Meet Merci, the praying mantis, and her friend Romy, the lightning bug. They are about to set off on a quest to explore the dark corners of "Deep Cavern", a vast network of underground tunnels. What tales will they bring back? Join Mara as Merci recounts her story of their journey.

Romy and Merci are in pursuit of the "Sulfur Demons"--a mysterious enemy of volcanic origins. The great volcano lies in the distance, guarded by a demonic gate and surrounded by a hostile terrain. They have heard stories of fields shimmering of gold, the burning river, and bats that breathe its fire. Which of these stories are true? How will they cross the fields, ford the great burning river, and pass the Gate of Iron and Sulfur? It's up to you to decide their fate. Will they reach the volcano--and if so, what will they find within?

The Legend of Fordham Forest combines a role-playing game with 2D physics elements. As Romy and Merci travel through Deep Cavern, they will meet assorted allies. Help them raise their army and work their way through the treacherous terrain. Can they learn the unique strengths and weaknesses of each character, and concoct a scheme to pass every obstacle? Will they be able to navigate a wide array of tricks and traps? The "Sulfur Demons" can be cunning! Can Romy and his friends come out on top? The world of Deep Cavern is waiting for them--and you--to explore!

The Legend of Fordham Forest has a home in An Ember in the Wind, the second book of the An Orthogonal Universe series. Perhaps Mara can sympathize with Merci, as her own journey through Fordham Forest is fraught with peril, living puppets, and visions of a mysterious "code" in the world. Will Merci's tale help her better understand her own plights?
