<description class="blurb">
<p>You are Lone Wolf<ch.emdash/>Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund. The spirit of Vashna, greatest of all the Darklords, is imprisoned deep within the fathomless reaches of the Maakengorge. For centuries, servants of darkness have tried to summon him to do their bidding but always they have failed<ch.ellips/>until now!</p>
<p>In <strong><cite>The Legacy of Vashna</cite></strong>, you must locate and defeat the Darklord<ch.apos/>s minions before they can complete the resurrection of their master<ch.emdash/>the most powerful Lord of Evil your world has ever known. Will you succeed in your quest? Or will you and your fragile world perish in the wrath of Vashna?</p>
<p>Lord Rimoah fears that Naar is plotting to revive Vashna, the greatest of all the Darklords, whose spirit is trapped deep within the fathomless reaches of the Maakengorge. It has remained there, in uneasy entombment, ever since the day the Darklord was defeated in battle by King Ulnar I of Sommerlund. Vashna<ch.apos/>s body, along with those of his loathsome troops, was hurled into the abyss, hopefully never to be seen again. Legend has it that the Darklord<ch.apos/>s body was destroyed but his spirit still lives on. He is said to be awaiting the day when he shall be made to rise, at the head of a vast army of undead warriors, and set loose to wreak his revenge upon Sommerlund and the house of Ulnar.</p>
<p><quote>If it is Naar<ch.apos/>s intention to resurrect Vashna and his army from the depths of the Maakengorge,</quote> said an anxious Lord Rimoah, as you and he discussed the situation in the secure privacy of your vault below the Kai Monastery, <quote>then no free realm upon the face of Magnamund will be safe. It has always been Sommerlund<ch.apos/>s misfortune that Ulnar<ch.apos/>s victory over Vashna was never total. I have always feared that the legacy of the Maakengorge would one day awaken and confront us<ch.ellips/>and I fear, unless we act swiftly, that that day is about to dawn.</quote></p>
<p>For several hours, you and your learned advisor deliberated what could be done to prevent such a catastrophe. You decided that the exact nature of the threat had first to be determined if you were to combat it effectively. You were confident that your Grand Master Disciplines would enable you to unravel this mystery quickly, and so you volunteered to journey to northern Magador and investigate the strange incidents at first hand. After all, there could be a perfectly innocent explanation for them.</p>
- <p><quote>Let us hope it is so, Grand Master,</quote> said Lord Rimoah, earnestly, <quote>but, nevertheless, do not forget what could confront you there. I shall pray to Kai and Ishir to watch over and guide you on the journey ahead, Lone Wolf, and bring you home, swiftly, safely, and victoriously.</quote></p>

- <p>The Elder becomes angry. He scolds you for taking a <quote>forbidden</quote> weapon and he orders you to hand it over to him at once. Aware that most of the acolytes in this section of the boat are watching you, and that any resistance would be sure to lead to the revealing of your true identity, you reach inside your robe and undo the buckle of your weapon<ch.apos/>s belt. It clatters to the deck, and the Elder snatches it up and hurls it into the lake. (Erase from your <a idref="action">Weapons List</a> any hand weapons you possess. If you have a Bow, you may still keep it.)</p>

<p>You draw on your psychic defences to keep you hidden from this creature. You cannot see it in the dense fog but you can hear it swooping down, and you are nearly flattened by the draught of its mighty wings as it roars past close overhead.</p>
- <p>As first it seems to be going away into the distance, but then you sense it turn about and come gliding back for a second pass. Suddenly you realize that your psychic defences are not hiding you from this creature at all; it is locking on to your life-force, not your mind.</p>

<p><quote>Who are you? What do you want?</quote> you hiss, still clutching your weapon defensively. <quote>Are you some cursed illusion, some mind-trick of Naar<ch.apos/>s sent to entrap me? Well, demon, maybe this will wipe the smile off your face.</quote></p>
<p>You strike the young woman a savage blow to the head but to no effect. She laughs again and says, with a mocking tone, <quote>Now do you believe me?</quote></p>
<p>You back away, looking to either side for a way of escaping this creature, but there is none. She advances, and you regard her with fearful caution. She is wearing a worn leather jerkin and ragged trousers which are cut short at the knees, and does not appear to be armed with a weapon.</p>
