Your Quest: (As told by Merson, The Great Wizard)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Though you have completed your quest to save the land of Questron from the
|
|||
|
|
crazed magician Mantor and his Evil Book of Magic, the book Itself still exists.
|
|||
|
|
The book is so evil that it cannot be destroyed by normal means. Its very
|
|||
|
|
presence, anywhere in our continuum, poses the threat of corruption and doom to
|
|||
|
|
all civilizations. You must journey back in time to ensure that this
|
|||
|
|
abomination is never created.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"I will send you back through time and space to Landor, where Mantor has enticed
|
|||
|
|
six mad sorcerers to create the Evil Book of Magic. I have bent my power to
|
|||
|
|
allow communication with Landor through the "Hall of Visions". An important
|
|||
|
|
early step in your quest is to search out the hall so that I can lend you my
|
|||
|
|
guidance. Through the hall I have learned a few scraps of information
|
|||
|
|
concerning the situation on that troubled world. Within these parchments I pass
|
|||
|
|
information on to you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"You have never existed on Landor, so there you will not have the title and
|
|||
|
|
standing you have earned on Questron. My transportation spell is limited to
|
|||
|
|
sending only you and a few items. You shall take along the Evil Book of Magic,
|
|||
|
|
for we would trust no other to guard it, and the glittering gold key. Beyond
|
|||
|
|
these items I can send you only the barest of equipment. Also, the temporal
|
|||
|
|
transition will cause the loss of some of your Questron-renowned power.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"When you get to Landor you must quickly gain equipment to improve your chances
|
|||
|
|
of survival. Talk to many, for you will have much to learn about the land and
|
|||
|
|
its situation. Regain your fighting prowess and equipment as soon as possible,
|
|||
|
|
for Landor is at least as dangerous as Questron. Learn how to survive in
|
|||
|
|
cities, as well as the wilderness. Visit the cathedrals and learn their secrets.
|
|||
|
|
Venture carefully into the castles. And be ready for the dangers of the tombs
|
|||
|
|
and dungeons. To stop the six mad sorcerers you will have to brave the perils
|
|||
|
|
of all these locations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Your victories on Questron prove you ae the only one we can send on mission.
|
|||
|
|
You are our last, best hope of destroying the Evil Book of Magic. Go now; the
|
|||
|
|
future of all people rides with you into the depths of the past."

Theory and Practice Of Time Travel
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(As told Morle the Magician in his text "Magic for the Masses")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Moving through space you accept without question. Moving through time you find
|
|||
|
|
impossible to believe. This is understandable, but foolish. To a wizard, time
|
|||
|
|
and space are but different sides of the same coin. Just because your
|
|||
|
|
experience forces you to see events occurring from past to future, do not be
|
|||
|
|
fooled into believing the grand plan operates in that way.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Among wizards, time travel is a common phenomenon. Yet it is often
|
|||
|
|
misunderstood. The fabric of time is self-repairing. Going back in time to
|
|||
|
|
prevent an event can do nothing to alter the years between the event and the
|
|||
|
|
moment you move back through time. Only the future after your departure will be
|
|||
|
|
altered. The past is but an elusive shadow - only the future can truly be
|
|||
|
|
changed.

The Six Mad Sorcerers (As chronicled by Lady Myrando, Historian to His Majesty,
|
|||
|
|
King Kelfar of The Realm of the Sorcerers.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For decades the Council of Seven Sorcerers jointly ruled The realm of Sorcerers,
|
|||
|
|
for no mortal king could challenge their magic and no king was allowed to be a
|
|||
|
|
wielder of spells. In the beginning the council's rulings were fair, but harsh.
|
|||
|
|
But longer they ruled unopposed, the more despotic their decisions became.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As the council rulings became more self-serving and forced greater and greater
|
|||
|
|
cruelty upon people, one member of the council was revolted by the misuse of
|
|||
|
|
power. Kelfar was a junior member of the council, but he understood that the
|
|||
|
|
council members' vanity and suspicions were their weaknesses. He secretly
|
|||
|
|
gained the confidence of the common people, and dug to discover every
|
|||
|
|
vulnerability of the other six members of the council.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When Kelfar was finally prepared, and the rest of the council was in total
|
|||
|
|
disarray over a minuscule dispute, he renounced his sorcerers ways and took up
|
|||
|
|
sword to become one with his followers. With the common people behind him and
|
|||
|
|
the scattered despots at their weakest, Kelfar struck down the power of the
|
|||
|
|
council members and banished them as one from the civilized areas of the realm.
|
|||
|
|
His joy claimed him His Majesty, King Kelfar, Lord of The Realm of the
|
|||
|
|
Sorcerers!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
His Majesty's rule ws wise and fair, but his mercy in banishing, and not
|
|||
|
|
eliminating, his former comrades has cost the realm dearly. For in banishing
|
|||
|
|
them as one, His Majesty has provided the sorcerers with a common purpose. The
|
|||
|
|
sorcerers have hidden themselves somewhere in the realm and even now work to
|
|||
|
|
being down His Majesty's rule.

The Evil Book of Magic
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sire,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My Sorcerers eyes and ears have been very active searching out the activities of
|
|||
|
|
the Six Mad Sorcerers. We know some thing of their plans, but of late their
|
|||
|
|
mystic defenses have become much stronger. The plague of monsters that has
|
|||
|
|
nearly over-run the realm is but a by product of the hideous creatures they
|
|||
|
|
create to protect themselves.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What I have learned is that The Six labor as on to create a great magic tome.
|
|||
|
|
They continue to siper of an Evil Book of Magic and of an other-dimensioanl
|
|||
|
|
leader who binds the group together. The name Mantor is spoken when the group
|
|||
|
|
believes it is alone. The Six fear Mantor, and his power, but they see him as
|
|||
|
|
the means to gain their revenge upon you. I fear they are nearing completion of
|
|||
|
|
whatever vile project they attempt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Given your political position as the leader of your people (and the renunciation
|
|||
|
|
of your sorcerers powers) and my creeping infirmity, neither of us is properly
|
|||
|
|
equipped to challenge the six Mad Sorcerers and their other-worldly leader.
|
|||
|
|
None of our own knights have been successful in finding, let alone
|
|||
|
|
circumventing, their monstrous power. I fear, your majesty, that without a hero
|
|||
|
|
of mystical proportions, your reign, and our realm are doomed. Heroes have come
|
|||
|
|
unto the land before, and we must pray that one comes to us again.
