of Twilight, you will gradually uncover the secrets of the fascinating Pentaquin universe while unveiling the conflicts behind the five rival gods and their enigmatic moons.
The world of Pentaquin is put to the test. After the soul of its creator god was split into five autonomous aspects, the original form of magic is only partially usable - and the technologies based on it are gradually failing. The balance of power between the mighty Tero’zar, the former guardians of creation, and the human population is shifting, and conflicts are sprouting like mushrooms. In this fragile world, you fight as the son of a devoted paladin, who once belonged to the freedom-seeking Light Circle, for the survival of your family - or what remains of it. Dangerous Enemies: Face dangerous foes, from corrupted nature elementals in the forests, rebellious bandit clans in the villages, to the icy guardians of the hostile mountain ranges. Divine Conflicts: Unveil the origins behind the five rival gods, their enigmatic moons, and the respective religions that have formed around them, leading to inevitable conflicts. Find and Save Your Sister: Follow the trail of your missing sister and save her from a dark fate that already meant certain death for your father - and now threatens the rest of your family.

The five moons orbiting the planet Pentaquin influence the life and magic of the world. Each moon represents an aspect of magic, and the powerful mage circles utilize these forces to enforce their respective ideologies - if necessary, with violence.
The former loyal servants of the original god, now the ever-weaker Tero'zar guardians without their creator's energy, are on the verge of a bloody civil war brewing in the midst of their spiritual center. What role will the former world capital of Terovania play in the power structure of Pentaquin? Amid this world order marked by chaos and destruction, new mage circles are forming around the planet around the five god aspects, aiming to gain dominance over the shattered world and enforce their own values and ideals. As a devoted follower of the Light God Mage Circle, your father already gave his life in battle. Will your sister continue his attempt to free the world from the supposed tyranny of the other circles, or can you bring her to reason in time and save her from your father's dark fate? A dark adventure between the abysses of light and shadow awaits you!
