The Story Begins...
New hope springs forth from the gathering dark
New stars rise to shine in the night
A hero is born bearing destiny's mark
To rekindle the faltering light
-- Ancient Prophecy, writer unknown
The evil overlord is Drakkar the Corrupter, who is rumored to be the ancient demon Krazz'akk reborn into human flesh. His most important minions are the Hanged Knights. Their order were once the protectors of the kingdom, but it is said that Drakkar spoke ancient words of enchantment into their ears; they became possessed by the spirits of history's greatest traitors and they slew the old king (Eral the Just) at Drakkar's behest. Now they wear black armor and a hangman's noose around their necks. We must find the ancient sword of the great hero Valinus, forged by an archangel, with which he slew Krazz'akk. It is rumored that Valinus will also be reborn into the world to wield the blade...
