	The Round Kingdom is a realm of knights, ladies, bards and jesters. Until this summer, only the occasional ogre, griffon or wyvern made an incursion into its fair lands. For 126 years kinghts and village heroes have easily bested such foes. But now the Green Planet has swung again into its close orbit near the Good Creation , casting a baleful influence that boosts the power of weird magic, leads to the birth of monsters, and raises the dead from their graves.
