And for the end, exploration: the events are presented in this text-quest format, and I suggest you play with the spoilers off. It's more fun not really knowing what your choices will bring. Also, the game is good enough to give you special options if you have certain heroes or followers (non-combat dudes who provide a certain boost each). Exploration is where you get to read all about the world of Trials of Fire, and the precarious situation the various races are in the magically devastated world.
All in all, Trials of Fire is a good game, would recommend.
