[Page 1]
This Reality is created.
The universe is formed,
composed of countless
stars and innumerable
worlds.
Among them, a star
with nine planets, one of
which is a blue world

[Page 2]
with two moons circling it.
Life appears upon this world,
soon humans inhabit
the planet along with
other creatures.

[Page 3]
Physical manifestations
of dimension Xorinia
also appear, they are named
wisps.
Humananity flourished. It
is believed to have
created a fairly advanced
society.

[Page 4]
Unfortunately, this time
was brought to an end
when the wisps provided
the spell known as
'Armageddon' to a human
named Zog.
Whether it was mearly
given in trade as an

[Page 5]
example of the extent
of the wisps’ knowledge,
or purposely given knowing
it would be used to
destroy all life cannot
be known.
Only the wisps
themselves would know

[Page 6]
for certain.
Zog subsequently
employed this spell,
eradicating all life
from the face of the
planet.

[Page 7]
The whole of the world
became barren and
lifeless.
The history, the races
and the name of the
ancient world is forgotten
and lost for all time.

[Page 8]
Only wisps know how
many lonely eons passed
until life rose anew on
this world. Millenia passed
until finally the first sign
of life appeared on the
world since Zog cast
Armageddon.

[Page 9]
It is said that this
first new life was the
Ancient Yew Oak sprout,
though one can only
imagine how this could be
known.
Slowly, life once again
flourished on this world.

[Page 10]
A race of towering
beings with only one eye,
known as Cyclops,
inhabited the world.
Barbaric humans, along
with other races,
eventually arrive on the
ancient world.

[Page 11]
The method of their
arrival is unknown.
Possibly moongates.
The humans began to
form tribes, and
communities.
There was much friction
and fighting between the

[Page 12]
Cyclops and the Humans.
Eventually, the Humans
overcame the Cyclops, and
drove them underground.

[Page 13]
After a time, the world
was given the name of
'Sosaria', and it's twin
moons were dubbed
'Trammel' and 'Felucca'.
The other races - elves,
dwarves, and bobbits- also
formed communities, but

[Page 14]
their numbers were small.
The gargoyles also
inhabited this world, but
lived underground, largely
unknown to humans.

[Page 15]
Humans left their
ancient continent of
'origin' and spread across
the globe.
Five lands altogether
were inhabited and
settled. These lands will
later became known as

[Page 16]
Akalabeth, Ambrosia,
the Lands of Danger and
Despair, the Lands of the
Feudal Lords, and the
Lands of the Dark
Unknown.

[Page 17]
Magic was once again
discovered and the
Cult of Runes formed.
Many towns were built.
A group of powerful
rune cult mages built the
Tower of Knowledge and
the Pillars of Protection.

[Page 18]
At some point, the
Cult of Truth was
founded. Their order was
composed of mystic
healers.
Their headquarters were
located in the depths of
the Stygian Abyss, where

[Page 19]
they oversaw the training
of the Cult of Runes
initiates.
Members of their order
traveled among the
ancient towns, offering
their powers for healing.

[Page 20]
In these ancient times
the various lands were
ruled by squabbling self
proclaimed kings.
The Lands of Danger
and Despair were ruled
by Lord Shamino and the

[Page 21]
King of the White
Dragon.
The Lands of the Dark
Unknown were ruled by
Lord Olympus and the
King of the Black Dragon.
The Lands of the Feudal
Lords were ruled by the

[Page 22]
lords of Castle Rondorin
and Castle Barataria
The Lands of Aklabeth
were ruled by King
Wolfgang and
"The Lost King"
(the tradition of the
land demanded that the

[Page 23]
king cast off his name.
Traditionally this land is
called the Land of the
Lost King.)
The Order of Truth
settled upon Ambrosia,
creating the Shrines of
Truth for each source

[Page 24]
of power (Strength,
Intelligence, Wisdom and
Dexterity)
Other people studying
dark magic formed the
Order of Circles. There
were 9 circles of magic.

[Page 25]
The chief of this Order,
Selzhanik, is also the sole
keeper of the Ninth
circle of magic.

[Page 26]
King Wolfgang of
Aklabeth has two sons;
Menton, his first born,
and Mondain, his second
son.
Richard Cantabrigian
arrived in Sosaria through
a blue moongate, and

[Page 27]
met Shamino, who gave
him the nickname 'British'.
They became the best of friends.
In time Shamino
introduced British to
various court advisors,
who were impressed with

[Page 28]
the teenager's knowledge
of justice, government
and law. British soon
settled himself in
Akalabeth, which was
ruled by the good King Wolfgang.

[Page 29]
Menton and Mondain
were being trained in the
ways of sorcery by their
father. Eventually, as his
knowledge grew, Menton
left home to study at
the Tower of Knowledge.

[Page 30]
Mondain's knowledge of
the arcane arts also
grew, Mondain started to
experiment with his power
over minor creatures,
controlling their minds,
and their actions even
killing them on whims.

[Page 31]
Mondain coveted a
mystical gem of great
power which was in his
father's possesion - the
Sun Ruby.
However, the Sun Ruby,
which actually harnessed
the power of the sun,

[Page 32]
was meant as an
inheritence for Mondain's
brother, Menton.
A comet passed through
the Sosarian skies at
this time. Oracles
prophesied that darkness
would soon befall the

[Page 33]
lands of Sosaria.
Wolfgang's second son
had an evil heart.By the
age of 15, Mondain's
strange ways had become
a worry to his father,
and he told the youth he
must take a year off

[Page 34]
from studying magic,
and spend this time
instead studying at an
abbey to learn compassion
and humility. King
Wolfgang promisd Mondain
the Sun Ruby as his
reward if he would learn

[Page 35]
well the virtues taught
at the abbey and embrace
them.But Mondain would
have none of it.
The very next night,
Mondain killed his father,
and took the powerful
gem for himself.

[Page 36]
Menton, Mondain's
brother, returned from
the Tower of Knowledge
and confronted Mondain,
horrified over his father's
murder.

[Page 37]
Some say Mondain
banished his brother to
another world, others say
he simply killed him on
the spot.
Menton's fate, to this
day, is still not known.

[Page 38]
With the death of
Wolfgang, the kingdom
advisors looked for a
successor to the
kingdom of Akalabeth.
None, of course, were
found. British, along with
other advisors and council

[Page 39]
members, maintain the
kingdom of Akalabeth
under the direction of
The Lost King.
Mondain began to use
his father's gem against
itself to produce a black
jewel that would render

[Page 40]
him virtually immortal.
