The large red book is a history of the Land.

@X0AIn the Peaceful Kings Land, one of the mightiest empires in the Realm of
Darwöen, an unrest came about. Townspeople, Knights, Kings and their
Queens all felt the darkness come forth. It spread across the land like
the plague smelling of death. It crept across the land devouring minds,
leaving their victims nearly zombies, and causing them to march towards
Mt. Tharfole. Little did they know of their peril when the reached
Castle Morabis, for Lord Devenon would warp their bodies into cruel evil
creations.

@X0AAs the evil power grew, farmers told of great floating things devouring
their Arguleh with slobbering fangs, long tails and slimy bodies. Whole
towns were loosing their people to the death march, panic spread across
The Kings Land. More information poured into Castle Dengilian, where
King Richards gathered together his army commanders to engage in battle.
The call went out even as far as Mondonia that all of life was at stake.

@X0ABut back in Castle Morabis, Lord Devenon sat upon his throne. In his
palm lay a ruby red ball. He smiled and stared deeply into his ball and
saw the King's armies preparing. Standing from his balcony high atop
Castle Morabis, he commenced the WageWar against all light and goodness
to once again, rid the land of innocence.

@X0AAt the morn of the battle, Prince Daniel commanded half the battle, the
remainder to his father. At nearly noon the armies of darkness began to
dot the horizon. In minutes from side to side the black wall of Thagens
with jalnaths on leash came thundering across the plains. And beyond
them came the packs of Quarns, Vrikiats, Wragors, Ghouls and other more
hideous beasts. And beyond it all, Lord Devenon watched from his throne
room.

@X0AThe force of the battle was too great, and the armies of daylight were
scatterred and smitten. Most of what was left marched off mindless
towards Castle Morabis, and a black mist rose up from the ground and
covered the field. Those that survived said they could hear Devenon
hideously laughing;

@X0AKing Richards was found amoung the bodies on the battlefield. He had
been stripped of his honor by mutilation. Prince Daniel, now King,
breathed a sigh at the sight of his newborn son, Bannor. Sadly, his new
wife Katherynn, died shortly afterwards from a mele of crossbow bolts.

The new King could not return to Castle Dengilian, Lord Devenon's
Deamons had stormed it, pounding it to shreds with great boulders.
Therefore, he took jourey to find the Scarlette Sword and the legendary
Armor of Power.

@X0ADuring his quest he battled down through Castle Morabis to the very
center of the earth, where he fought and defeated Satu'Navas, the Deamon
of the ruby red ball. However, Lord Devenon escaped badly wounded both
magically and phsyically, and transformed his body into the crystal
walls of Valkner's Keep.

Now, years have passed, and Lord Devenon has forged for himself another
body. Returning to Castle Morabis, he has once again summoned his
Deamons, Satu-Navas, Fenal, Jahay, Nimlatch, and Nehor. With these
deamons and hoards of Jalnaths, Omonorfs, and more, he has dug great
dungeons and within them placed the bane of all evils.

@X0AKing Daniel, being an aged ruler, has called upon the Kings Land for a
champion. Someone of valiant character, both courages and strong, to
defeat Lord Devenon and his host of deamons, once and for all.

@X0FCould this be you?
