Prologue

The legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, the continent of Gamma and its seven kingdoms were plunged into darkness.

The son of the king from Synnefa was consumed by evil and greed unable to inherit the throne of his father.

From his ancient palace in the so called kingdom of heavens, and along with one of his servants, the young prince opened a portal to the Underworld, and through a pact, he obtain the power of a demon. Then, he murdered his parents and siblings, getting the control and the throne of Synnefa.

With all the evil within his young heart, the self-proclaimed Demon King released the beasts from their prisons in the Underworld and sent them to kill the people of the other six kingdoms of Gamma.

Facing the imminent threat, two powerful kings always at the eve of war, decided to put an end to their rivalries and unite forces against the Demon. From Benetnasch, the kingdom touched by the gods, many spies were sent to infiltrate the retinue of the evil king, with the hope of find a weakness. Alioth, the kingdom of eternal summer, offered its best soldiers to help Megrez, Mizar, Dubhe and Pechda protect their lands.

However, all the effort was in vain, the darkness within the prince extended to the whole continent and it became stronger with the time.

Seeing the misery of all mortals, the gods decided to help, sending to Gamma a young man, a stranger of unlimited knowledge that came from a distant land he called Suille. The Stranger, as he is called, told the six kings of Gamma that they had to give the life of their best warrior as a sacrifice to the gods in order to obtain the weapon that would seal the Demon King… And the kings didn't hesitate to obey. By means of tricks, the six warriors were trap into an old temple built by the first men that lived on Gamma. There, by order of the Stranger, the warriors were cruelly murdered, and on their agony, they vowed for vengeance.

With the blood of five of them a spell in ancient language was written, on an old scroll, and with the blood of the sixth, the youngest and purest, an elixir was created, one that could restore life to the dead.

From the last ray of sunlight, three angels appeared, each carrying a sword forged by the most powerful gods.

The eldest angel, of bright dark hair and golden eyes, gave his sword to the Stranger. "Take this sword," he said, his voice soft and delicate filled with confidence the hearts of those whom listened. "And dye it in the blood of the demon who so brazenly escaped the judgment of our Dark Lord.

The second, of soft golden hair and black eyes, approached the young prince of Alioth. "Take this sword," he whispered. "And dye it in the blood of the demon to pay for his insolence towards our Lord of light."

Finally, the youngest angel, of bright blue eyes and hair as the color of the sand, approached a humble man of Benetnasch, and surprising everyone, he gave the sword to him. "Take this sword," he commanded his voice firm and sharp "And dye it in the blood of the demon," the young angel looked at the people and then smiled. "Then, give it to your children and tell to do the same with their own. This is the only way to ensure victory and get the forgiveness of our Lord of the Sea."

The three angels disappeared into a thin veil of mist and the warriors carrying the blessed weapons travel through the kingdoms, opening gates to the Underworld and sending the beasts back to their prisons, until the three warriors reached Synnefa, where the Demon King was waiting.

The warriors fought with all their strength, and when the young prince and the humble man lay on the ground, drowned in their own blood, the Stranger took the blue elixir and used it to bring back his allies and clean their weapons.

Thus, the three warriors fought again, finally destroying the body of the prince and sealing away the soul in the Scroll of Shades and hide it on temple of the first men.

At the end, when the light shone again on the continent of Gamma, the Stranger chose to return to his homeland, but on exchange for the help, he demanded as payment the most valuable treasure of Gamma. The six kings, by order of the gods, discussed three days, and three nights, until the mourning of the fourth day, when they decided to give the Stranger the holy elixir that restored life to the dead.

Pleased with the payment, and carrying the blessed sword given to him by the messenger of the God of Death, the Stranger left and was never seen again.

As for the Scroll of Shades, it is said that is cursed by the warriors who were use to create it. Over the years, the scroll that contains the soul of the Demon King has done nothing but give him more power.

The legend has it, that the gods, anticipating the return of the Demon King, will grant the mortals with another blessed gift.
