==== Chapter XI ====

As the parties first order of business as Royal Guardsmen, they are assigned with putting on a play for the Ordinary Day celebration. Thousands of people are gathering in Castletown for the 100 year anniversary of the day that Smearth was united under one Von Banner, and the party is to portray the Old Kings confrontation with Overlord Grag, one of the Dire Fiends generals of Aethis. Hoping to put on a first rate performance, the party delves into the Fortress Von Castle's extensive library for information about the shady happenings the took place 100 years ago. Uncovering the true story of what happened wasn't easy, but they succeeded, and portrayed the events on stage before half of the continent. The party came to an abrupt stop when a large, dark man appeared on the stage with them. He proclaimed that his name was Max, and that he was taking over as rightful heir to the throne of Castletown. After putting a stop to the ceremony and retiring to the Fortress Von Castle, King Max invited the party to see him. Half of the party agreed to meet him, and the other half went back to the library to meet a scholar who would know if this claim was legitimate. The latter found out that not only was the claim legitimate, but someone had set ablaze to the part of the library that held the Old Kings records of what happened in Aethis. The group who went to meet the new king was offered the honor to keep their posts as royal guardsmen. Their first assignment would be to collect 3 artifacts from around the world left behind from the Old Kings. The group agreed to this, and then bolted for Old Man Port. Once again they met with Kermy and discussed a plan of action. A short trip later and they were in Sohim Sarak, and they found out that the artifact they sought was a chunk of Saint Blasphemy Burns' armor, and were quickly on their way.<BR>
