You are Lone Wolf
In The Deathlord of Ixia, you must journey to the forbidden city of Xaagon
There is some confusion around the use of the term Old Kingdom
in this book. Although the native Ixians are often described as belonging to the time of the Old Kingdoms
(Section 152), it is clear from the fact that the Deathlord destroyed them during the Age of Eternal Night that they could not have existed during the Age of the Old Kingdoms which began more than 1000 years after the Age of Eternal Night ended. (See The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
.) The author may have used the term Old Kingdom
to refer to any humanoid nation prior to the appearance of the Shianti.
You are Grand Master Lone Wolf, last of the Kai Lords of Sommerlund and sole survivor of a massacre that wiped out the First Order of your
It is the year MS 5077, twenty-seven years since your brave kinsmen perished at the hands of the Darklords of Helgedad. These champions of evil, who were sent forth by Naar, the King of the Darkness, to destroy the fertile world of Magnamund, have themselves since been destroyed. You vowed to avenge the murder of the Kai and you kept your pledge, for it was you who brought about their downfall when alone you infiltrated their foul domain
In the wake of their destruction, chaos befell the Darkland armies who, until then, had been poised to conquer all of Magnamund. Some factions which comprised this huge army, most notably the barbaric Drakkarim, began to fight with the others for control. This disorder quickly escalated into an allout civil war which allowed the Freeland armies of Magnamund time in which to recover and launch a counter-offensive. Their commanders exploited the chaos skilfully and secured a swift and total victory over an enemy far superior in numbers.

Their commanders exploited the chaos skilfully and secured a swift and total victory over an enemy far superior in numbers.
For seven years now peace has reigned in Sommerlund. Under your direction the once-ruined monastery of the Kai has been thoroughly rebuilt and restored to its former glory, and the task of teaching a Second Order of Kai warriors the skills and proud traditions of your ancestors is also well established. The new generation of Kai recruits, all of whom were born during the era of war against the Darklords, possess latent Kai skills and show exceptional promise. These skills will be nurtured and honed to perfection during their time at the Monastery so that they may teach and inspire future generations, thereby ensuring the continued security of your homeland in future years.
Your attainment of the rank of Kai Grand Master brought with it great rewards. Some, such as the restoration of the Kai and the undying gratitude of your fellow Sommlending, could have been anticipated. Yet there have also been rewards which you could not possibly have foreseen. The discovery that within you lay the potential to develop Kai Disciplines beyond those of the Magnakai, which, until now, were thought to be the ultimate that a Kai Master could aspire to, was truly a revelation. Your discovery has inspired you to set out upon a new and previously unknown path in search of the wisdom and power that no Kai Lord before you has ever possessed. In the name of your creator, the God Kai, and for the greater glory of Sommerlund and the Goddess Ishir, you have vowed to reach the very pinnacle of Kai perfection
With diligence and determination you set about the restoration of the Kai Monastery and the training of the Second Order recruits. Your efforts were soon rewarded for within the space of two short years, the first raw recruits had graduated to become a cadre of gifted Kai Masters who, in turn, were able to commence the teaching of their skills to subsequent intakes of Kai novices. The Kai Masters rose to their newfound responsibilities readily, leaving you free to devote more of your time to the pursuit and perfection of the Grand Master Disciplines. During this period you also received expert tutelage in the ways of magic from two of your most trusted friends and advisors: Guildmaster Banedon, leader of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star, and Lord Rimoah, speaker for the High Council of the Elder Magi.
-In the deepest subterranean level of the Monastery, a hundred feet below the Tower of the Sun, you ordered the excavation and construction of a special vault. In this magnificent chamber wrought of granite and gold, you placed the seven Lorestones of Nyxator, the gems of Kai power which you had recovered during your quest for the Magnakai. It was here, bathed in the golden light of those radiant gems, that you spent countless hours in pursuit of perfection. Sometimes alone, sometimes in the company of your two able advisors

It was here, bathed in the golden light of those radiant gems, that you spent countless hours in pursuit of perfection. Sometimes alone, sometimes in the company of your two able advisors
At this time many changes were occurring beyond the borders of Sommerlund. In the regions to the northeast of Magador and the Maakengorge, the Elder Magi of Dessi and the Herbwardens of Bautar were working together in an effort to restore the dusty volcanic wasteland to its former fertile state. It was the first tentative step towards the reclamation of all the Darklands. However, their progress was painfully slow, and both parties were resigned to the fact that their efforts to undo the damage caused by the Darklords would take centuries to complete.
Elsewhere, throughout Northern Magnamund, peace reigns victorious and the peoples of the Free Kingdoms rejoice in the knowledge that the age of the Darklords has finally come to an end. Readily men have exchanged their swords for hoes and their shields for ploughs, and now the only marching they do is along the ruts of their freshly furrowed fields. Few are the watchful eyes that scan the distant horizon in fear of what may appear, although there are still those who maintain their vigilance, for the agents of Naar come in many guises and there are those upon Magnamund who wait quietly in the shadows for the chance to do his evil bidding.
Already your newfound skills have been tested against Naar
My lord, do you wish me to go to Ixia
you replied, expecting Rimoah to affirm your assumption.
Partly so, my lord,
he said, holding you with his steel-grey eyes, but I fear that already it has fallen into the hands of an enemy
You faintly remembered having heard this name before but were unable to recall any detail. Lord Rimoah, seeing that you were unable to give an answer, obliged with an impromptu history lesson:
-The Deathlord of Ixia was once lieutenant to Agarash the Damned
said Rimoah, his head bowed as he paced the granite floor of your vault. During the Age of Eternal Night he conquered much of Northern Magnamund, including the realm of Ixia which was once a rich and very fertile land. He destroyed the native Ixians, transforming them into a legion of undead servants under his command. Many centuries later, when my ancestors defeated Agarash during the Age of the Old Kingdoms, they magically imprisoned the weakened Deathlord in a secret tomb within the dread city of Xaagon, near to the southern coast of Ixia. For thousands of years his tomb lay undisturbed until the first of the Drakkarim appeared on Magnamund. They entered Xaagon and found the Deathlord

My lord, are you telling me that the Deathlord of Ixia is now free of this prison and in possession of the Deathstaff?
you asked, fearing Lord Rimoah
Yes, Grand Master. I
For hours, you and your trusted advisor deliberated over what could be done to prevent this unspeakable disaster from befalling Magnamund. You considered a muster of the Freeland armies and an immediate attack upon Ixia, but such a plan simply could not be executed. The peninsula of Ixia is far too remote and desolate a territory to be reached by any Freeland army on foot, and, with winter already so far advanced, any ship-borne invasion would be doomed to fail. Time was also against you. The Deathlord had to be stopped as quickly as possible before he could unleash an army of undead upon Magnamund, an unkillable army that would grow larger with every battle it fought against the living.

Once again the freezing air is filled with cries of fear and chaos. Drawn by these frightful sounds, you run to the stone parapet and look down to see the great black ship come shuddering to a halt beside the harbour wall. Instantly, a horde of undead warriors leap on to the quayside and rush off in pursuit of the routing Lencians. Their eyes burn with an unnatural fire and they howl like demons as mercilessly they hunt down their human prey.

This vaulted, oblong-shaped hall is illuminated by flickerings of electrical fire which arc between two freestanding pillars at the far end of the chamber. Beyond the pillars you can make out the shadowy entrance to another chamber; it is the only other exit from this hall. You realize at once that to pass between the pillars could prove to be fatal: the power arcing between them is as great as any lightning storm raging in the skies above Xaagon. Yet there may be a way of avoiding contact with this raw power.

At the end of the hallway you arrive at a flight of metal stairs which ascend to a heavy, bronze-banded door. This sealed door appears to be a recent addition to the vessel; it is secured by a curious combination lock which you recognize to be Drakkarim in design.
The lock comprises three raised blocks, each of which is divided into four equal squares. In each square, except one, there is a number. You have encountered this type of lock before and are aware that by tapping the empty square a correct number of times, you will cause the lock to disengage and the door to open.

The Deathlord reels from the force of the impact, but he recovers swiftly and slashes with the sharp tip of the Deathstaff at your face. You duck the blow, but you sense that this is only the opening exchange in what will surely be a titanic fight to the finish.

Banedon returns your Weapon and you examine the Dessi Stone carefully for a few moments before sheathing it in your belt.
With the Dessi Stone fitted into its hilt, your Weapon now inflicts double
You sense that the wisps of black smoke are a manifestation of several evil beings, each possessed of a strong psychic presence. Fearing attack, you quickly draw upon your Kai Mastery to construct a Mindfort to protect yourself from psychic assault. It is a wise precaution. Moments after the Mindfort is in place, the wisps streak across the chamber and encircle your body. They accelerate to a dizzying speed before launching a massive wave of psychic energy at your mind. Fortunately for you, this tidal wave crashes against the walls of your Mindfort and dissipates harmlessly into a thousand motes of light.

You lower your head and tug your cloak closer about your shoulders as you climb stoically towards the distant cave. You are within a few dozen yards of its inviting entrance when suddenly a crackling arc of lightning streaks down and hits you between the shoulder blades. The impact burns a hole clean through your Backpack and hurls you face-first into the snow and ice.
-You follow Captain Lanza as he races down to the base of the watchtower and hurries off along the slate-cobbled avenue which leads directly to the harbour. As he runs he curses and barks orders at the garrison soldiers who are fleeing from the quay, but they are wide-eyed with terror and all appear deaf to his commands. As you reach a bend in the road, you see the great black ship shuddering to a halt alongside the harbour wall. Instantly, a horde of undead warriors leap on to the quay and come rushing in pursuit of the routing Lencians. Their eyes burn with an unnatural fire and they howl like unchained demons as they mercilessly hunt their human prey.
Lanza manages to rally a dozen of his best men to form a defensive line across the narrow avenue. With their shields overlapping and their swords poised ready to thrust, they brace themselves to receive the first wave of undead. The pugnacious Captain shouts words of encouragement to stave off their fear but it is clear to you that every single one of them is terrified. Their faces are drenched with sweat despite the biting cold.
+With a hideous howl, the advancing mass of undead fall upon their line, hacking and stabbing at their shield-wall with their rust-dulled blades. The Lencians fight back furiously, shattering bones and cleaving skulls, but they are forced to give ground before the pressing onslaught.

Then, from the midst of the enemy ranks, a grisly creature clad in mouldering black robes comes bursting through the shield-wall. A Lencian turns to thrust his sword into the creature

+You examine the intricate lockplate and determine that it operates by psychic energy. You study the intricate patterns which embellish it and gradually you realize that they give clues to a three-digit number. By projecting the image of this number at the lock, using your psychic powers, you will release the locking mechanism and cause the door to open.
The first of the three numbers is equal to the number of islands which can be found between the Tozaz Sea and the Gulf of Konkor.
The second of the three numbers is equal to the total of islands which can be found in Lake Ghargon.
The third and final number is equal to the number of cities that can be found on the banks of the River Zegar.

You leave the harbour and set a northerly course to Ixia. It is less than an hour past noon and yet the winter night has already closed in. You share this icy darkness with a crew of six Lencian outposters, all of whom volunteered for this perilous mission. Lanza has ordered them to land you on the coast of Ixia and wait at anchor for seven days for you to return; they must wait no longer.
The blackness is lit only by the throbbing green glow which radiates from the sphere. You stare at this mesmerizing light and you are gripped by a feeling of unease. Your Kai senses warn you that there is a lingering aura of evil aboard this ship.
-It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians reigned in the time of the Old Kingdoms
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
Quickly you turn and hurry down the stone staircase. The Drakkarim patrol you sighted earlier is nowhere to be seen, enabling you to leave the barbican and enter Xaagon without further confrontation.
-Warily you trek through the awesome ruins of this age-old city, where once, in the time of the Old Kingdoms, a proud and mighty race reigned supreme. You have just passed a derelict mausoleum when you are forced to halt and hide from a passing troop of Ixian warriors. You watch as they march swiftly along an ice-choked avenue towards a plaza that is dominated by a huge frozen fountain. Beyond the fountain
Warily you trek through the awesome ruins of this age-old city, where once, in the time of the Old Kingdoms, a proud and mighty race reigned supreme.
Two days out from the Tozaz ice-field, you catch sight of Fort Azgad. After the ordeal of Ixia, the sight of this spartan little outpost is one of the most welcoming you have ever seen. The garrison salutes you as you bring your ship to the quayside where Lord Ardan, Captain Lanza, and Prarg are all waiting to welcome you back.
Warmly they congratulate you, praising your inspired act of courage and bravery but you sense that all is not well. The feeling of unease which haunted you upon leaving the ice-caverns of Ixia has returned.

(The Story So FarOld Kingdom
in this book. Although the native Ixians are often described as belonging to the time of the Old Kingdoms
(Section 152), it is clear from the fact that the Deathlord destroyed them during the Age of Eternal Night that they could not have existed during the Age of the Old Kingdoms which began more than 1000 years after the Age of Eternal Night ended. (See The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
.) The author may have used the term Old Kingdom
to refer to any humanoid nation prior to the appearance of the Shianti.

+(100) This is the correct answer to the intricate lockplate in the center of the green crystal door in Section 322.
+(123) It is unclear whether a 0 picked on the Random Number Table should count as exactly 0. Since the procedure described here is similar to the procedure for Kai-blast, and you are required to be a Sun Lord who has mastered Kai-surge, it would be reasonable to count 0 as a 1 in the same way as for Kai-blast.
+(125) Kajarda are undead. (See Section 6, 8, 52, 103, 120, or 265.)
+(137) Unless you have Grand Weaponmastery and are a Sun Knight or higher, you may not use a two-handed weapon (i.e. Broadsword, Quarterstaff, and Spear) for this combat.
+(141) Assuming that this weaponry was created by native Ixians prior to their destruction at the hands of the Deathlord since no other nation has occupied Ixia since that time, it is impossible to reconcile calling them Old Kingdom armourers
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
(152) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians reigned in the time of the Old Kingdoms
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
(162) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that Old Kingdom magic is older
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
and the statements about the origin of magical power in The Realms of Northern Magnamund: The Birth of Magnamund
and The Realms of Southern Magnamund: Man, Magic and the Moonstone
in that same book. According to The Magnamund Companion, magic entered Magnamund with the Elder Magi long after Agarash and his minion, the Deathlord.
(165) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians were a race of the Old Kingdoms
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
(179) It is unclear whether Grand Huntmastery should help you find food in this situation. Note that this appears to be the only section within the Grand Master books where Huntmastery is not mentioned in when you are required to eat a Meal. This either means that the current omission is intentional because the author is otherwise so consistent, or it means that Huntmastery was intended to be applied in all situations and this is a unintentional omission.
+(213) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 199.
+(220) This is a permanent enhancement to this Weapon.
+(239) There is no path which leads to this section of the book. It is functionally identical to Section 23 and Section 242, and therefore its isolation does not affect the gameplay of the book.
+(287) Kajarda are undead. (See Section 6, 8, 52, 103, 120, or 265.)
+(322) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 84.
+(343) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians reigned in the time of the Old Kingdoms
with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now
. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
