The land, once so fair, now ravaged by the greatest pestilence since the time of The Black Wanderer and The Unborn One. Three thousand years have passed, years in which the once beautiful land has been all but destroyed. For three thousand years nothing has been heard of The Mysterious Stranger but now on a dark, wet and windy night he returns. To you, a descendent of the 'Singer of the Song'. You, a mere child, still flush with the vigour of youth. To you he comes. You who have done nothing remotely heroic in all of your seventeen years. The Stranger tells you that when the Black Wanderer sowed the seed of The Unborn One, so too did he sow another seed..... the one which would lie dormant until the time was ripe for it to burst forth. As the seed lay dormant, however, it matured and then mutated. It divided and became many and called itself LEGION though it was more than just one being. It was many, it was Legion and through its numbers it would gather strength. The multi-faceted evil then spawned upon the land, but it spawned far to the east, far beyond the Eagleshorn, beyond Darklen Moor, beyond the borders of the realm, in the unknown reaches of the place known as the Saddest Lands. The Mysterious Stranger tells you that although the Silent Song has been lost, it too has mutated. It has mutated within YOU.... into something more than what it was. But he cannot tell you what. That is for you and you alone to discover. He leads you to the giant bird Sebac, who is to carry you over the Eagleshorn to the realm of Legion and there he bids you farewell. You must now set out upon the giant bird in the direction of Legion and there do what you will to stop the evil spreading to the west....... And so, Sebac sets you down upon the Plain of the Uninvited and with a last, lingering glance in your direction, soars into the blue sky and vanishes over the golden horizon...........

The pathway is barely a foot wide and seems to meander gently down to the sea. The pathway here is very rocky and the slightest sound seems to echo around the gorge causing strange ripples of sound through the air. Paths turn north and south.

Strange etheric mists swirl about, cold and clammy to the skin. The land itself is devoid of features or even life. As you gaze about you can see in front of you the Empty Souls, massing to protect their evil masters. The only way lies south.

You somehow get the feeling that many eyes are watching you and you walk quietly and with great care through these forgotten lands. Paths turn north and south here.

You sink even more into the mire and find it quite difficult to keep going. You can see that to the south, beyond th swamp, lies much drier land. Paths lie north and south.

A well-trodden pathway winds east through a narrow valley while another heads south into a much darker and more mysterious realm. The only other way lies north. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 13 ; THE VALLEY THE VALLEY EAST 14 ; DEEP IN THE HILLS WEST 12 ; THE FORGOTTEN HILLS END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 13 ; THE VALLEY The valley floor becomes soft and unsupporting here. The ground yields as though turning into a boggy marshland. The valley continues east and west although, to the east, the hills flatten somewhat as the valley runs into what appears to be a fen-land. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 14 ; DEEP IN THE HILLS DEEP IN THE HILLS SOUTH 10 ; THE DEVIL'S SWAMP WEST 13 ; THE VALLEY END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 14 ; DEEP IN THE HILLS The hills here run into dangerous swampland. As yet, it is not too bad but as your gaze turns south you can see that it becomes much worse. Your feet sink into the soaking ground as you struggle forward. The only obvious safe ground lies west and south. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 15 ; THE GREAT WALL THE GREAT WALL SOUTH 11 ; WITHIN THE CAVE END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 15 ; THE GREAT WALL You stand high amid the peaks of the Great Wall, a mist hovering thickly around you like a cloying smoke. It is dense and rather distasteful. You seem to be standing on a small ledge in front of a cave entrance. Be warned! Further climbing could be detrimental to your health. A track wends south. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 16 ; SOME LOW FOOTHILLS SOME LOW FOOTHILLS NORTH 23 ; THE UNINVITED PLAIN SOUTH 12 ; THE FORGOTTEN HILLS END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 16 ; SOME LOW FOOTHILLS Here the plain enters some low-lying foothills which roll gently into some higher hill country to the south. The aridity of the plain seems to lessen as the greenery becomes more obvious. Tall shadows lengthen across the rolling slopes. Tracks lead north and south. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 17 ; THE GREAT WALL THE GREAT WALL NORTH 20 ; UPON THE ROADWAY END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 17 ; THE GREAT WALL You stand at the foot of the Great Wall staring up at the completely sheer face of these heights. No hand or footholds can be found. Pitons and ropes are the only way up but you don't seem to be carrying them. It may be advisable to go and look for such items before venturing further here. The path runs north from the cliff face. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 18 ; THE WISHING WELL THE WISHING WELL NORTH 21 ; UPON THE PLAIN END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 18 ; THE WISHING WELL Here stands an ancient, stone wishing well, the brickwork crumbling to dust even as you stare at it. By the look of the well it has been standing here for thousands of years, perhaps even dating back to the halcyon years of the land's youth when all was fresh and fair and untarnished by the evil of men. From the well, the only way lies to the north.

Strange eddies and currents seem to be pulling you in many different directions at once. Quickly now, make a decision before it is too late. Quickly..... quickly..... END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 20 ; UPON THE ROADWAY UPON THE ROADWAY NORTH 25 ; TELGARATH WOOD SOUTH 17 ; THE GREAT WALL END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 20 ; UPON THE ROADWAY You are travelling wearily upon a broad north-south roadway which runs down towards the Great Wall Mountains, a range that cuts angrily across the land like jagged teeth. It is widely known that these mountains are unscalable without special climbing gear. Perhaps you should head north to relative safety again. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 21 ; UPON THE PLAIN UPON THE PLAIN SOUTH 18 ; THE WISHING WELL EAST 23 ; THE UNINVITED PLAIN WEST 21 ; UPON THE PLAIN END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 21 ; UPON THE PLAIN The Plain seems to even out towards the south where something can just be seen through the haze. These arid wastes stretch off into the west as far as the eye can see and some sixth sense warns you not to attempt that direction. It would be best to stay upon the path that runs east and south. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 22 ; THE WATERS OF RAMADALARA THE WATERS OF RAMADALARA NORTH 24 ; THE SADDEST LANDS END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 22 ; THE WATERS OF RAMADALARA You stand on the shores of a great lake, the Waters of Ramadalara. The lake appears serene and quiet, as though no danger could possibly lurk beneath its quiescent surface. But beware! Tales tell of suffering and death within these silent depths. The trail leads north from here.

This Plain stretches south towards the Forgotten Hills and due east into the Saddest Lands. The Plain is devoid of life, even the most stubborn of weeds refuse to grow here. Truly a desolate and anguished place that owes much of of its desolation to that which has infested the land in ages past. The Black Wanderer and the madness of the Unborn One. A pathway winds west through the dust.

A great sadness hangs over this torn and ravaged place, the sadness beginning to creep over you as you trudge wearily through the desolate landscape. Something nags at your mind; something warns of impending doom. What can it be? Pathways turn in most directions from here. END_ROOM_DESCR ROOM 25 ; TELGARATH WOOD TELGARATH WOOD SOUTH 20 ; UPON THE ROADWAY WEST 24 ; THE SADDEST LANDS END_ROOM ROOM_DESCR 25 ; TELGARATH WOOD Here is a dark wood, a lost and desolate place of tree and log. Telgarath, once so proud and majestic, now rotting and festering like some discarded relic. Ah! What has happened to the land? What evils gnaw away at these trees, causing them to crumble and die? Take care, traveller, all is not well in this realm. Overgrown trails lead west and south through the wood.

Doors stand open as though everyone who lived here had left in a hurry. You wonder what could have caused their sudden departure - could it be to do with the evil you seek?
