The game begins with you learning that two people have gone missing near a small town named Hommett. Once you get there clues point you towards an abandoned moat house, which is the first dungeon of the game. As you continue your adventure, you eventually learn about the Temple of Elemental Evil where the rest of the game takes place. While it may seem like you reach the Temple (and the end-game) fairly quickly, don?t worry; there is a lot of game play in the Temple. In fact, the vast majority of the game takes place there. There is another town, Nulb, you can also visit along the way. Both towns provide plenty of short quests you can use to level up your characters.​
