Hunters Village

[[Image:HuntersVillagePlan.jpg|center]]<br>

The southern part of Aden has always been infested with dangerous monsters. Hunters looking for rare game or reward money have been coming to this place for some time and gradually settled to create a village. Therefore, this place has become known as [[Hunters Village]]. It is a well-known secret that a guild of spies and assassins known as the Rogue Guild is based in this village. Until a few years ago, Hunters Village was a very lively place. Monsters in the [[Enchanted Valley]] not far to the north of the village used to carry valuable spellbooks on them that were required by mages and fighters to learn new skills. In the meantime those spells have become so widely know that spellbooks are no longer necessary - anybody wanting to learn new skills can do that with the help of a Master of Magister at the guild headquarters of his race in every town.

1) This infinitely repeatable quest which can be picked up at lvl 70 with Collector [[Gutenhagen]] at the southern edge of the [[Pavel Ruins]]. He asks you hunt all the Golems in the area and bring him 500 Broken Golem Fragments as proof. What Gutenhagen says about "Jackhammer Golems" is historical. Since the Freya update you have to kill lvl 72 Scout-type Golems No. 28, lvl 72 Cruel Pincer Golems and lvl 73 Drill Golems of Terror in the pits as well as lvl 72 Micro Scout Golems, lvl 72 Boom Golems, lvl 73 Guard Golems and lvl 73 Great Chaos Golems in and around the Laboratory buildings.

[[image:Influx1.jpg]]

[[image:Influx2.jpg]] [[image:influx2a.jpg]]

[[image:Influx3.jpg]] [[image:Influx4.jpg]]

[[image:Influx5.jpg]]

2) If you are only lvl 70, it will be better for you if you start in the pits south of the Dwarven encampment, the place marked with the quest pin. The Golems down there are all passive and non-social.

[[image:Influx6.jpg]]

The lvl 72 [http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%A0%95%EC%B0%B0%ED%98%95+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98+28%ED%98%B8 Scout-type Golem No.28] in the screenshot above is a relatively straightforward monster. It attacks both physically and with single-target magic. If you have a baby pet like a Kookaburra or a Buffalo tag along, the Golem won't attack it, even when it is recharging resp. healing. If you have a Strider or Fenrir help you fight, however, you must take care to keep the aggression on you, otherwise your pet might occasionally get hit. For about every 3 or 4 kills you will get a Broken Golem Fragment.

[[image:Influx7.jpg]]

The lvl 72 [http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%9E%94%EC%9D%B8%ED%95%9C+%EC%A7%91%EA%B2%8C+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98 Cruel Pincer Golem], however, shows a more complex behavior. This is the "basic" form you will find in the pits, being weak to Bow/Crossbow Weapons:

[[image:Influx8.jpg]] [[image:Influx9.jpg]]

When you have killed a passive basic form, there will with about 90% probability spawn an outwardly identical but aggressive "[http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%9E%94%EC%9D%B8%ED%95%9C+%EC%A7%91%EA%B2%8C+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98%28%EC%8A%A4%ED%8F%B0+%EC%A0%84%EC%82%AC%ED%98%95%29 warrior type]" Pincer Golem which has the same HP but is additionally weak to Melee Weapons and has a very weak P.Def., also giving the quest item but 1/3 less exp and having different drops and spoils. With a probability of about 10% the basic Pincer Golem will be replaced on its death with an aggressive "[http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EC%9E%94%EC%9D%B8%ED%95%9C+%EC%A7%91%EA%B2%8C+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98%28%EC%8A%A4%ED%8F%B0+%EB%B2%95%EC%82%AC%ED%98%95%29 mage type]", which again does not describe the properties of the Golem but those of the player. This variety has no weakness to any weapon and an extraordinarily strong P.Def. but also an extremely weak M.Def., giving almost the same exp as the basic type but different drops and spoils.

[[image:Influx10.jpg]] [[image:Influx11.jpg]]

You have about one or two seconds between the death of the original Golem and the birth of the secondary form. Use that time to pick up any Herbs that might have been dropped. Unlike in the Laboratory itself, all monsters in the pits drop Herbs. As a solo hunter you absolutely need them.

The same principle goes for the lvl 73 [http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EA%B3%B5%ED%8F%AC%EC%9D%98+%EB%93%9C%EB%A6%B4+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98 Drill Golem of Terror]. You have a passive basic form, which is weak to Bow and Crossbow Weapons, and then either a [http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EA%B3%B5%ED%8F%AC%EC%9D%98+%EB%93%9C%EB%A6%B4+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98%28%EC%8A%A4%ED%8F%B0+%EC%A0%84%EC%82%AC%ED%98%95%29 warrior type], which is weak to Melee Weapons, or a [http://power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/%EA%B3%B5%ED%8F%AC%EC%9D%98+%EB%93%9C%EB%A6%B4+%EA%B3%A8%EB%A0%98%28%EC%8A%A4%ED%8F%B0+%EB%B2%95%EC%82%AC%ED%98%95%29 mage type] with an extremely high P.Def. and which also attacks your pet first, while the other two types only attack the player character.

[[image:Influx12.jpg]] [[image:Influx13.jpg]]

[[image:Influx14.jpg]] [[image:Influx15a.jpg]]

Very rarely you will find a passive "mage type" version (with extremely strong P.Def.) of the Cruel Pincer Golem or the Drill Golem of Terror as primary form. That variety does not spawn a second Golem, however.

A very peculiar monster is the Pavel Safety Device. It gives neither exp nor SP, but it drops a few hundred adena, Herbs, and above all Attribute Stones, albeit with a very low probability.

[[image:Influx16.jpg]]
[[Influx17.jpg]]

To make Stone farming not too easy, the Safety Device spawns one or two seconds after its death with about 80% probability one Drill Golem of Terror and one Cruel Pincer Golem, both aggressive. Use that short delay to pick up any Herbs, because when you have killed those two basic form Golems, they will then in turn spawn one secondary form each. In other words, you have to deal with four aggressive Golems, always two at a time. Among the secondary forms descended from the Pavel Safety Device there seem to be only the warrior types who are weak to melee weapons, none of the mage types with strong P.Def.

[[image:Influx18.jpg]]

3) When you have 500 Broken Golem Fragments, return to Gutenhagen.

[[image:Influx19.jpg]]

The Dwarf will give you a random S-Grade weapon recipe.

[[image:Influx20.jpg]] [[image:Influx21.jpg]]

[[image:Influx22.jpg]]

This quest is infinitely repeatable, so if you did not get the recipe you wanted, you can immediately pick up the quest again from Gutenhagen. Here all the possible rewards:

Recipe Angel Slayer

Recipe Forgotten Blade

Recipe Heaven's Divider

Recipe Draconic Bow

Recipe Basalt Battle Hammer

Recipe Arcana Mace

Recipe Dragon Hunter Axe

Recipe Imperial Staff

Recipe Saint Spear

Recipe Demon Splinter

When Shilen, full of hatred, wanted to take revenge for her humiliation and went to war against the gods, Antharas was with her, fighting in the foremost front. Although being an extremely fierce creature, the dragon got severely injured and flew down to the earth, where he hid in a cave not very far from what is now the [[Town of Giran]], waiting there for the day of Shilen's resurrection.

The huge size of Antharas surpasses that of most other evil beasts and is only matched by that of his siblings Valakas and Lindvior. Even a very powerful sword would not easily inflict damage upon the body of the dragon, so densely is it covered with rock-hard scales. Beams of light emitted from the monster's eyes cause those who gaze upon it to freeze in horror. Antharas is fittingly regarded by all adventurers as the ultimate symbol of pure terror. Later, when [[Shunaiman]]'s Seven Seals, constantly fought over by the Human factions, started to weaken, [[Shilen]]'s influence grew in the lands of Aden and Elmore. In order to protect her child from the reckless adventurers ceaselessly pestering him, she bestowed on Antharas protective magic and gave him far more strength than he ever had.

Three Watchmen, all of them members of the [[Guardians of the Seal]], keep an eye on the sleeping dragon. For any adventurers intending to challenge Antharas there is only one way into his cave, the so-called "Heart of Warding", a doorway created by the Guardians of the Seal when the dragon was locked up. It can only be activated with a Portal Stone that is given by Antharas Watchman [[Theodric]] to those who have been approved by the Guardians. The way to gain that approval is a long and dangerous one. Anybody wishing for an [[Audience with the Land Dragon]] should talk to [[Gabrielle]], the representative of the Guardians of the Seal in [[Town of Giran|Giran]].

The [[Dwarves]] were the third of the races [[Einhasad]] had created, together with her daughter [[Maphr]], who gave them the spirit of Earth. They were good engineers, skilled mathematicians and excelled in fine craftsmanship. Soon, however, they were enslaved by the [[Giants]] who far exceeded them in strength and intelligence. Seeing the usefulness of the Dwarven race, the Giants permitted them to work in banking and manufacturing.

While they served the [[Giants]], the Dwarves unobtrusively learned a lot from their masters, and when the Giants rebelled against the gods, with the well-known consequences, the Dwarves were the first among the former slave races who succeeded in establishing a stable society of their own. Far in the north of the continent they found a place with swiftly running rivers, surrounded by mountains with rich deposits of coal and various ores. The Dwarves started to dig mines and built mills to process the ores. They called that place "M├╝hling", i.e. Milltown, which was later shortened to "Mlan" and became the capital of the [[Dwarven King|Dwarven Kingdom]].

The [[Orcs]] were the second of the races [[Einhasad]] had created, together with her son [[Pa'agrio]], who bestowed on them the spirit of Fire. Having an impressive physical build, even their women being tall and broad-shouldered, with wide hips to give them a firm stand, they possessed inexhaustible strength and great will power. However, they were not as strong as the [[Giants]]. Therefore, the Giants let the Orcs serve them in warfare.

After the fall of the Giants, the [[Elves]] were first to take control of the situation, as they were the race responsible for politics during the time of the [[Giants]]. But as time passed, it became apparent that the Elves did not have the same ability to rule that the Giants had. The first to stand against the Elves were the Orcs: "Are the Elves stronger than we? No! Do the Elves have the right to rule over us? No! We cannot bear that those who are weaker than we dare to stand above us!"

The Orcs were skilled soldiers, fearless and proud, and, having lived only in peace, the Elves were no match for them. Most of the land became Orc territory in an instant, and they set up their capital at Rion, in the northwest of what is now known as the land of [[Kingdom of Elmore|Elmore]]. That made the Orcs direct neighbors of the [[Dwarven King|Dwarven Kingdom]]. Well paved roads connected Rion both with the Dwarven capital at Mlan and the industrial town of Schuttgart, and via those roads the Dwarves supplied the Orcs with high grade weapons and armor, receiving payment in animal products and medicinal plants. The Dwarves needed the big leather skins of Kasha Bears for the bellows in their forges, and the antidote that could be produced from the highland herbs was of vital importance to counteract the noxious gases in some of their mines.

This was a well working business relationship where Orcs and [[Dwarves]] both benefited. But then the [[Humans]] stepped into the light of history. Those lowly, ape-like creatures approached the [[Elves]], promising them help in their war against the Orcs. In a barely veiled barter trade the Elves were to teach the Humans magic to pay them for their military support. The Elves, being rather desperate, agreed to that trade. They told themselves that this request was no threat; the Humans were too weak, and they themselves certainly could not defeat the Orcs without help. Then the Humans quickly absorbed the ways of magic, learning much faster than the Elves had anticipated. The Human bodies, though not as strong as those of Orcs, had been strengthened through constant labor and infighting among their kind. They were adept with their hands and could skillfully wield weaponry, and more than anything else, their numbers were huge and impressive. In a short amount of time, the Human army became a formidable force.

Soon the Human-Elf alliance began to win more and more of their battles against the Orcs. As the tides of war turned in favor of the alliance, the [[Dwarves]] shifted allegiance from the Orcs and began to craft battle supplies for the Humans. With the stronger armor and sharp Dwarven weapons, the [[Humans]] could now overcome the Orc army, even without the aid of Elven forces. Eventually the war ended with the victory of the Human-Elf alliance. The Orcs were forced to sign a humiliating peace treaty and quickly retreated to their ancient heartland around Rion and the Immortal Plateau.

<br>

While [[Humans]] and [[Elves]] soon started to squabble among themselves, the Humans driving their former mentors back into the forests and becoming the virtual rulers of the continent, the Orcs slowly recovered their strength. Their numbers increased again, which naturally put a major strain on their economy. The northern lands are not suitable for agriculture, and apart from gathering wild fruit, people must survive by hunting. Once there were more hunters than animals of prey, a downward spiral started - the tribes were fighting among each other for the best hunting spots, then killing more animals than were born every spring, and often still could not feed their families at home. The game population dwindled, making the hunt ever more difficult.

Orcs being a warlike race to start with, the level of aggression within their society rose to a level that started to endanger the stability of the country. A solution had to be found. Since the food supply could not be increased from within the Orcish Kingdom, they decided to go to war against their neighbors. Their last defeat had taught them that Humans, in spite of their apparent weakness, were formidable foes. [[Dwarves]], on the other hand, had good military equipment, but by far not the fighting skills of Orcs. In particular, the short people, being rational engineers, did not possess any shamans or wizards to provide them with support magic in battle.

The decision was taken. The Orcish tribes were going to war again. Young fighters were drafted into the army, shamans were trained in combat magic, and then, learning from past mistakes, the Orcs sent messengers to the Humans. It was agreed that there was to be a coordinated attack, the Human army marching from Goddard on the Dwarven provincial capital of [[Town of Schuttgart|Schuttgart]], an industrial town the Humans were very much interested in, while the Orcs would take Mlan, wreaking revenge on the Dwarves for having betrayed them in the last war.

This strategy worked. The Humans took Schuttgart, completely destroying the town with its world-famous Hanging Gardens and rebuilding it in the image of Goddard. At the same time the Orcs inflicted a crushing defeat on the Dwarven forces who made a last stand under the walls of Mlan. The [[Dwarven King]] and his Defenders were mercilessly slaughtered by the Orcs, while the civilian population of Mlan escaped through a subterranean labyrinth to the [[Strip Mine]] on the eastern side of the Spine Mountains.

The Orcs could not enjoy their victory for long, though. As soon as the Humans had gained a firm foothold in the Schuttgart area, mopping up the scattered groups of young Dwarves who tried to organize a resistance movement, history repeated itself. Like after the last war they had turned against their Elven mentors, the Humans under Emperor [[Baium]] now turned against the Orcs, their armies marching over the old trade road on Rion. The Orcs were no match against the superior numbers of the Humans. They had to give up their capital and to retreat to the safety of the Immortal Plateau.

The refugees built for themselves a fortress-like village in the westernmost corner of the Immortal Plateau, in a place sheltered by high mountains from the ocean winds. There was nothing the [[Humans]] wanted on the Immortal Plateau, so they left the Orcs alone. Technically part of [[Schuttgart|Schuttgart Territory]], [[Orc Village]] only has to pay a reduced tax rate and is otherwise not a major factor in the power struggles within the [[Kingdom of Elmore]]. The tribal chiefs are wise enough to keep their distance from the Humans, no matter whether they are followers of [[Einhasad]], [[Shilen]] or [[Triol]].

[[image:NaiaFireSpore.jpg|center]]<br>

[[Naia]] is a very ancient nature goddess, what in some cultures is called "Gaia" or "Mother Earth". Some time after [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] had created the various aspects of nature, as personified in their children [[Maphr]] (Earth), [[Pa'agrio]] (Fire), [[Shilen]] (Water) and [[Sayha]] (Wind), those Elements had coagulated into a unified goddess of Nature. While the various races had their own protective deities, [[Orcs]] praying to [[Pa'agrio]], [[Dwarves]] to [[Maphr]] etc., some tribes in outlying regions took to worshiping Nature as a whole. Especially on the island at present known as [[Hellbound]], where due to particular geological conditions Naia is living very close under the surface of the earth, the worship of Mother Nature was very popular among the native population. In the western part of the island, Naia's crystalline "tendrils", the Naia Failan, are even growing above ground - a goddess that can be observed on a daily basis.

But seeing a goddess and communicating with a goddess are two different things. For the latter purposes the natives of [[Hellbound]] had soothsayers and seers, a better form of shamans, who could via an inherited third eye get directly in contact with Naia. The last in that long line of shamans was Hannibal, who was killed by [[Beleth]] when he first arrived on the island. This cruel deed served two purposes - first of all the native population was now bereft of their spiritual leadership and became an easy prey for Beleth and his minions, and on the other hand Beleth had thus obtained a monopoly over Naia. What Beleth was after was the enormous energy, the energy of raw life, that was contained and manifested in Naia. In the western part of the island, the Naia Failan offered easy access to that energy. Therefore Beleth's assistant and chief engineer Tully built a magical array, called "Enchanted Megaliths", around those outgrowths, which captured Naia's energy and sent it on to the Steel Citadel.

This energy was sufficient to maintain the day-to-day operations of Beleth's military headquarter. But [[Beleth]] wanted more. When he had Tully build the Steel Citadel, he told the Dwarf to design the Tower of Naia, the main tower of the fortress, with a deep basement from where he could tap directly into Mother Earth herself. Chief Engineer Tully solved the problem in a brilliant way. From the cellar floor he drilled into the ground and installed above the hole a huge "cauldron" which he equipped with a magical force field to keep the barely aware goddess under control.<br>

[[image:Naia5.jpg|592px|center]]<br>

Tully could only achieve a very fragile equilibrium though. All that stands between order and chaos is one Mutated Elpy, a small creature brought forth by Naia, which lives in the basement. When adventurers succeed in fighting their way through the Tower down to the bottommost room and recklessly kill the Elpy, the containment field collapses and all hell breaks loose. The pressure which has built up under the surface gets suddenly released and Naia falls apart into the various components that originally made her up. An unending stream of Naia Spores comes welling up out of the cauldron, Fire Salamanders, Earth Golems, Wind Sylphs and Water Naiads, the spirits of Nature itself.

Being but minuscule parts of Mother Naia, the Spores themselves are not very strong or dangerous; well-armored fighters can easily withstand their assault, and killing them is no problem at all. The real challenge is to bring order into the chaos that was unleashed. This can be done. Naia herself consists to equal parts of the essences of Fire, Earth, Water and Wind, something that no mortal can deal with. But by creating a disequilibrium among the various Elements, giving one of them a greater weight than all the others, the stream of Spores can be stopped. When that point is reached, most of the remaining Naia Spores coagulate into a feral creature, a so-called "Epidos", which embodies one of the four Elements, the Element which is at that moment strongest in the room.<br>

[[image:Epidos3.jpg|592px|center]]<br>

The Epidos is certainly not weak, but also not especially strong. Although it uses fierce, Element-backed attacks, small groups of ten or twenty adventurers have been known to kill it. And once the Epidos is down, [[Beleth]] has lost a major part of the energy that fuels his magic. Being left to his own devices, unable to tap into the earth itself, the ruler of [[Hellbound]] has become vulnerable. Now it is possible for intrepid heroes to challenge Beleth in his throne room.

The Anghel Waterfall is several hundred meters high and was created by divine power. Originally it was only a very small waterfall. But when the [[Giants]] had to flee after their failed rebellion against the gods, [[Gran Kain]] lifted up the earth on which the giants stood at the time, the resulting cliff hindering [[Einhasad]]'s chase. Einhasad had ordered her daughter [[Maphr]], Goddess of Earth, to lower the plateau, threatening her that she would end up like her sister [[Shilen]], but Gran Kain interfered, thus saving the Giants whose descendants are now living in a warren of caves east of [[Town of Aden|Aden]]. The plateau remained as it was, and since it was the god Gran Kain who had created it, the huge waterfall is now called Angel resp. Anghel Waterfall.

At present the Anghel Waterfall is guarded by [[Fierce Tiger King Angel]], a former officer in the celestial army who had killed his superior and fled to the earth.

[[Eva]] is the fifth and youngest child of [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]]. When she was born, there were no Elements remaining for her to control. So, while the other gods worked hard at their tasks, [[Shilen]] making water rise from the seas and fall down as rain, [[Sayha]] ensuring that the winds were blowing the clouds in the right direction, [[Pa'agrio]] making the excess water dry off and [[Maphr]] causing the earth to bear fruit, Eva whiled away her days writing poetry and composing music.

Then, after Einhasad had found out about [[Shilen]]'s affair with [[Gran Kain]] and banished her from the abode of the gods, Eva was given her sister's position as a water goddess. But Eva had a timid nature and after witnessing her elder sister's terrible demise that led to the war of the gods, she became even more fearful. In order to avoid the weighty responsibility that had fallen upon her, she dug a tunnel at the bottom of a lake and hid - which is why she is also known as the "Lady of the Lake".

With no goddess to rule over them, the spirits of water were without purpose and began to wander aimlessly. Too much water flowed to one place and formed a great marsh. Water did not flow at all in another place and there a desert formed. Often it even happened that parts of the continent suddenly sank into the ocean or a new island suddenly sprang out of nowhere. In some places, it rained day and night until everything except the tips of the highest mountains were submerged.

Where any piece of land remained above water, all the living creatures flocked to preserve their life, and that place fell to pandemonium. Both on the continent and in the ocean, all the living creatures were suffering. Finally the [[Giants]], on behalf of all the living creatures, pleaded with the gods to help.

[[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] searched everywhere on the continent and finally found the lake under which Eva was hiding: "Eva, look what happened because you avoided your responsibility. You are destroying the harmony of this continent that we created with all of our efforts. I will not tolerate it if you continue to disobey me." Einhasad was so furious that her eyes burned bright with roaring flames.

Due to the floods, countless [[Giants]] and other living creatures died, joining the ranks of [[Shilen]]'s Underworld. This made [[Einhasad]] again jealous of her oldest daughter. Finally Eva, trembling with fear, surrendered to her raging mother. When Eva took over her authority to adjust the waters, the disasters gradually ceased. However, it was impossible to restore the continent that lay in ruins.

The [[Giants]] are the most famous among the [[Genesis Creatures]] which were born immediately after [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] had broken free from the Primeval Globe at the beginning of time. They were known as the Wise Ones, for their intelligence was as great as their bodies strong. The Giants promised to keep faith in [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]], as it was the actions of those two gods that created their life and world. Einhasad and Gran Kain in turn were satisfied with the Giants and appointed them to be the masters of all living creatures.

In the course of time the Giants created an amazing civilization, with an extremely high technological level but at the same time keeping the "lesser races", i.e. Humans, Orcs, Dwarves and Elves, as slaves. Among themselves, however, they had no real hierarchy, their nominal ruler, the "First Titan", being primus inter pares. Their capital was Arvitaire, a big city in the northeast of what is now known as the continent of [[Gracia]], and on this continent a lot of their technology can still be found today. But apart from that, the Giant scientists built research facilities all over the world, the most well-known being [[Pavel Ruins|Pavel's Laboratory]] in Elmore and the [[Cruma Tower]] near the modern [[Town of Dion]].

Originally the Giants were truly devoted to [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]]. After some time, however, they began to harbor skepticism in their hearts. Gran Kain had already proved his own stupidity by making lowly living creatures called Humans. In addition, as a consequence of Gran Kain's lewd conduct and Einhasad's jealousy, [[Shilen]] had created the Underworld and various demons came into existence. Due to [[Eva]]'s weakness and incompetence, the continent was badly out of shape. Seeds of doubt began to sprout in the minds of the Giants. Did such gods deserve their worship?

The Giants could ride chariots made with their own hands and freely go in and out of the gods' palace. They could use magic to lift up islands and live in the air like gods. They could prolong their life span until it seemed like they would live forever. Finally the Giants began to think that their power was equal to that of the gods. In spite of their wisdom, they became excessively arrogant. And thus the Giants set out to become gods.

They built a huge laboratory complex on what is now known as the [[Isle of Souls]] and began to experiment by modifying living organisms to create new forms of life, grafting arms on flightless birds - the Muertos - and wings on Elves, which resulted in the Kamael. Intoxicated by their power, the Giants organized a strong army of their creatures to fight against the gods, in spite of the previous failure of [[Shilen]], who had been supported by six great dragons and numerous demons.

The gods saw the preparations and were enraged. Especially [[Einhasad]], who claimed the sole right to create life, was speechless with fury. She swore to destroy all Giants along with the continent and the entire world. [[Gran Kain]] pleaded with her to remain calm: "Much as you are the Mother of Creation," he argued, "so is destruction my responsibility. You know too well what I had to go through when I coveted your task. I will myself punish the Giants for their arrogant conduct. Yet if you still want to destroy the entire world, I will fight you with everything I have." Gran Kain did not want to allow the destruction of the continent no matter what and Einhasad was greatly offended by Gran Kain's intervention. However, as they were of equal status, she could not stop him.

[[Einhasad]] compromised in the end. In order to punish the Giants, she decided to borrow Gran Kain's hammer - known as the Hammer of Despair. Due to its great destructive power, even Gran Kain had never used the weapon. Yet in her fury, Einhasad lifted the hammer high above her head and brought it down in the center of Arvitaire.

Only when red flames rained from the heavens did the Giants realize that they had committed a foolish error. They reached up with their combined strength to thwart Einhasad's angered delivery of the Hammer of Despair. Yet even with the Giants' might, they merely altered the direction of the hammer slightly, and it still grazed Arvitaire as it descended upon the world. That was enough to destroy the world's greatest city; countless Giants as well as their servants from other races were instantly crushed. A large hole was left in the earth and immense waves covered its surface. All that remains now of Arvitaire is the resulting bay by the name of "Devastated City".

[[image:GraciaGiants1.jpg|center]]

<br>

Those Giants who survived the destruction fled to the east to avoid [[Einhasad]]'s anger. Their route paralleled that of [[Shilen]] in her earlier flight. Einhasad continued to hunt them down and burned the fleeing Giants to death one by one with bolts of lightning. The remaining fugitives trembled in fear and implored [[Gran Kain]]: "Gran Kain, Gran Kain! We have realized the error of our ways. Only you can halt the rage and madness of Einhasad. Do not let us perish, we who have been born from the same place as yourself, we who are the wisest and strongest creatures in the land!"

When he heard their desperate prayers, Gran Kain suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of pity for these poor creatures and thought that the Giants had suffered enough for their transgression. He lifted up the deepest waters of the southern seas and blocked Einhasad's path.

[[Einhasad]] shouted in anger, "'What is this? Who dares to interfere with me? [[Eva]], my beloved daughter, rid the water that blocks my path this instant or be ready to follow in the footsteps of your elder sister!"

[[Eva]] feared [[Einhasad]] and immediately returned the waters to the sea. Then Einhasad continued to chase the Giants, killing them one by one. The Giants cried out to Gran Kain again: "Gran Kain! The mightiest of the gods! Einhasad continues to chase us, determined to exterminate us! We pray to you, please have mercy and save us!"

Gran Kain lifted up the earth on which the Giants stood. The great cliff hindered Einhasad's chase and she shouted in a loud voice: "[[Maphr]], my beloved daughter! Who dares to interfere with me? Set the land down this instant. Or be ready to follow the path of your sister!"

Fearful at these words, [[Maphr]] tried to lower the earth, but Gran Kain stopped her and said to his wife: "Einhasad, why do you not give up? The whole land knows your anger and trembles before your wrath. The wise but foolish Giants feel their wrongdoing to their very core. See for yourself! Those proud and noble creatures - who at one time ruled the earth - are hiding on a narrow strip of land and shaking in fear as they seek to escape you! No longer can they challenge the gods. This place will eternally be the Giants' prison. Calm your rage, your revenge is complete."

[[Einhasad]] continued to rage, but she could not act against Gran Kain's wishes - he possessed strength equal to her own. She decided that, as Gran Kain had said, it would be better to leave the Giants on that narrow, barren land to forever repent their sins rather than to kill them all. She ended her hunt and returned to her home. The piece of land that [[Gran Kain]] had lifted up to shield the Giants from Einhasad's wrath is today known as "Abandoned Plateau", it is the territory from where the famous [[Anghel Waterfall]] is thundering down.

The Giants found shelter in some caves east of what is now known as [[Town of Aden]]. They tried to rebuild their old culture, defying gravity with floating buildings and experimenting on other creatures. But ultimately all they produced was a mockery of their ancient glory: the entrance halls to their caves being anchored by bridges to solid ground, their vivisectionist experiments never getting beyond peeling the skin off some Kranrot bears, making them furious with pain. Those last Giants were never enough individuals to form a healthy breeding population. They degenerated physically and are now dependent on mechanical aids to move around, using weapons they can barely wield and fearfully staying together in small groups. The Humans who now rule the land call them derisively "Lesser Giants", hunting them for the ancient books they carry around with them as talismans, not being able any more to read them.

[[image:Lilith.jpg|center]]<br>

[[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness|Lilith]] originally was an oracle, gifted with second sight, who served the First Titan, the ruler of the [[Giants]]. She had already been worshiping [[Shilen]] when the latter was still a goddess of water, and she stayed faithful to her idol even after Shilen was banished from the heavens by [[Einhasad]]. Like many others, Lilith thought that it had been [[Gran Kain]] who was at fault, having seduced his own daughter, and that Einhasad should have taken revenge on her husband instead of the young goddess.

The way [[Shilen]] reacted to her banishment, creating the Underworld as her own power base, taking on the forces of heaven and remaining true to herself even in defeat, all that appealed a lot to Lilith and made her worship Shilen even more fervently. When the Giants, who nominally were devout followers of [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]], started getting disenchanted with the gods, Lilith used her position as state oracle to confirm them in their view of the gods as a decadent clan of antisocial and subintelligent creatures. In subtle ways, some say under direct orders from Shilen, she encouraged the Giants' war plans, hoping that they could destroy the gods and Shilen be avenged.

Things turned out differently. The [[Giants]] suffered a total defeat, and when [[Einhasad]] brought down her husband's Hammer of Despair on their capital city, Lilith perished together with countless other Giants. But her faithfulness to Shilen was rewarded. During the rule of Emperor [[Shunaiman]], she was reborn as Shilen's ninth daughter and given immortal life, her name being deleted from the list of the dead by Shilen herself. Completely loyal to Shilen and equipped with a new, powerful body she does everything to hasten her return.

It was Lilith who in the early years of the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]] guided the [[Children of Shilen]] in the construction of their underground temples, later called "Catacombs", and whole cities under the earth, the so-called "Necropoli", which served both as a safe place to live and as military strongholds. The worshipers of Shilen believe that the Necropoli are located in places that are precisely in the middle between this life and the next life and that for this reason they will not die when they are killed there. The Necropoli were built in a style that was derived from the construction style used widely for temples and official buildings in the early years of the Elmoreden Empire. As can be seen from the irregular layout with standardized rooms connected by labyrinthine corridors, the Necropoli were constructed over a longer period of time, with new rooms being added again and again. Although the Necropoli were built by devout followers of [[Shilen]], they do not contain any statues or frescoes of the goddess. In this respect Lilith was still under the influence of the old [[Giants|Giant]] culture, where the direct depiction of religious matters was frowned upon. Instead, a great number of statues showing guard soldiers were put up, which served as magical protectors of the underground cities.

After a series of increasingly frequent conflicts with the ruling classes of the Empire, which had eventually led to a full-scale war, Lilith, together with her great opponent [[Anakim]], was sealed up by [[Shunaiman|Emperor Shunaiman]] in the Disciple's Necropolis, in the far north-east of Aden Territory. This does not prevent her from working indefatigably for [[Shilen]]'s return though. Secretly instigating conflicts between the Human nations as well as between Humans and Elves she produces a great number of dead warriors, experienced soldiers whom she resurrects to serve in her undead army, the so-called "Lilim", waiting to march forth as soon as Shilen has broken through the Forbidden Gateway.

Among Shilen's followers, Lilith is known as the [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness|Holy Mother of Darkness]], i.e. she is not only the Commander in Chief of the Lilim army but also their spiritual leader, acting as Shilen's spokeswoman while the goddess can not yet leave the Underworld. In a way she is still acting as an oracle, like in her previous life with the [[Giants]]. But unlike those days, there are now quite a number of people who have no respect at all for her, even trying to kill her. That is not so easy, however. Lilith is a very strong Demon who uses Dark-backed attacks on anybody who tries to challenge her, rooting them to the ground so that she, together with her Agents and Escorts, can easily finish them off. Lilith and her Agents resist Dark attacks, while her Escorts can not be pierced by Dagger and Rapier. Lilith's Agents are using a toxin of grade 8 that slowly reduces the life force of anybody affected by it. Therefore adventurers would be well advised to bring a Cardinal who has mastered the ability to cleanse his comrades from such noxious influences.

In spite of all these obstacles, adventurers do occasionally succeed in killing Lilith. On such occasions they may obtain a rather good weapon from the armory of the Lilim, like for example a Draconic Bow or a Forgotten Blade. But as has been pointed out above, [[Shilen]] has given her daughter immortal life, and 16~24 hours after she has been killed, Lilith will be up again to see to her duties as commander of the Lilim army.

[[Einhasad]], the origin of all things, one day emitted a light to the heavens and earth. The rays of light that emanated in all directions had their own will and formed bodies in the shape of their creator, entities that were later called "angels". The light those angels in their turn emitted was so bright that they could not stay on the earth. Wandering around aimlessly they were eventually taken in by Einhasad, who gave them work as her servants. Since she alone could not supervise the army of angels, Einhasad had another nine children and set them up as their leaders.

The youngest of the nine children was [[Anakim]], who mostly assumed the form of a woman with three pairs of wings. [[Einhasad]] is said to have regarded her youngest daughter as her voice to carry her will to the creatures of the land. Anakim is an agent of light, surrounded in the flames of spirits, bringing down the power of revelation to the land, or to be more precise, acting as Einhasad's liaison with Emperor [[Shunaiman]]. By giving Shunaiman her own blood, she bestowed upon him the power to control the Nephilim combat machines, and by kissing him on the forehead she enabled him to communicate with the [[Monastery of Silence|Grail of Splendor]], in other words, to wield the power of light. In a religious sense here manifestation at Shunaiman's coronation was a "miracle", but it is also a historical fact. It was Anakim floating down from the sky, apparently giving Shunaiman's rule a "holy blessing", that provided the Emperor with the authority to rule over he continent, persecuting anybody who dared to speak up against him. For Shunaiman, Anakim was was a weapon as important as the magic of light.

Then, however, while Anakim was leading the Nephilim and [[Shunaiman]]'s Imperial Crusaders in an attack on the Disciple's Necropolis, trying to root out the [[Children of Shilen]], she accidentally, or not so accidentally, got sealed in together with her dark counterpart and eternal enemy, [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness]]. Cursing Shunaiman for his betrayal, she attacks with Holy Light Bursts anybody who dares to put a finger on her. And she is not fighting alone. Seven Nephilim remained with her, two Royal Guards, two Executors and three Guardians who heal her when adventurers turn from being a nuisance to becoming a serious danger. If a group of reckless fighters succeeds in overcoming the Sacred Flame, as Anakim is often called, they may find on her rather good weapons, like for example an Angel Slayer dagger, an Arcana Mace, or an Imperial Staff.

[[Shunaiman]] was originally the leader of the [[Athena]], an association of Human mages and the most powerful among the clans and "kingdoms" that emerged after the [[Giants|Fall of the Giants]]. Soon doing magical research was not longer enough for him and he set out to unite the regions currently known as Aden and Elmore. He called his kingdom Elmore-Aden (later contracted to "[[Elmoreden]]") and enthroned himself as emperor. The tree branch crown adorning the brow of his ancestors when they were still savage half-apes stealing the secrets of magic from the Elves became a gold crown with glittering jewels to set upon his head. As emblem for the new empire he chose a double headed eagle, symbolizing Elmore and Aden united in one strong body and wielding two swords at once.

Emperor [[Shunaiman]] worried over the life limitation of the Humans. The fact that [[Gran Kain]], god of destruction, was their creator made the [[Humans]] feel inferior to the other races, especially the [[Elves]]. Additionally, the tales that they were created from the leftovers of other races was deeply humiliating to these new rulers of the land. For the new empire, Shunaiman needed a new myth; a new history that would prove them noble beings.

Eventually, and through large-scale religious reform, [[Shunaiman]] made [[Einhasad]] the goddess of Humans instead of [[Gran Kain]]. Myth and history were changed and those practicing black magic, as well as the followers of [[Gran Kain]], were persecuted. The religious reform continued for generations and eventually all Humans believed that Einhasad, the goddess of good, was their creator and Gran Kain was simply the god of evil.

After the [[Giants|Fall of the Giants]] their former slave races started to squabble among themselves, vying for supremacy on the continent.

The most notable of those groups was the so-called [[Athena]], an association of sorcerers and mages. While the other "kingdoms" mainly engaged in some small-scale agriculture, being exceedingly proud of themselves when they made the leap from pottery to bronze production, the Athena operated on quite a different level. They protected their numbers with their magical power, kept order through threats, and occasionally became involved in small and large battles, until finally their leader [[Shunaiman]] united the regions currently known as Aden and Elmore. He called his kingdom Elmor-Aden (later contracted to "[[Elmoreden]]") and enthroned himself as emperor.

[[Shunaiman]], the leader of the [[Athena]], was not only a renowned mage but also a gifted politician. Through a combination of negotiations and threats he succeeded in uniting the regions currently known as Aden and Elmore, calling the new kingdom Elmor-Aden (later contracted to "[[Elmoreden]]") and enthroning himself as Emperor.

During the coronation ceremony a miracle happened. A girl with three pairs of wings came down from the heavens surrounded by holy fire. With a clear, bright voice, she explained that she was [[Anakim]], envoy of [[Einhasad]] and that she had come to the land to bring the blessing of the gods to Shunaiman, the leader of all Humans. Shunaiman immediately realized the chance that was offered to him. There was no more necessity to justify his bid for power with political reasons; all he needed to do was to claim that he had united the continent out of a religious fervor. Anakim walked up to Shunaiman, who was kneeling on the ground with bent head, and whispered into his ear the promise that he and all his descendants would by Einhasad's will forever live under the Blessing of Light. Then she spread her wings and flew up to the sky again.

Shortly afterwards the newly crowned Emperor announced that mankind had been created by [[Einhasad]], Einhasad supported him as the leader of mankind, and in his Empire the worship of Einhasad was to be the one and only true religion; all others were heterodox cults. Shunaiman's religious reforms did not stop at the theoretical level, at civilized academic debate. He declared an all out holy war on anybody who dared to point out the blatant falseness of his claim, especially on all those who worshipped [[Gran Kain]], who was opposed to Einhasad, and [[Shilen]], the daughter Einhasad had disowned. Everybody at the time knew fully well that mankind had in reality been created by [[Gran Kain]], cooked together from the leftovers and refuse that remained after the other races had been shaped, but that was a fact that was hard to accept. The [[Einhasad]] version gave Humans far more self-esteem. As a consequence the Einhasad religion quickly spread through the lands, especially since the nobility found it to their advantage that they could claim to rule with divine blessing and on divine orders, therefore fully supporting Shunaiman who could in this way constantly expand the power base of the imperial family.

But not everybody was willing to bow to the Emporer's might. Especially the [[Children of Shilen]] proved to be a major problem, persistently refusing to surrender to the Imperial Army. Knowing themselves to speak the truth, they were able to constantly recruit new members, in spite of the systematic oppression and regular pogroms. The Children of Shilen were far more numerous and fanatical than Shunaiman realized. Accepting death as an inevitable part of life, they were fearless fighters, not in the least awed by seemingly overwhelming numbers of their opponents but joyfully sacrificing themselves in fierce attacks, knowing that when they got killed they would be united with Mother Shilen in the Underworld.

[[image:Nephilim.jpg|120px|left]]

In order to deal with this insurrection, Shunaiman created with the divine power that was bestowed upon him by [[Einhasad]]'s daughter [[Anakim]] an army of robot-like soldiers. These warriors of steel were moving with the force of light, wearing giant, almost impenetrable suits of armor. They were called "[[Nephilim]]", which means "army of strong angels on the earth". In a long war of attrition, the followers of [[Shilen]] were repeatedly defeated by the overwhelming power of the Nephilim, a great part of them returning into the fold of their Mother. In the end, the [[Children of Shilen]] as a religious organization had to disband, their members scattering throughout the land or hiding in ancient temples deep underground. Most of the remaining "heretics" were burned at the stake or evicted beyond the borders until the Emperor and the Einhasad Church were the undisputed rulers of the continent.

As outside threats eventually dissipated, Emperor Shunaiman applied his efforts to consolidate [[Elmoreden]] internally. In the ten years that followed, the new Empire became strong, controlling the entire continent through large-scale development and territorial expansion. Castles were built and lords appointed, taxes collected, and the economy steadily grew. Around this time, some [[Children of Shilen]] who had escaped the previous pogroms proclaimed again their faith among the populace. The Emperor, who had always remained alert to a reawakening of the Shilen cult, ordered his lords to punish them, but they were unable to drive these zealots from the lands of [[Elmoreden]] since the Children of Shilen received considerable support from the simple people. Though many died in these campaigns, on both sides, the Emperor would not relent. Shunaiman mobilized the [[Nephilim|Nephilim Army]] again, ordering them to track down the heretics. During their search-and-destroy missions, the Nephilim discovered the six underground temples the worshippers of [[Shilen]] had secretly established.

[[image:Lilim.jpg|115px|right]]

Shunaiman called these underground temples the Catacombs, because he fully intended them to become a graveyard for those who rejected the new [[Einhasad]] religion. In his crusader vocabulary the Emperor gave the six Catacombs the following names:<br>
- Catacomb of the Heretic<br>
- Catacomb of the Branded<br>
- Catacomb of the Apostate<br>
- Catacomb of the Witch<br>
- Catacomb of Dark Omens<br>
- Catacomb of the Forbidden Path<br>

Shunaiman's armies, with the [[Nephilim]] in the front line, incessantly attacked the underground temples where Shilen's devotees were hiding. However, victory was not an easy thing to obtain; each time the soldiers penetrated deeper into the Catacombs, they were faced with defeat and had to withdraw. In order to protect the temples, undead warriors called "[[Lilim]]" were swarming up in tremendous numbers, quickly overcoming the government forces. The Lilim had been created by [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness]] by using the dark magic of [[Shilen]], and they were not in the least impressed by the Nephilim. As they were unafraid of death, having already died, these undead knew not how to retreat on the battlefield.

After an extended and all-consuming campaign, Shunaiman's army finally succeeded in defeating the forces of [[Shilen]], but the imperial troops were severely decimated in the process. Countless corpses of the [[Lilim]] and [[Nephilim]], as well as those of their allies, the Lith resp. Gigants, were scattered about the underground temples. When he was certain that no-one was able to challenge his authority any more, Shunaiman cast a '''Seal of Gnosis''' on all the Catacombs. This first of the Seven Seals was so-named because it was a miracle achieved through divine knowledge, in the old language called "gnosis", revealed to the Emperor by [[Anakim]]. Entombed deep underground, the groups of undead that followed [[Shilen]] began to disappear from memory.

It is said that in the process of casting the Seal of Gnosis, Emperor Shunaiman had gained the ability to know the future, both for himself and for all his descendants. Perhaps this was derived from the power of [[Einhasad]], that of [[Shilen]], or from [[Gran Kain]] who had in truth created mankind. Some even say that Shunaiman had pressured Einhasad into giving him that power, offering the goddess in exchange to prevent Shilen from returning to the world of the living. However that may have been, soon after the Seal of Gnosis was cast, the ceremony just over, the followers of [[Einhasad]] witnessed a black snake slithering on the ground. This was a sign of an unfortunate threat soon to be revealed true. The adherents of [[Shilen]] thrived under [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness|Lilith]]'s leadership, greatly enhancing their forces and reestablishing the army of [[Lilim]] in the eight underground cities of the Necropoli:<br>
- Necropolis of Sacrifice<br>
- Pilgrim's Necropolis<br>
- Necropolis of Worship<br>
- Patriot's Necropolis<br>
- Necropolis of Devotion<br>
- Necropolis of Martyrdom<br>
- Saint's Necropolis<br>
- Disciple's Necropolis<br>

Safely entrenched in the Necropoli, the followers of [[Shilen]] performed ceremonies to call forth their goddess from the Underworld. The Emperor soon came to know about this, but having lost the majority of his army in the fight for control of the Catacombs, Shunaiman was unable to force his citizens into war, yet again to deal with the forces of Shilen. In this situation a Dwarf appeared before the Emperor. He introduced himself as representative of a Dwarven guild called "[[Merchants of Mammon]]" and offered Shunaiman to lend him funds to form a new military. The suspicious Emperor asked about his motives. The Dwarf from the Mammon Guild explained that his group had been supporting the [[Children of Shilen]], but the stars overseeing the fate of times had changed. Therefore, they decided to do business with the forces of [[Einhasad]], who were newly foreseen as the victors. Although this mysterious Dwarf group seemed untrustworthy, the Emperor could perceive no falsehood in the Dwarf's words. The weapons and armor he offered were of such high quality they were difficult to refuse. So the Emperor and the Merchants of Mammon signed a contract: the Merchants of Mammon would supply Shunaiman with funds and military equipment, and in return their trading with all sides in this conflict would be left unhindered.

Knowing fully well that the [[Merchants of Mammon]] were also trading with the enemy, Emperor Shunaiman nevertheless made himself sponsor of this guild. With their help he was able to form a new [[Nephilim|Nephilim Army]] and launch an attack on the Necropoli. That he was able to lead such a holy war was thanks to none other than [[Anakim]], the representative of [[Einhasad]]. In the darkness of the underground temples, the government troops and the forces of [[Shilen]] fought fiercely. Blood scattered in all directions, filling the rivers, seas, and even the skies with a red energy. The people trembled when they saw that, but the Emperor with his abilities of divination realized that a new era was beginning. Silently, he waited until the time was right.

[[image:SealingDevice.jpg|160px|right]]

Eventually, [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness|Lilith]], daughter of [[Shilen]], cloaked herself in the power of Darkness and arose, but [[Anakim]] came forward to block her. This girl of pure white floated in the air on three pairs of wings. The final victor of the battle was neither Anakim nor Lilith, however, but Shunaiman. After the armies of Light and Darkness had entered into the Disciple's Necropolis, some distance to the north of the imperial capital at [[Town of Aden|Aden]], Shunaiman installed deep down in there a set of four sealing devices arranged in a circle, many of his men dying in the process and the Emperor himself getting severely wounded. Anakim succeeded in luring Lilith into the circle, engaging her in a fight. But then the Emperor induced an adventurer who had traveled through time from the future to activate the sealing devices while Anakim was still in the circle, creating a magical force field that entombed Lilith along with Einhasad's daughter. This force field was later called the '''Seal of Avarice'''. One might guess this is due to the secret contract between the Emperor and the [[Merchants of Mammon]]. Although whether it was the Merchants' avarice or the Emperor's avarice is open to discussion. Fact is that the adventurer who had activated the Seal had used the selfsame teleportation device the Merchants of Mammon used for traveling between the various Catacombs and Necropoli.

While [[Lilith, Holy Mother of Darkness|Lilith]] and her army of undead were imprisoned in the Disciple's Necropolis by the Seal of Avarice, the [[Children of Shilen]] remained above ground, retreating for the time being to the continent of [[Gracia]]. And apart from that organization there were a great number of other persons who rejected Shunaiman's religious reforms: those who still clung to the belief of the [[Giants]], black magicians who worshipped demons, Elven tribes that returned to [[Eva]], Dark Elves who had always followed [[Shilen]], they all challenged the absolute authority of the [[Einhasad]] priests. Some of them insisted they had received a revelation from Lilith, others appeared to have come into possession of huge treasures, so it can be safely assumed that although Lilith herself was imprisoned, her agents were very much active in the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]].

Emperor Shunaiman could control the enormous area of the Empire because he had harnessed the power of Sacredness by communing with the [[Monastery of Silence|Grail of Splendor]], an item that had originally belonged to the [[Giants]]. Feeling secure in his position as the ruler of the biggest Empire on the continent, being at the same time the supreme leader of the Einhasad Church and firmly holding the power of the two Seals, Shunaiman started to teach his aides the secret of interacting with the Grail of Splendor so that he could rule his dominion more efficiently. With the same aim in mind he established a new administrative system that divided the Empire into several Territories, each with a castle and a fortified town at the center - Gludio, Giran, Dion etc. Through this system Shunaiman's power reached to the most outlying areas of the Empire and he had absolute control over everything that went on within the borders of [[Elmoreden]].

It is recorded that during all the years spent reorganizing the Empire, Shunaiman did not age at all, an effect that is commonly assumed to have been caused by the power of the Seals. Being the undisputed ruler of the whole continent, being granted a seemingly eternal life - one could almost believe that Shunaiman was literally a god on earth. But then, perhaps as punishment of the real gods for Shunaiman's arrogance, the [[Children of Shilen]], who had, unnoticed beyond the ocean, constantly gained strength, took the West Sea Bridge that connected [[Gracia]] with the continent near [[Gludin Village]] and invaded the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]]. When the commanders of the Imperial Army first saw that raggedy gang of invaders, made up of barbarian warriors and undead, they scornfully laughed. And in fact, the [[Children of Shilen]], having no experience in large-scale siege wars, seemed unable to take the castles. Then, however, [[Town of Gludio|Gludio]] fell within one single day, and [[Town of Dion|Dion]] soon followed without having put up any serious resistance. Shilen's devotees had inexplicably found a way to control the Grail of Splendor from the outside and using that holy relic to their advantage when laying siege to the castles of the Empire.

By the time the leadership of the Imperial Army realized the seriousness of the situation, [[Town of Giran|Giran Castle]] too had already fallen to the [[Children of Shilen]]. Now Shunaiman took a fateful decision. He cast a spell that sealed up the Grail of Splendor and severed the connection between the relic and the castles in each Territory. As a result, although he gave up a great part of his power to control the castles, the enemy could not control the castles they had occupied any more either. Having gained a position of strategic advantage again, the Imperial Army systematically counterattacked. They succeeded in retaking the captured castles and eventually pushed the forces of [[Shilen]] out of the Empire, back to [[Gracia]]. After that a third Seal was created, the '''Seal of Strife''', which gave control over all castles and Territories on the continent and bestowed the power to influence the parameters of siege wars.

Later on, Shunaiman cast four further Seals, the '''Seal of Awakening''', the '''Seal of Vengeance''', the '''Seal of Calamity''', and the '''Seal of Descent'''. It is so far not clear what effect precisely those Seals have, but scholars assume that the Seal of Awakening might have something to do with awakening hidden skills in warriors, and the Seal of Descent might be connected to the advent of a goddess, possibly [[Shilen]].

Emperor Shunaiman, who had the power to control all seven Seals, was like a god on earth. Yet, he knew that all this incredible power could drive the world to ruin, if held by only one person. Toward the end of his rule, Shunaiman was seeking for a way to pass control of the Seals to his successors. After considerable research he finally found out that those linked to himself by blood could inherit the power to control the Seals. This is the "Secret Held in the Imperial Bloodline" referred to by the Fighters of Dawn. For nearly a thousand years after Shunaiman's death, the firstborn of each generation of the Imperial House of Elmoreden was born with the power to control the Seven Seals. Each scion was, as he grew up, thoroughly educated in the methods of using that power.

But ShunaimanΓÇÖs legacy, passed on in the Imperial bloodline, came to an end with Emperor [[Baium]]. Having conquered everything that there was to conquer, Baium strove for even more than mere military might - he wanted to get access to the power that was used in the days of the First Emperor to create the [[Lilim]] and [[Nephilim]]. For this purpose he had the [[Tower of Insolence]] built, which was to serve as a conduit and help him absorb the power of the [[Lilim]] and [[Nephilim]] who were sealed in the Catacombs and Necropoli all over the southern half of the continent, ultimately enabling him to climb to the abode of the gods and demand the secret of eternal life from them. But his plan, both grand and foolhardy, ended in failure due to the intervention of [[Monastery of Silence|Saint Solina]]. The Tower of Insolence collapsed while the magic reversed, so the ancient energies that Baium had tried to absorb, enriched with the power that was flowing in his blood, was transferred back into the bodies of the Nephilim and Lillim.

With the downfall of [[Baium]], the Imperial House of [[Elmoreden]] lost forever the power to control the Seals. The so-called "Age of Chaos" broke out. Soon, however, it became apparent to the various groups that were chasing after the Secret of the Seals that this power had not disappeared, but rather lay, in the form of "Seal Stones", hidden in the bodies of [[Lilim]] and [[Nephilim]]. By gathering a great number of Seal Stones, one could gain the power to control the '''Seven Seals'''. After ancient documents had been excavated from the [[Tower of Insolence]], those who had first discovered this secret formed their troops into the '''Revolutionary Army of Dusk''' and the '''Lords of Dawn'''. They dispatched expedition forces to all the Catacombs and Necropoli, fiercely competing with each other about who could gather the most Seal Stones. This is how the strive between the two groups to control the Seals began ΓÇª

[[Maphr]] is the third child of [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]], she is the goddess of earth and wealth. Although Maphr always tries to avoid conflict, never daring to speak up against her mother, she is by no means dim-witted or dull. It was her who wrote the famous textbook on Absolute Geometry which later became known as "Maphr's Tablet". Absolute Geometry is the mathematical basis for the theory of moving objects, astronomy, navigation and all engineering, be it manufacturing or architecture. Maphr taught Absolute Geometry to the [[Dwarves]] and thus laid the foundation for the future economic success of the race she had helped create. On the statue the Dwarven merchants have erected for Maphr in the center of Giran, she is holding a so-called "sky disk" that was used by the early Dwarves for matching the Lunar Year with its 354 days to the 365 day Solar Year, for determining the summer and winter equinox and thereby the proper time for sowing seeds. In the [[Testimony of Prosperity]], young Dwarves setting out to become Bounty Hunters or Warsmiths still have to talk to farmer [[Piotur]] to learn about these things.

[[image:NebraScheibe.jpg|400px|center]]

But astronomy is only one application of Absolute Geometry. At least as important is the advanced technology that is made possible by that set of mathematical procedures. After the [[Giants]] had rebelled against the gods and were utterly defeated, the gods, fearing further attacks in the future, recovered Maphr's Tablet from the ruins of Arvitaire, broke it in twelve pieces and scattered those across the world. Naturally, the Dwarves are eager to get their hands on Maphr's Tablet again. The [[Black Anvil Guild]] has sent an investigation team to the [[Cruma Tower]], an old research institute of the Giants. There the team led by Maestro [[Nikola]] and researcher [[Lorain]] did in fact discover a locked box which they thought might contain fragments of the Tablet. Maestro Nikola could convince a young Dwarf eager to prove his mettle to sneak past the monsters in the Cruma Tower and open the box. It did contain one fragment of Maphr's Tablet that was later forwarded to the Elders in [[Dwarven Village]] for translation.

Apart from that, there exists a partial copy of Maphr's Tablet that Elder [[Cronos]] has made, a scholar who was already old when the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]] was founded. This copy, called by him "Scriptures of Knowlege", has six chapters which are meaningless unless one puts all of them together. Cronos is well aware of the dangerous potential of Maphr's Tablet. Therefore he makes sure that at least his copy does not fall into the hands of the [[Dwarves]] or, even worse, the power-hungry [[Humans]].

[[Shilen]] is the oldest child of [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]]. She was originally given charge of water, assuming the shape of a being that in some languages is called "naga" while in other languages the spelling is "snake". Shilen's father, [[Gran Kain]] was the least intelligent of all gods. He went and seduced his daughter, conducting an affair with her and at first successfully avoiding the eyes of his wife, [[Einhasad]], until Shilen became pregnant. When Einhasad found out, she became enraged. Stripping her daughter of her position as water goddess, Einhasad ordered Shilen banished from the abode of the gods. Gran Kain turned his back on the situation and Shilen was left to deal with her fate alone. The position of water goddess was given by Einhasad to her youngest daughter [[Eva]].

While pregnant, Shilen fled to the east. Deep in the middle of a dark forest, she gave birth - cursing [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] with each excruciating labor pain. The children born of Shilen's horrible labor bore the despair and anger of her curses and became demons. Among them, the strongest creatures were called "Dragons". There were a total of six Dragons born with curses against the six gods:<br>
- Antharas, the Dragon of Earth<br>
- Valakas, the Dragon of Fire<br>
- Fafurion, the Dragon of Water<br>
- Lindvior, the Dragon of Wind<br>
- Aulakiria, the Dragon of Light<br>
- Bael-Zael, the Dragon of Darkness

Shilen was filled with wrath towards [[Einhasad]] who had banished her, and towards [[Gran Kain]] who had seduced and then abandoned her, and her siblings who did not help her in her hour of need. Gathering the strength of her children, Shilen created an army to punish the gods. The Six Dragons, strongest among the demons, were ordered to be at the front of the army to fight against the gods. Hearing this, Aulakiria, the Dragon of Light, looked at Shilen with sad eyes and spoke: "Mother, you don't know what you are doing. Do you really want the eternal destruction of the gods? Do you really want your father, mother and siblings to fall down on the ground in pools of their own blood?"

Her appeal did not change Shilen's mind, and the demons invaded the palace of the gods. A fierce battle ensued, with the Six Dragons destroying everything in their path. Even the gods were intimidated by the incredible power of the Dragons. The battle seemed destined to continue forever. Yet, if the war did not stop, the world would cease to exist, and all living things would be annihilated. Numerous angels and demons were destroyed or fled in fear. Every day there was thunder and lightning, as strong forces clashed violently in the sky. The [[Giants]] and the other living creatures of earth trembled as they observed the terrible fight.

The fierce battle continued for several years, and eventually the balance gradually tilted towards one side. In spite of suffering many injuries, [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] had stronger powers and destroyed many demons. The Dragons kept fighting, even though they were deeply wounded and riddled with scars. Their fatigue became more and more apparent, and after a time it seemed like the war would come to an end with the extermination of Shilen's army. Finally the Dragons spread their wings and flew to the earth to escape. The surviving demons followed. The gods wanted to kill the retreating army. However, due to their own injuries, all they could do was watch as the Dragons and and other demons departed.

As Shilen's creatures perished one by one and the war was lost, Shilen could not stand her sadness. She retreated to the east, created the Underworld and ruled over it. Deeply embittered, Shilen, who had a lot of her father [[Gran Kain]], the God of Destruction, plotted revenge. In the course of time she created many different magical beings of hideous shape and utterly evil behavior, whom she controlled with Dark Bezoars, also known as Abyss Runestones, artificially created crystals implanted in their bodies.

In order to prevent her daughter from destroying everything she had created at the beginning of time, [[Einhasad]] eventually sealed up Shilen in the Underworld, using up most of her power in the process and becoming effectively helpless herself. Therefore she sent her youngest child, [[Anakim]], down to the earth, having her approach [[Shunaiman]], the mightiest ruler of the time, and bestow on him divine power, power he was to use to fight Shilen's troops, the [[Lilim]], and reinforce her imprisonment in the Underworld.

In the course of time, [[Shunaiman]] cast seven seals, the Seal of Gnosis, the Seal of Avarice, the Seal of Strife, the Seal of Awakening, the Seal of Vengeance, the Seal of Calamity, and the Seal of Descent. That effectively prevented Shilen from leaving the Underworld, and she fell into a deep sleep. The power of those Seven Seals could only be controlled by Shunaiman's direct descendants. After his bloodline came to an end with [[Baium]] and [[Frintezza]], however, the Age of Chaos broke out. Two major factions, the Lords of Dawn and the Revolutionaries of Dusk were striving for control of the Seals until eventually four of the seven Seals were broken. The fifth Seal has also become unstable, and Shilen, who has slept in the Darkness for so long, is opening her eyes.<br>

[[image:Synopsis0b.jpg|center]]

<br>

Just having regained consciousness, Shilen's first and foremost objective is to find a way to remove the Seal that is imprisoning her soul. To remove the Seal, the power of Einhasad must be removed, and for that a huge Sacrificial Ceremony is required. In a first step, Shilen lets in the darkness that has been created by her followers in the Catacombs and Necropoli rise a blood red moon, the "Moon of Shilen", which serves her as eye. With the Moon of Shilen she is surveying the world, assiduously searching for "sacrificial animals" which are suitable to be slaughtered in order to achieve her resurrection. No-one can hide from Shilen's probing eye. Under a sky dyed blood red, fear and terror are creeping into the world, unrest starts to spread in Aden and Elmore.

The first on the continent to realize that Shilen is stirring again are the [[Dark Elves]]. They know from [[Thifiell|Kaysha's Revelation]] that the appearance of the Moon of Shilen, sacrifices performed in the Catacombs and Necropoli, and the blood red sky are all signs and portents for the imminent resurrection of Shilen. They are now returning to their [[Dark Elven Village|Village]], gathering in the [[The Shilen Temple|Temple]] in big assemblies and praying for the advent of their goddess.

Among all the other races, the Moon of Shilen is causing an eery tension, an unspeakable trepidation. King Amadeo Cadmus of Aden, at the moment the mightiest ruler on the continent, can not help but notice what is going on among his subjects. Carrying the burden of responsibility for all of them, he summons the most famous scholars of the continent to the royal castle at [[Town of Aden|Aden]] and charges them with conducting research on the goddess of death. At the same time he is organizing an army which shall oppose the approaching forces of Shilen. Amadeo Cadmus is coming to realize that the endeavors to analyze the behavior of the goddess are quite futile.<br>

[[image:Synopsis3b.jpg|center]]

<br>

In that situation the great magician Einhovant, who is by now several hundred years old, appears and predicts that the continent will have to repeatedly undergo bitterness and pain. But Einhovant also says that if some persons could obtain the power of the [[Giants]], who had once challenged the gods and dared to fight with them on an even footing, the destruction of the world might be delayed. He suggests that the heroes of Aden and Elmore immediately start seeking the power of the Giants.

Although Einhovant is a mage of great renown, there is something vaguely disquieting about the old man. King Amadeo Cadmus is carefully pondering his suggestion, sitting there sunk deep in thought. Then Einhovant raises his voice: "Only by obtaining the power of the Giants, which is equal to that of the gods, the supremacy of mankind, its very existence, can be ensured!"

Long ago, in a time before thought, there was only a Globe in which all creation was mixed. As there was nothing with which to compare it, the globe was big and small, dark and bright, everything and nothing.

Over a hundred million years, the Globe began to grow and eventually two powers slowly began to form within. As they grew, the powers developed consciousness, becoming aware of their individuality, and separated into white light and darkness. White light formed as female and called itself [[Einhasad]]. The darkness formed as male and named itself [[Gran Kain]].

Einhasad and Gran Kain joined their strength to break out of the Globe, which shattered into pieces of all kinds. Soon after that, they married. Out of this marriage there issued five children: the oldest daughter was [[Shilen]], the oldest son was [[Pa'agrio]]. The second daughter was named [[Maphr]], the fourth child, again a son, was [[Sayha]]. Their youngest daughter was named [[Eva]].

Soon afterwards, [[Einhasad]] created, with the help of her children, the four elder races, [[Elves]], [[Orcs]], [[Dwarves]], and [[Arteias]]. When Gran Kain saw that, he became curious and jealous, wanting to create a race of his own. He imitated Einhasad and shaped a form in his image, asking his children to bestow spirit onto this form. But since [[Shilen]] and her siblings had already given their fine essences to Einhasad, all that remained for Gran Kain's attempt at creation was the spirit of stagnant and rotten water, the spirit of dying fire, the spirit of barren and contaminated earth, and the spirit of wild and violent wind.

Satisfied, Gran Kain took everything that was given to him and cried, "Look at the living creatures I am making! Look at they who are born with the spirit of Water, the spirit of Fire, the spirit of Earth and the spirit of Wind. They will be stronger and wiser than the Giants! They will rule the world!"

Gran Kain shouted with great pride to all the world and instilled life into the creatures of his own image. However, the result was terrible. His creatures, the so-called "[[Humans]]", were weak, stupid, sly, and cowardly. All the other gods despised Gran Kain's creatures. Overcome by the shame of his failure, Gran Kain abandoned his creation and went into hiding for a time.

Soon the god of chaos and destruction became restless again, however. Having reaped only scorn from his wife for his failed attempt at creation, he started an affair with his oldest daughter, [[Shilen]], who still admired her father in a way, thus becoming an easy prey for his lust. Promptly she became pregnant. When [[Einhasad]] found out about this, she became furious with rage. As it often goes, she did not blame her husband for his lewd behavior, but her daughter. Stripping [[Shilen]] of her position as water goddess, Einhasad ordered her banished from the abode of the gods. Like before with the [[Humans]], Gran Kain turned his back on the situation, and Shilen was left to deal with her fate alone.

The heavily pregnant girl fled to the east. Deep in the middle of a dark forest, she gave birth - cursing [[Einhasad]] and Gran Kain with each excruciating labor pain. The children born of [[Shilen]]'s horrible labor bore the despair and anger of her curses and became demons. Among them, the strongest creatures were called "Dragons". Shilen was filled with wrath towards Einhasad who had banished her, and towards Gran Kain who had seduced and then abandoned her, and her siblings who did not help her in her hour of need. Gathering the strength of her children, Shilen created an army to punish the gods. Aulakiria, the Dragon of Light, pleaded with her mother to abandon her plans. But Shilen would not be stopped, and the demons invaded the palace of the gods. A horrible war, lasting for several years, ensued. Countless angels and demons were killed, all as a result of Gran Kain's unrestrained behavior.

But calling Gran Kain just a "god of destruction" would be too simple. When the [[Giants]], disgusted with the disgraceful behavior of the gods, went to war against the heavens and suffered an utter defeat, it was Gran Kain who saved the last survivors from [[Einhasad]]'s wrath, and it was Gran Kain who hid the Giant's army of genetically engineered warriors, the Kamael, between dimensions, so that Einhasad could not find and destroy them. It was always Gran Kain who, due to a lack of intelligence, had caused the problems in the first place, but it was [[Einhasad]], the purported "goddess of creation", who had wreaked the actual destruction.

Einhasad

2023-05-22T00:52:35Z

[[image:Einhasad.jpg|800px|center]]<br>

Long ago, in a time before thought, there was only a Globe in which all creation was mixed. As there was nothing with which to compare it, the globe was big and small, dark and bright, everything and nothing.

Over a hundred million years, the Globe began to grow and eventually two powers slowly began to form within. As they grew, the powers developed consciousness, becoming aware of their individuality, and separated into white light and darkness. White light formed as female and called itself [[Einhasad]]. The darkness formed as male and named itself [[Gran Kain]].

Einhasad and Gran Kain joined their strength to break out of the Globe, which shattered into pieces of all kinds. Soon after that, they married. Out of this marriage there issued five children: the oldest daughter was [[Shilen]], the oldest son was [[Pa'agrio]]. The second daughter was named [[Maphr]], the fourth child, again a son, was [[Sayha]]. Their youngest daughter was named [[Eva]].

Being the goddess of creation, Einhasad shaped from her spirit several forms, empty at first, from which her four older children, using their own powers, created life:<br>
[[Shilen]] instilled the spirit of Water into the first form her mother had shaped. This is how the race of [[Elves]] was created.<br>
[[Pa'agrio]] instilled the spirit of Fire into the second form his mother had shaped. This is how the race of [[Orcs]] was created.<br>
[[Maphr]] instilled the spirit of Earth into the third form. This is how the race of [[Dwarves]] was created.<br>
[[Sayha]] instilled the spirit of Wind into the fourth form. This is how the race of [[Arteias]] was created.<br>

Inspired by Einhasad's work, her husband [[Gran Kain]] also wanted to create a race. Unfortunately their children had already given all the best essences to Einhasad, and all that was left over was the spirit of stagnant and rotten water, the spirit of dying fire, the spirit of barren and contaminated earth, and the spirit of wild and violent wind. From those ingredients Gran Kain created the [[Humans]]. Of course those creatures were weak, stupid, sly, and cowardly. All the other gods despised Gran Kain, and overcome by the shame of his failure, he abandoned his creation and went into hiding for a time.

Now an interesting thing happened. The races created by Einhasad quickly forgot about her and chose her children as protective deity. [[Orcs]] prayed to [[Pa'agrio]], [[Dwarves]] to [[Maphr]] and so on. In the "Dwarf Creation Myth", a banned book now kept in the Arcane Library at Rune, it says "''In the beginning there was the Great Creator Maphr ... With the help of Maphr the Dwarves were created, the race of the Earth. Maphr taught the Dwarves craftsmanship ...''". In other words, Einhasad was not a factor to be reckoned with for the Dwarves, they barely ever mentioned her.

Not being worshipped any more is the worst thing that can happen to a deity. Gods live in the minds of people - if people don't think about them any more, they cease to exist. Einhasad urgently needed to do something. Trying to remind the races she had created that in fact she was their mother, that without the forms she had created, [[Orcs]], [[Dwarves]] and all the others would never have come into existence, that would have been too much like whining for attention. So Einhasad adopted a different strategy. The [[Humans]] had been abandoned by [[Gran Kain]] in the wilderness, they had no way to communicate with their creator. Therefore they had developed a shamanistic religion that consisted in offering sacrifices to self-made gods of the Four Elements and worshiping their forefathers, conducting rites at their graves, imploring them to watch over their descendants. That was a situation Einhasad could make use of. When the Humans crowned [[Shunaiman]], the leader of one of their clans, as emperor of the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]], she sent down her daughter [[Anakim]] to give that enthronement her "divine blessing".

<br>

[[image:Anakim.jpg|400px|center]]<br>

Being an extremely intelligent man, [[Shunaiman]] immediately seized the chance that was offered to him. He made Einhasad the patron deity of the new state, declaring her religion to be the only true faith while all other belief systems were denounced as heterodox cults, their adherents mercilessly persecuted. In all major towns of Elmore and Aden temples to Einhasad were built, with a statue of the goddess wielding her iconic sword in the back and the priests performing their rituals in front of her, under her eyes. Einhasad had given him political power, he gave Einhasad the worshipers she needed.

Having become the state religion, the Einhasad cult soon developed a momentum of its own. The clergy, keeping its lower ranks under control through a strict hierarchy, was on the side of the ruling class since the beginning, receiving their protection and donations, and indoctrinating the population in exchange, teaching the believers that the present feudal system was what the goddess wanted and approved of.

Of course not everybody shared that point of view. First of all there were the [[Children of Shilen]], who refused to accept the blatant lie that mankind was not created by [[Gran Kain]] but by his wife. As a religious organization the Children of Shilen were subject to severe persecution, and most of them retired in the end to the continent of [[Gracia]] in the west. Their place was taken by the Revolutionary Army of Dusk, followers of [[Shilen]] who are waging a bloody war against the Lords of Dawn, as they call themselves, striving for the control of [[Shunaiman|Shunaiman's Seals]].

And there are also heretics within the Einhasad clergy, like for example [[Sla|Preacher Sla]] who has left [[Town of Giran|Giran]] for the Plains of Dion where she has collected a considerable number of followers who want to [[Test of the Reformer|reform]] the Einhasad Church, maybe not from within, but from the fringes.

Long ago, in a time before thought, there was only a Globe in which all creation was mixed. As there was nothing with which to compare it, the globe was big and small, dark and bright, everything and nothing.

Over a hundred million years, the Globe began to grow and eventually two powers slowly began to form within. As they grew, the powers developed consciousness, becoming aware of their individuality, and separated into white light and darkness. White light formed as female and called itself [[Einhasad]]. The darkness formed as male and named itself [[Gran Kain]].

[[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]] joined their strength to break out of the Globe. In this process the Globe was shattered into pieces of all kinds. Some pieces rose to become Sky, some fell down to become Ground. Between Sky and Ground there was Water, and some parts of Ground rose up to become Land.

When the Globe shattered, the Ether contained in it spread into the world. This brought fourth the various animals and plants. So-called [[Genesis Creatures]] were formed of the Ether, and [[Giants]] were the best of this kind. They were known as the Wise Ones, for their intelligence was as great as their strong bodies. The Giants promised to keep faith in [[Einhasad]] and [[Gran Kain]], as it was the actions of those two gods that had created their life and the world as they knew it. Einhasad and Gran Kain were satisfied with the Giants and appointed them to be the masters of all living creatures. This was before death and true paradise existed.

Apart from the [[Giants]] there were also other Genesis Creatures: the [[Cruma]], huge tortoises, as well as the [[Arachne]], half woman, half spider . Although largely different in shape, they all have in common an enormous size and a certain benevolent wisdom (which in [[Orfen]]'s case later changed into deviousness and hatred).

Frozen Labyrinth

2023-05-22T00:51:13Z

EllieBelly:

[[image:frozenlabyrinth.jpg|800px|center]]<br>

What is nowadays called [[Frozen Labyrinth]] had originally been created by the [[Gray Pillar Guild]] during the [[Dwarven King|Dwarven Kingdom]] as a huge park where the governor of [[Town of Schuttgart|Schuttgart]] could spend the hottest weeks of the year, occasionally taking care of urgent administrative business but mostly hunting buffaloes and antelopes between high walls of rock that provided cool shade during most of the day. For a Dwarf coming from the capital at Mlan with its arctic climate, being sent to the southern province of Schuttgart was a bit of a punishment, so all governors moved to what was then known as Summer Labyrinth for one or two months every year.

After the [[Humans]] had conquered [[Town of Schuttgart|Schuttgart]], completely destroying the Dwarven city, they also took over the Summer Labyrinth. They kept the governors' old hunting lodge in the center of the Labyrinth, but put up their own statues and other park decoration in various places, building a completely new Summer Palace in the northwestern corner of the park. This Summer Palace is where [[Princess Melissa]] moved to spend her exile after she was banished from the court in [[Town of Aden|Aden]]. After a magical accident engineered by [[Gran Kain]], Melissa turned into Ice Queen Freya and the whole Summer Labyrinth with all its animals became the Frozen Labyrinth we know today.

After the first shock about those cataclysmic events, [[Princess Melissa|Melissa]]'s bodyguards, the Canna Knights, soon regrouped under the name of [[Zinnia Guild]], their recruitment officer [[Rafforty]] moving into the old hunting lodge which was conveniently located in the center of the Labyrinth. Since Rafforty made up for himself the cover story of being a merchant providing slabs of ice for the courts in [[Rune Township|Rune]] and [[Town of Aden|Aden]] so that the nobility and rich citizens there could have cool drinks in the summer time, the old governor's lodge is now generally known as [[Ice Merchant Cabin]], the Labyrinth's original history only remembered by a few [[Dwarves]].

[[Doctor Chaos]], a mad scientist from the [[Black Anvil Guild]], occasionally shows up near the [[Archaic Laboratory]] resp. the [[Pavel Ruins]], not far from his former secretary [[Wendy]]. Doctor Chaos had been dispatched by his guild together with a huge interdisciplinary team of [[Dwarves]] to the [[Pavel Ruins]] where they were supposed to investigate the Starstone deposits in the area. The Maestro succeeded in reactivating the equipment in Pavel's old Laboratory and built an excavator golem that the Dwarves used to set up a strip mine near the Laboratory buildings. But then an explosion occured that destroyed most of the north wing of Pavel's Laboratory. Doctor Chaos was accused of having triggered that explosion and expelled from the Black Anvil Guild. He swore revenge on the Black Anvil Guild, styling himself as the "Emperor of Evil", with his ultimate goal being nothing short of world domination. Doctor Chaos views all outsiders as assassins sent by the Black Anvil Guild; when someone tries to talk to him, he breaks out in wild curses, runs away to his shed and comes back with his [[Gigantic Chaos Golem]].

Pavel Ruins

These ruins are all that remains of the laboratory where the [[Giants|Giant]] scientist [[Pavel]] did research on weather phenomena and climate control. The north wing (in the foreground) got destroyed much later through an explosion that was probably caused by the [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] engineer [[Doctor Chaos]]. Unlike Pavel, the Dwarves were not interested in weather phenomena (thanks to their stocky build, Dwarves are perfectly comfortable in ice and snow) but in the Starstones that had been discovered near the old laboratory. Starstones are an important energy source that is needed to operate golems and also the airships that are used on the continent of [[Gracia]]. A huge team of Dwarves from the [[Gray Pillar Guild]], the [[Black Anvil Guild]] and the [[Bronze Key Guild]] was dispatched to the Pavel Ruins. Between these three guilds, more than half of their personnel was allocated to the project.

The Collectors of the [[Bronze Key Guild]] succeeded in opening the door to Pavel's laboratory and found in there the remains of an excavator the Giant had used at the time to build his research facility. Luckily that machine had been built with ancient Dwarven technology, based on the Absolute Geometry [[Maphr]] had taught her children, so the engineers of the [[Black Anvil Guild]] could build a working excavator golem based on the old design. With the help of that excavator golem, the [[Gray Pillar Guild]] started a strip mine on the north side of the laboratory buildings.

Everything went fine, until a huge explosion happened in the north wing of the laboratory. Flaming debris was shooting like comets across the sky and the shock wave could even be felt in [[Town of Schuttgart|Schuttgart]], where it made the windows rattle in their frames. That came as a complete surprise, just out of nowhere. At first people thought that maybe someone had accidentally touched a machine in the laboratory, but then a [[Gigantic Chaos Golem|gigantic golem]] appeared out of nowhere, forcing the Dwarves to flee. By the time they returned, the probe golems, the excavator golems and all the other golems the Dwarves had made to assist them in the strip mine began attacking them. Any further work became impossible, and soon everybody left the area. Now only the Collectors [[Yumi]] and [[Gutenhagen]] from the [[Bronze Key Guild]] remain there.

[[Beleth]], a Light Elf who had graduated as a Spellsinger from the [[Ivory Tower]] and stayed on as a member of the faculty, was originally a pure academic, more interested in studying the theory of magic than practising it. His area of specialty was the [[Pavel Ruins|ancient laboratory]] of the [[Giants]] south of [[Town of Schuttgart|Schuttgart]]; through years of painstaking research and archeological excavations he became the world's foremost expert on the history of Arvitaire, the great city of those [[Genesis Creatures]].

As he learned the [[Giants]]' secrets, however, Beleth gradually became seduced by the lure of the immense power they had wielded. He long hid the growing darkness in his soul from those around him, thereby becoming a true mad scientist. Institutions like the [[Ivory Tower]] (and also Hardin's Private Academy) were founded so that scholars could be in constant contact with their colleagues, laying open their work to review and criticism by their peers, thus avoiding to proceed with their research in a false direction. By hiding his thoughts, disconnecting from his academic environment, Beleth circumvented this sanity check.

Eventually the pursuit of power, the ambition to rule eclipsed everything else in Beleth's life. What he really desired, as he himself now knew fully well, was nothing less than the power of the gods. To achieve that goal, he would need their consent - consent that had been violently denied to the [[Giants]] who strove for that same equality ages before. Beleth was no fool and he had no wish to share the fate of the Giants. So he sought to ally himself with a god not of this dimension, a god whose vast power he could tap and harness for his own ends. He turned the full brilliance of his mind and the formidable power of his will to finding a gateway into another world where his plan could begin to take shape.

He succeeded, at least in name. People gave him the epithet "Devil", which is just a different spelling of "deva" resp. "deus" and actually means "god". Like a real god, he began to collect followers, worshippers, believers. With [[Sephia]], a quite crazy woman herself, he still had to sign a contract, promising her immeasurable magical powers, but [[Meana]] from [[Devil's Isle]], like many others, actually started to serve him out of her own free will. When the number of his followers had reached the dimensions of an army - there is never a lack of people attracted to powerful, charismatic leaders - Beleth decided to act. First he sent out floating eyes, constructs he had created with Giant technology, to spy out the lie of the land for him, then he went on what can only be called a crusade.

Beleth was fully aware that if his bid to take over the lands of Aden and Elmore was to be successful, he had to secure a reliable food supply for his army. One of his spies, among the local people only known as "Eye of Beleth", had reported to him about the fertile farmlands south of [[Town of Gludio|Gludio]], and that was where he marched. The magicians of the [[Ivory Tower]], on the other hand, realized immediately that once Beleth had taken possession of that vital area, a major food source for the whole south of Aden would no longer be accessible. Famines, maybe even hunger riots would break out and their own forces would be significantly weakened. They had to come up with a solution quickly.

Over the years, the library of the [[Ivory Tower]] had acquired several books and grimoires which should never have been written or at least have been destroyed as soon as possible. But destroying a book goes against the very nature of any librarian under the sky. So those works were catalogued as "forbidden tomes" and safely locked away. Faced with the threat of Beleth and his army, however, the magicians did what people usually do in such circumstances: they tried to unleash the "ultimate weapon". Elder [[Casian]] and his colleagues confronted Beleth at the Windawood Basin and opened "Kranvel's Spellbook", one of the forbidden tomes. Its fearsome power sucked the life energy from the living organisms in the area and then, in a process based on the Four Elements, threw it all back upon them. For two days and nights fire rained from the sky and dark magic swept the land like a whirlwind. The main part of Beleth's army was destroyed - while the native creatures of what is now known as the Wastelands were transformed into grotesque monsters - but his closest followers could escape. Beleth himself was captured in the end by the Elemental Summoner Sejarr - it takes an Elf to catch an Elf - transported back to Oren and locked up in a dungeon under the Ivory Tower.

The magicians cast a strong seal on Beleth's prison cell, but gradually the power of the seal began to diminish and the "Devil" regained his strength. Of course it would have been the simplest solution to just kill Beleth, easily done by stopping to provide him with food and water. Elves were created by Shilen, then Goddess of Water, and don't live for very long if one does not regularly give them to drink. One can't help the impression that at least some of the Ivory Tower wizards were hoping that Beleth would "come to his senses" and share the results of his research with them. However that may have been, Beleth finally escaped, presumably with some help from his followers. He made his way to what is now known as "[[Hellbound|Hellbound Island]]", enslaved the local population and had his assisstant Tully build for him the Steel Citadel where he is at present recovering from his long incarceration and continues to pursue his plan to conquer the continent.

To prepare the ground for him, Beleth has sent out various agents. [[Meana]], an evil, Medusa-like heathen originally from [[Devil's Isle]], has set up a base camp north of Giran Castle. From there, where she is protected by her maids and guard dolls, she undertakes forays into the Gludio area and is trying to spread fear in the hearts of the people, turning them towards violence and betrayal; the recent serial murders as well as the rash of theft an arson plaguing [[Town of Gludio|Gludio]] are the work of Meana. Thus she is hoping to destabilize the political situation and create a chaos that would make it easier for Beleth to gain a foothold on the mainland.

On [[Talking Island]], Beleth pursued a similar strategy. Here he sent a whole group of red, bat-winged devils led by [[Nerkas]], who for the time being were hiding in the underground library of the [[Elven Ruins]]. Fortunately High Priest [[Biotin]] of the Einhasad Temple had dreams warning him of the seed of evil lying dormant right at his doorstep, so he sent adventurers down there to slay Nerkas. This was not an easy undertaking; apart from his fellow devils, Nerkas was also protected by higly aggressive Undine sprites. But in the end the devil was killed. His dying words were: "The power of Lord Beleth rules the whole world!", thereby revealing to everybody who his master was. The hero who slew Nerkas also found a clay tablet, as they were used by mystics in the days of the [[Elmoreden|Elmoreden Empire]] and, long before that, by the [[Giants]] and the gods. Nowadays only a few scholars can still read those tablets, but it is to be feared that Beleth has provided his agents with powerful spells he has found during his excavations in the [[Archaic Laboratory]].

Hellbound

After [[Beleth]] had, presumably with some help from his followers, escaped from the dungeon under the [[Ivory Tower]], he made his way to the island now known as "[[Hellbound]]". His problem was that this place was not empty. The island had an autochthonous population with quite a high level of culture and civilization. So he first of all killed Hannibal, a soothsayer and seer who was, via her third eye, able to communicate directly with [[Naia]], the locally worshipped goddess, and enjoyed a very high respect among the natives. Bereft of their spiritual leadership, the inhabitants of Hellbound soon fell for his promises of wealth and power.

Once he was firmly established on the island, Beleth summoned more of his followers to him. Suddenly the natives found themselves no longer masters of their own land. The Dwarf Tully, Beleth's long-time assistant and a genius when it came to engineering tasks, built for the "Devil" in the eastern half of the island the Steel Citadel, a massive castle secured by outer fortifications and consisting of three mighty towers: the Base Tower, the Tower of Infinitum and the Tower of Naia, where Beleth himself resides. For his own needs and pleasure Tully built a huge workshop of eight floors. This workshop is at present guarded by Beleth's general Darion, a deadly fighter clad in heavy armor and wielding a large sword as well as a heavy shield he likes to slam into those challenging him.

A structure like the Steel Citadel, even if it is rather dimly lighted, needs an enormous amount of energy just for its regular day to day operation, and in addition to that there was the machinery in Tully's workshop. Therefore the Dwarf built in the western part of the island a receptor array, called "Enchanted Megaliths" by the natives, that collected the energies permeating Hellbound and channeled them to the Steel Citadel for further use. Those energies were the reason why [[Beleth]] had moved to Hellbound in the first place. Because of certain geological anomalies, [[Naia|Mother Naia]] was living very close under the surface there, and her energy, the energy of the earth itself, could easily be tapped. Her crystalline "tendrils", the so-called Naia Failan, were positively radiating with a luminescent green. All Tully had to do was to surround that spot with four receptors and a set up a transmitter column in the center.<br>

[[image:EnchantedMegaliths.jpg|600px|center]]<br>

As anybody can imagine, the construction of a huge fortress like the Steel Citadel required an great amount of materials. First of all, Tully's workers resp. enslaved natives opened up a huge quarry in the center of the island to get the rocks for the foundations of the Citadel. Although the necessary steel and other high-grade materials were provided by the evil forces from a different dimension [[Beleth]] had allied himself with, the construction project still needed a lot of wood: for the scaffolding, for the temporary workers' accommodations on the site and even for the workers' cooking fires. Hellbound had never been a nice place, it had always suffered from an arid climate that supported only a sparse vegetation. But in the time it took to complete the Steel Citadel, Tully's men literally felled every last tree on the island, turning it into the bleak desert it is now.

This ecological disaster was compounded and made worse by the magical barrier [[Beleth]] erected to isolate his hiding place. This force field did not only block any normal access to the island - Hellbound can only be reached via two Warpgates in [[Heine]] and at the southern entrance of the [[Wasteland]] - it also stopped the rain-carrying clouds coming in from the sea. The desert climate led to a serious problem - what should all the natives Beleth had either charmed or subjugated eat now? The answer was obvious: fish. But Beleth did not trust even the charmed collaborators to go out on fishing boats - they might keep on sailing until they reached the mainland, leaking information about his new power base to the [[Ivory Tower]] wizards. Therefore he made his own "fishermen". In a basin south of the Steel Citadel he set up a factory, among the natives known as "Anomic Foundry", where he created, using techniques he had discovered in the Archaic Laboratory, a great number of monsters, slightly resembling sharks, but with two arms and two legs, so that they could serve in a double function as soldiers, slave supervisors etc., strengthening his hold on the island.<br>

[[image:AnomicFoundry.jpg|600px|center]]<br>

But the natives did not take this lying down. Soon a Resistance Movement formed, a coalition of the ancient, shamanistic inhabitants of the island and the so-called "newcomers" who had arrived from the mainland in a later wave of settlement, seeking new opportunities to acquire wealth and fame. In order to get a grip on the continuously deteriorating security situation, Beleth's general Darion has given out special tokens, both to the monsters under his command as well as to native collaborators, which identify them and permit them to travel freely throughout Hellbound. Those travel permits, known as "Darion's Badges", are of course much sought after by the Resistance Movement.

Adventurers wanting to gain the trust of the Resistance Movement must first of all procure for them a certain number of Darion's Badges, preferably by killing monsters that carry them. Some of those monsters can be found right in the harbor area, where anybody arriving at Hellbound Island via the Warpgates gets deposited: the Junior Watchmen, the Junior Summoners, the Blind Huntsmen and the Blind Watchmen. A certain distance southwest of the harbor, at the Enchanted Megaliths, one finds Arcane Scouts, Arcane Guardians (vampiric succubi) and Arcane Watchmen. With every monster one slays in the harbor area (they are all highly aggressive), the level of trust one enjoys with the Resistance Movement increases a bit, with every monster killed at the Enchanted Megaliths it increases a bit more.

A certain problem for would-be resistance fighters is that those monsters don't take seriously single adventurers. They often will only appear when groups of five or more enemies enter their area, although sometimes they just show up out of the empty air, attacking like mad anybody they see. Everybody be warned: those monsters, like all others on Hellbound, are formidable foes! A Junior Summoner can kill an experienced combat-wizard with two shots at most, even if he has full support magic and is wearing the best equipment there is, while a Blind Watchman can drain that wizard's magical power in one cast. And a single Arcane Scout at the Enchanted Megaliths can wipe out a whole party of seven persons within a few minutes. Trying to sneak past those Scouts by using concealment magic will not work; they can see through the Dance of Shadows, or any other silent move skills like Stealth. None of the monsters on the island can be wrested down by a single fighter, and even a group should have a long experience of hunting together, with every move well practiced and having become second nature to them.

[[image:HudeSmall.jpg|180px|right]]

Adventurers looking for wealth should make their way to the Hidden Oasis southeast of the Enchanted Megaliths. There they can find the trader Falk, riding on his well-armed native servant, who will exchange Darion's Badges against a Basic Caravan Certificate. The Caravan is a third faction that is not happy with Beleth's rule - by enslaving the population, the "Devil" has significantly reduced their customer base. If someone wants to obtain a higher certificate of trust from the Caravan, helping the Resistance Movement to establish good relations with that faction, he or she should move on to the Sand Swept Dunes. At that place Wandering Caravans can be found, who have betrayed their colleagues and have been expelled from the community. Apart from those rogue traders, there are also Sand Scorpions and Desert Scorpions living in the Dunes. Adventurers would do the Caravan a big favor if they killed the traitors for them and made the desert safe by eliminating the Scorpions - while always keeping an eye on the Sandstorms, Desiccators and Sand Devils, dusty whirlwinds controlled by skeletal warriors inside. For 30 Traitor's Necklaces and 60 Scorpion Poison Stingers, Caravan Merchant Hude, who is staying at the Caravan Encampment east of the Sand Swept Dunes will issue a Standard Caravan Certificate.

Once somebody has obtained the Standard Caravan Certificate, they can buy from Hude the Caravaner's Remedy for 25,000 adena per bottle. A major problem in the desert is the extreme heat that is sapping everybody's life force and makes it only possible to hunt there during the night. The Caravaner's Remedy counteracts this effect. Once taken, it protects an adventurer for one hour from the heat of the sun. But everybody should keep in mind that the Caravan traders take their relationships very seriously. Even if somebody paid for the Remedy, this is still a personal gift to this one specific person. It can not be passed on to somebody else and it can also not be dropped on the ground, where anybody could pick it up.

The next stage on the path to an accepted resistance fighter would be the Battered Lands, which can be reached via a corridor from the harbor area. Be warned! At the end of that corridor there are about five Wounded Land Guards in a row, barring access. And behind them there is an invisible barrier that can only be crossed by adventurers who have gathered enough experience on the island. By using concealment magic you will be able to run up to the Guards and even past them, but that is a trap. If you are unable to cross the barrier and have to retreat, the Guards will take very much notice of you and promptly squash you flat.

To eliminate the invisible barrier blocking access to the Battered Lands, adventurers have to go to the natives' village south-west of the Hidden Oasis. This is an important basis of the Resistance Movement and as such is often attacked by Beleth's demons. General Darion already has an inkling that the native resistance fighters are in the process of joining forces with adventurers from the mainland. Therefore he is sending his lieutenant Keltas with a large detachment of Enforcers and Executioners to the village every 2 to 4 hours, with orders to wipe out any resistance they encounter. Keltas and his platoon are executing this order to the letter: they are moving from house to house and killing anybody they see, no matter whether resistance fighter or civilian. Since the active resistance fighters are usually out in the desert, harassing Darion's troops, it is the women and children who stayed at home that get killed (which is the reason why there are now almost only men left on the island). <br>

[[image:KeltasSmall.jpg|600px|center]]<br>

There is especially one large building where the floor is strewn with corpses, but, although they are returning to their barracks after some time, Keltas and his detachment keep coming back. This is because they are searching for the valuables the natives have put by in better days. Of course, in a harsh environment like Hellbound there is not that much wealth that can be accumulated, but occasionally Keltas does find a treasure chest. This has also aroused the interest of the Caravan. Since the people at the village are dead anyway, it would be a shame to let those treasures fall into the hands of Darion's soldiers. Trader Jude will give a rich reward to any adventurer who brings him 40 treasure chests. In Darion's anti-insurgency squads, as in all armies, the loot goes to the commander. Therefore adventurers have to kill Keltas to obtain the treasure chests, which incidentally will also raise the level of trust they enjoy with the Resistance Movement by 100 points. Even killing Keltas' underlings will raise their trust level by 3 points for every dead Enforcer or Executioner. Being official members of Darion's army, those monsters usually carry the travel permits the Resistance Movement so urgently needs. If adventurers hand any of Darion's Badges they found on the killed monsters to Kief, the local area commander, their level of trust will go up by quite a bit.

Sooner or later the outsiders will be accepted enough to take part in real commando actions such as rescuing the slaves in the Quarry. This is not easy - the Quarry Foremen will Root any attacker, so that the Patrolmen with their Windstrikes and the Supervisors with their close-distance physical attacks can easily finish them off - but it will seriously undermine Beleth's economic basis and make it impossible for him to continue expanding his fortress, leaving him only his magic to defend himself. Once the guards near a group of slaves have been eliminated, one can talk with them and they will follow their rescuer. At the southern end of the Quarry there is a little road through the mountains that connects to the Caravan Encampment in the Sand Swept Dunes. This is the fastest way to lead them out. If the overseers notice that slaves are escaping, they will kill them without any thought to the economic loss, and the adventurers' level of trust with the Resistance Movement will go down with every dead slave. But once a train of rescued slaves has reached the stone pillar at the southern exit of the mountain road, they are safe. (To express their gratitude, the slaves might even leave some materials on the ground). In the end, General Darion will have no alternative but to commence a tactical retreat, concentrating his forces behind the outer Enceinte of the Steel Citadel and abandoning most of the island to the Resistance Movement.

By now the united front of the natives, the "newcomers" and the Caravan should be strong enough to attempt an attack on the Enchanted Megaliths. Once those are taken, the invisible barrier isolating the Battered Lands will fall and the Chimeras living there can be eliminated. For this purpose one first needs a magical bottle which can be obtained from Kief, who has now set up his command post in the central building of the village, for 20 Scorpion Poison Stingers. When a Chimera has been beaten almost to death and only 1/10 of its life energy remains, the magical bottle can be used to capture its life force: Dim Life Force or regular Life Force from the lesser Chimeras and Dim Life Force, regular Life Force or Contained Life Force from Celtus, their leader. If an adventurer has captured 80 units of regular Life Force and 20 units of Contained Life Force, he or she can exchange the Life Forces with Hude at the Caravan Encampment for a Premium Caravan Certificate. The owner of such a Certificate can then purchase from Hude recipes and parts for truly excellent equipment. The monsters on the island will upon their death occasionally drop an old book, the famous "Ancient Tome of the Demon". If one opens such a book, one will obtain, purely at random, a Demon Contract Fragment, a Hidden First Page or a Hidden Second Page. Hude will exchange his recipes and equipment parts against those pieces of paper.

[[image:OutpostCaptain.jpg|180px|right]]

Thus well equipped, the resistance fighters will in their now unstoppable march sooner or later reach the outer gate of the Steel Citadel. Again, defeating the Enceinte Defenders is not easy. Some of them can take out single attackers over a long distance, both with magical and physical methods, while others can wipe out whole groups with one single strike in close-hand combat. But well-trained adventurers with good experience in coordinated fighting will eventually prevail. Once the Outpost Captain, a fierce horned devil using dual swords, is killed, the gate will open and the resistance fighters can proceed to liberate the slaves [[Beleth]] keeps at the oasis within. But everybody should be aware that Beleth's forces have very good intelligence. If adventurers have not yet forged strong enough bonds with the native Resistance Movement, the Outpost Captain will know it. While he, being an example in discipline to his soldiers, usually firmly stays at his post and pulls any attackers to him by magic, he might then rush out at a single enemy, trying to drive a wedge in the fragile front of the resistance fighters while at the same time satisfying his own personal bloodlust.

Turning south after the gate, one soon arrives at a little lake, with two trees and tents put up in their shade. The slaves living there are far from home. For their dangerous journey back to the west of the island they absolutely need those travel permits general Darion has given out. If adventurers donate five of Darion's Badges to a slave, this will help a lot to ensure his safe return, and it will also raise the level of trust they enjoy with the Resistance Movement. This oasis is the place where the legendary blacksmith Shadai can sometimes be met. He visits only occasionally, always at midnight and staying in one of the tents, but since he can change the armor adventurers have acquired from caravaner Hude in a way that best fits their needs - making it stronger but a bit heavier for Dwarves, lighter for archers etc. - it is worth waiting for him.

After talking to Kanaf, adventurers can then enter the market town that was supported by the oasis before Beleth arrived, getting both its food and its drinking water from there. Now this once thriving center of civilization has changed. People who have been there have described it as "more like an instance of hell" - which is why Kanaf will only permit groups of two or more adventurers to enter the town. The natives there are being kept under control by Torture Expert Amaskari, a classical, red-skinned devil. Most of them are heavily traumatized; if one tries to talk to them, they just disappear, screaming that guards would be coming. After the victory at the Enchanted Megaliths a native commando unit of the Resistance Movement had tried to sneak into the town and free their brethren. But within a short time they were discovered and fierce fighting ensued. The major part of the commando was killed, while the rest were taken prisoner. Amaskari has succeeded in terrorizing the prisoners to a degree where they will instantly do his bidding, no matter what it be. If adventurers are courageous enough to take him on, he will tell a great number of the broken men to attack those who have only their well-being in mind, even if it should cost them their life. As soon as Amaskari is dead, however, they are free and will run away. Once the natives in the town have been liberated, the Resistance Movement can start taking possession of the Steel Citadel itself.

[[image:Keymaster.jpg|120px|right]]

First the prospective demon slayers must find a Keymaster in the town - he is often hiding inside of a building - and kill him, which should not be too hard. If they are lucky, he will have carried a Key of the Evil Eye, engraved with words in an ancient, dark-looking demon script. Walking to the northern end of the town, the adventurers must then insert this key - one for each group will be sufficient - into the little keyhole at the bottom of the Moonlight Stele they will find there in front of the Citadel's gate. After five minutes the whole group will be teleported inside. There might still be monsters in the town, intent on killing anybody they perceive as an intruder. So it pays to be carefull during those five minutes and occasionally look back over one's shoulder.

Right after they have entered the Steel Citadel, a Body Destroyer wielding a double-bladed axe will be waiting for the intrepid adventurers. The name "Body Destroyer" is fully justified: he can curse attackers, predicting their death, and if he is not killed within 30 seconds thereafter, the cursed person will suddenly have only one single drop of blood left. Therefore it is necessary that the members of the group concentrate all their forces and eliminate the Body Destroyer as fast as possible, while those who got hit by his curse should immediately retire to a safe corner, sit down and try to recover their strength. There is a reward: Body Destroyers frequently carry on them a Forgotten Scroll where it is recorded how to call up an intelligent Cubic, a skill many knights and summoners are interested in learning. Apart from that, these particular officers often also carry other spellbooks.

[[image:Matras.jpg|130px|right]]

On their way to the Steel Citadel, adventurers might want to talk to the Dwarven architect Matras at the oasis behind the Enceinte gate. Matras was responsible for several of the buildings in the market town, but then, when Tully came and built the Steel Citadel, he was confronted with a whole new dimension of architecture. Matras' curiosity was aroused. After doing some research he came to the conclusion that the Steel Citadel might possibly have been built by several, independently working parties. That sounds certainly strange, but Matras was not able to find complete blueprints of the Citadel, and this was the the only way he could explain that phenomenon. At the moment Matras is searching for additional information. He has already found out that the Demon Prince and Ranku in the Tower of Infinitum might have blueprints of the Citadel, but the Body Destroyer and his Soul Dominators in the entrance hall won't even let him into the Base Tower, which has to be crossed to get to the Tower of Infinitum. Matras promises a rich reward to anybody who will procure the blueprints for him, and since Ranku and the Demon Prince have to be defeated anyway to reach [[Beleth]], adventurers should by all means agree to help the Dwarf.

To aid them in their quest, Matras will provide his assitants with six pieces of Rough Ore, namely Rough Ore of Fire, of Water, of Earth, of Wind, of Darkness and of Divinity, which can be applied to equipment like regular Attribute stones. If someone is lucky, those ores will increase an existing Attribute of their weapon by 5 and an Attribute of their armour by 3, but, as with regular Attribute stones, there is a chance to fail. Experienced adventurers say that there might be a greater probability of success if one applies the Rough Ore only after entering the Steel Citadel. This may or may not be true. In any case, Matras is, apart from the blueprints, also intereted in the Red Stones the monsters in the Base Tower are carrying. The Base Tower is a two-storey labyrinth infested with Body Destroyers, Soul Dominators, Labyrinth Watchmen, Labyrinth Mystics, Labyrinth Captains, Labyrinth Seers, Passageway Captains, Passageway Guards and Passageway Mystics. Any of them might carry those Red Stones. Once somebody has collected 744 Stones, he or she can bring them back to Matras and receive a nice reward.

As mentioned above, the Steel Citadel is a complex structure consisting of three towers and Tully's Workshop. First of all, the resistance fighters must force their way through the labyrinth of the Base Tower. This labyrinth can be entered through two doors, the Door of Destruction and the Door of Darkness, on the left and the right side of the entrance hall. The monsters in the entrance hall will upon their death occasionally drop keys for those doors. The labyrinth itself, with shoulder-high walls, is at first a bit confusing, but if one keeps going in a general northerly direction, one will sooner or later arrive at a long, upward-sloping corridor - the exit of the labyrinth. Some people may be in doubt whether they should enter the labyrinth through the Door of Destruction or the Door of Darkness. If one enters through the Door of Destruction, the way is relatively short, while the way from the Door of Darkness through the labyrinth is a bit longer. Strange as it may sound, but adventurers intending to progress through the Steel Citadel might want to take the long way. First, because this gives them more opportunities to collect the Red Stones for Matras, but mainly because the monsters roaming the labyrinth will on occasion drop a key to the Door of Blood that will be needed later on.<br>

[[image:PassagewayTrim.jpg|600px|center]]<br>

The long passageway is also infested with monsters, but there is no more danger of getting lost. It is a simple matter of storming straight upslope and killing anything that dares stepping in the way. A great, vaulted hall, dimly illuminated by little lamps giving off a greenish, phosphorescent glow marks the half-way point. Then, after another length of corridor, there will suddenly be a suspicious-looking Human mystic who calls himself Jerian. He claims to have waited in this spot for a long time (how could he have survived among all those monsters?), only to tell adventurers that they must disguise themselves as demons if they want to survive the following trials. This disguise is achieved by showering oneself with the warm blood of monsters. The Captains, Guards and Mystics living in the passageway the resistance fighters have just come through sometimes drop whole bottles of blood. Jerian will teleport adventurers thus camouflaged into a mysterious room with a tightly closed door at the end. Unfortunately this door is guarded by a "Cosmic Scout", a monster which is very skilled in using paralyzing magic.

[[image:Demonprince.jpg|180px|right]]

Only after this guardian is killed - which is very hard - the Tower of Infinitum can be entered, where the Demon Prince and Ranku reside. It is those two who carry the blueprints of the Steel Citadel the architect Matras is so much interested in. First the Demon Prince has to be defeated. Although in the Underworld he is a noble in his own right, here in the Steel Citadel he is taking orders from Darion, who has made him responsible for all defense measures in the Tower of Infinitum. The Demon Prince is able to plant a Dark Seed in the body of attackers which will gradually eat up their life force and, once it is fully grown, paralyze them. If attackers should escape his Dark Seeds or his scythe-like wings and push him too hard, the Demon Prince can use a spell that will greatly increase his resistance against physical and magical damage. While this Ultimate Defense is in effect, he will not be able to move, but for such cases he has his fiendish minions who can in turn Root attackers, then curse them so that they will easily surrender to their master's next Dark attack, or, as if that would not be enough, pummel them with close-distance physical attacks. But if adventurers should succeed in overcoming the Demon Prince, they will not only be rewarded with a blueprint of the Steel Citadel and other valuables he is carrying on him (like for example pieces to fashion an Arcana Mace), but also with a so-called "Transform Sealbook" that will it make possible for them to assume the outer shape of the Demon Prince for half an hour, while also being able to use his amazing combat skills.

Ranku and his Eidolon minions are living on the third floor of the Tower of Infinitum. While the central column below was surrounded by greenish circles of light, the glow here is yellow. Ranku has signed a contract with Beleth at the same time as Darion, in which they both were hired to help the "Devil" during the planned invasion and conquest of the mainland. But since that might still take some time, Ranku serves at the moment as security officer, with orders to prevent any intruders from penetrating deeper into the Steel Citadel. Ranku is a formidable fighter: with his heavy sword he can stun any attacker, only to destroy them immediately afterwards with a Dark Explosion, while his minions will use an evil spell to raise the attackers' magical energy consumption and then finish them off in close-hand melee fighting.

The next challenge is Tully's Workshop, where not only the crazy Dwarf himself and his Banshee minions are living, but also a large number of his Devotees and Apostles. Tully may not be the greatest fighter, but he and his minions are quite skillful in slowing attackers down, even stunning them into immobility, so that they can finish them off at their leisure. Quite a different kettle of fish is general Darion, who has set up his command post in Tully's Workshop and is personally trying to make a last stand against the rebels. Darion and his officers must be defeated, only then will it be possible to proceed to the Tower of Naia and take on [[Beleth]] himself. But everybody should keep in mind that here, deep in the lair of the "Devil", the magic is very strong. They must conquer each room within a certain time limit, otherwise all their efforts will have been in vain.

[[image:Naia1Small.jpg|600px|center]]<br>

It is only after the Epidos in the bottommost room of the Tower of Naia has been killed that a teleportation crystal will appear, by means of which the whole group can reach Beleth's throne room. [[Beleth]] has had a lot of time to further refine the mirror magic he had already used at the Battle of the Wastelands to kill Summoner Sejarr. Now he is able to create 16 images of himself, not just optical illusions but physical copies which can surround and autonomously attack anybody daring to disturb him. Apart from that, he has of course mastered the control of fire. He and all of his copies can incinerate whole groups of attackers with fearsome balls of flame, even if they are spread out over a wide area. But Beleth is wearing valuable jewelry with magical properties, so it might well be worth it to take him on - apart from the moral obligation everybody has to remove this "Devil" from the face of the earth.

Test of the Summoner

2022-10-28T13:42:29Z

EllieBelly:

1) This quest starts in [[Gludin Village]] in the Magic Shop with High Summoner [[Galatea]]. She gives you 122 dimensional diamonds and sends you to the [[Town of Dion]]. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner1.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner2.jpg]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner4.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner5.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner6.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner7.jpg]]<br><br>

<br><br>
2) In Dion go to the Grocery Store and talk to Trader [[Lara]] to create your Arcana Cards. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner8.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner9.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner10.jpg]]<br><br>

Here are all the lists and you can pick whatever seems easiest. I recommend doing the 1st or 2nd list. The 5th list is completely out of
the question as noble ants are deep in [[The Ant Nest]] (literally right outside of the Queens room) and no herbs drop in there. If you
don't like the list she gives you, go into your quest inventory and throw it away, and ask for a new one. Keep in mind the items don't
drop every mob, the first two lists should allow you to get the items the fastest. There are 2 mobs per list, and you need 30 items per
mob. So plan on killing at least 3 times that amount. Plan on at least 30 mins per set of 30 items. In the case of the breka orcs or
leto lizardman, ANY of them will drop the item, so that makes it a little easier. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner11.jpg]]<br><br>

3) Here are the mobs and locations for all the mobs on the list. When you get all the quest items go back to [[Lara]]. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner12.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner13.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner14.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner15.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner16.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner17.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner18.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner19.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner20.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner21.jpg]]<br><br>

4) Lara will take the quest items and give you 2 Beginner Arcana cards. You need 6 in total to challenge the other summoners. When you
have enough cards, you can find the summoners. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner22.jpg]]<br><br>

5) First, when you are speaking to the summoners you will see a new buff on your buff bar and see the following message in system chat.
When this kicks on, summon your pet right away. This allows you to have a much shorter recharge time on your pet than normal, about a
minute instead of hours. The buff doesn't last long so pay attention. <br><br>

[[image:judgementofsummoner23.jpg]]<br><br>

The fights themselves are easy, even unbuffed you should only need to heal once, if that. Especially if you use beast shots, it will be
no problem. Attack the summoners servitor ONLY WITH YOUR PET. You need to start the fight, the other servitor will not start until you
do. You can do these in any order. I did the full dialog of one of them, and the rest just the short version. All fights work the
same. <br><br>

Summoner [[Basilla]].

[[image:judgementofsummoner25.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner26.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner27.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner28.jpg]]<br><br>

When the fight is over, talk to the summoner to get their card. <br><br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner29.jpg]]<br><br>

Here are the rest of the locations. <br><br>

Summoner [[Almors]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner30.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner31.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner32.jpg]]<br><br>

Summoner [[Celestiel]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner34.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner35.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner36.jpg]]<br><br>

Summoner [[Belthus]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner37.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner38.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner39.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner40.jpg]]<br><br>

Summoner [[Camoniell]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner41.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner42.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner43.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner44.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner45.jpg]]<br><br>

Summoner [[Brynthea]]

[[image:judgementofsummoner46.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner47.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner48.jpg]]
[[image:judgementofsummoner49.jpg]]<br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner50.jpg]]<br><br>

6) When you have all 6 Arcana Cards go back to High Summoner [[Galatea]] in Gludin's Magic Shop and receive the Mark of Summoner, 148,409 exp

and 30,000 sp. <br><br>
[[image:judgementofsummoner51.jpg]]<br><br>

7) Then when you hit 40 go the grandmaster in a magic guild to switch your class (like Grand Master Jurek in Giran's Magic Guild) if you are a human or light elf, dark elves need to find a Magic Guild.

Congrats!<br><br>

1) This quest starts in the [[Town of Dion]] at the exit by the Temple with Guard [[Harlan]]. He wants you to hunt Enku Orc Shaman and Champions to get items to make
some wine. You'll need a lot, 100 of one item and 80 of another. If you want to tell him no that's up to you, I went with the agreeable answers. <br><br>

[[file:fantasywine3.jpg]]
[[file:fantasywine4.jpg]]
[[file:fantasywine5.jpg]]

2) These mobs are literally right outside of Dion, north. You should get 1 per mob but it still means killing 180 mobs total.

[[file:fantasywine6.jpg]]

3) When you have all the items return to Harlan and he will reward you with a wine that goes in your regular inventory. The possible options are 15 year old wine, 30, and 60, with varying worth to sellers in town.
