Aveyond The Darkthrop Prophecy is chapter 4 and the last chapter of Aveyond 3 Orbs of Magic series. Alot of old locations from Aveyond 1 are reintroduced in this game such as Clearwater Veldarah, Thornkeep, and Sedona
The review on steam say that the saves for Aveyond 3-1 to 3-3 do not carry over into Aveyond 3-4 so beware when investing time in the previous games. You will have to relearn all your skills and level up from scratch.
Plot[]

In the fourth installment of the Orbs of Magic series, Mel has gone into hiding after she discovers she can use magic. To make matters worse, wicked creatures called Darklings keep popping up, convinced that Mel is the prophesied one who will build a dark empire for them. Edward, the ousted heir to the throne of Thais, who is also Mel’s best friend, eventually finds her hiding in the village of Harakauna. To her dismay, he’s brought along two professors from a school of magic called Shadwood Academy. After seeing Mel’s potential, the professors refuse to leave without her. Mel agrees to go with them, but only if Edward accompanies her. Edward is dismayed, but agrees to put the dispute for his throne aside, and train with Mel in the far away Arishta Isles, where Shadwood Academy is located.
