One thousand years ago humans began the practice of magicka and turned away from the old gods who became angry and destroyed the world they had created. The Grand Masters of the Wizard Order sealed their souls into a system of magical pillars which held the planetary fragments together. A millennium later, Khanda, the only surviving Grand Master, has perfected a magicka-based technology that can power Zenith: the spacefaring ship that will enable escape to a new world before the old gods return.

Talisman follows Wizard, Baker Brown on a mission to the other side of the world in order to find a cult leader that is trying to destroy the forcefield. Khanda believes the cult leader to be the old God of the Western Woods, Boam. Baker must find Boam and stop him before it's too late.
