STORYLINE

Legend has it that when you drive the Daggar of Xian into your heart, you aquire the power of the dragon. Literally.

In Ancient China, the Emperor was the holder of this power and with his army alongside him, he was forced to be reckoned with. Thus empowered, he staked claim to the vast lands that are China.

His final battle however ended in defeat. While people fell all around him, the Warrior Monks of Tibet would not relent and courageously fought against his evil. Knowing the power of the daggar, they succeeded in removing it from the Dragon Emperor's heart, reducing him and his army to carnage. The daggar was returned to its resting place within the Great Wall and safely locked up for all time.

Now 3 parties hold the daggar close to their heart. And all for entirely different reasons.

Lara Croft, the forever adventurer, is one of these. On her travels, she will encounter the other two...
