<p>You are a Grand Master of the New Order of the Kai<ch.emdash/>the warrior <ch.eacute/>lite of Sommerlund.</p>
- <p>It is the year MS 5083, thirty-three years after the First Order of the Kai was almost wiped out by the Darklords of Helgedad. These champions of evil, who were sent by the Dark God Naar to destroy your fertile world of Magnamund, have since been destroyed. Lone Wolf, the leader of your illustrious fighting order, was the sole survivor of the massacre. As a young Kai initiate he stood amidst the burning wreckage of the old Kai Monastery and vowed to avenge the slaughter of his comrades. In the year MS 5070 he kept his pledge when alone he infiltrated the foul domain of the Darklords and destroyed the infernal city of Helgedad, the base of their evil power.</p>
+ <p>It is the year MS<ch.nbsp/>5083, thirty-three years after the First Order of the Kai was almost wiped out by the Darklords of Helgedad. These champions of evil, who were sent by the Dark God Naar to destroy your fertile world of Magnamund, have since been destroyed. Lone Wolf, the leader of your illustrious fighting order, was the sole survivor of the massacre. As a young Kai initiate he stood amidst the burning wreckage of the old Kai Monastery and vowed to avenge the slaughter of his comrades. In the year MS<ch.nbsp/>5070 he kept his pledge when alone he infiltrated the foul domain of the Darklords and destroyed the infernal city of Helgedad, the base of their evil power.</p>
<p>With the fall of Helgedad, chaos befell the Darkland armies who had, until then, been poised to conquer all Magnamund. Quickly their disorder escalated into a mutinous civil war which allowed the Freeland Alliance armies of Magnamund time in which to recover and launch a successful counter-offensive. Against all odds, a swift and total victory was secured over the feuding armies of evil.</p>
- <p>Following the demise of the Darklords, peace reigned in your homeland of Sommerlund. Under the direction of Lone Wolf the ruined Monastery of the Kai was rebuilt and restored to its former glory, and the raising of a New Order of Kai warriors was swiftly established. You are one of this new generation of Kai recruits. You were born in Sommerlund in the year MS 5063, during the time of the war against the Darklords. When you were seven years old you were sent by your father to the Kai Monastery. There, under the tutelage of Lone Wolf, you developed your martial skills and honed the special Kai abilities which lay dormant within you. During the years that followed, your skills were nurtured and sharpened to perfection by long hours of study and rigorous training. Your exceptional talent helped you master all of the Kai and Magnakai Disciplines, and you rose swiftly through the ranks of the New Order to become one of only five who now hold the high rank of Kai Grand Master. It is an achievement which has brought great honour upon you and your family.</p>

- <p>In the year MS 5077 your skill and courage were put to the test when an attack was launched upon the Kai Monastery during Lone Wolf<ch.apos/>s absence. By means of a Shadow Gate (an astral corridor between the physical world of Magnamund and the many ethereal domains which lie beyond it), Naar sent forth a host of dragon-creatures to besiege the monastery and lay waste to all Sommerlund. He had chosen his time well, yet his evil plan was thwarted by the tenacious defence that you and your brethren maintained until the siege was raised by Lone Wolf and the King<ch.apos/>s Army of Sommerlund.</p>

<p>During the six years that have elapsed since the defeat of his minions, Naar has endeavoured to enact his vengeance upon the Kai. He commands many agents of evil upon Magnamund, and quietly they wait in the shadows for the day when they can serve their fell master. One such agent was Baron Sadanzo of Siyen. The Kingdom of Siyen is one of the richest countries in the continent of Southern Magnamund, and it is also one of Sommerlund<ch.apos/>s oldest allies. Sadanzo had its ruler, King Oridon, brutally assassinated so that he could lay claim to the throne in the absence of Prince Karvas, Oridon<ch.apos/>s only son, who lived in exile upon the remote Isle of Sheasu. The Baron was a disciple of Naar and he possessed a sorcerous power that had turned the minds of the Siyenese Court to his will. By use of sorcery he made them support his ascendance to the throne. It was a dangerous threat to Siyen, yet all was not lost. The constitution of Siyen decreed that Prince Karvas had, upon the death of his father, 60 days in which to lay claim to his rightful heritage. Only if he failed to return in time would Sadanzo be elected the new King.</p>

<p>You utter the words of the Old Kingdom Spell <spell>Shield</spell> and draw a circle in the air with the palm of your hand. The giant snake lunges forward and attempts to stab you with its venomous fangs, but it slams against your invisible shield and recoils with a bloodied nose. The creature hisses angrily. You have thwarted its first attack but your shield is beginning to fade. As the remnants of the spell disappear, the creature opens its terrifying jaws and prepares to strike again.</p>

<p>The second serpent rears out of the water and lunges forward in an attempt to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being gouged and then strike a mighty blow to its neck, just as the creature withdraws its head in readiness for a second attack. The great snake hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound, but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it stretches its terrifying jaws and prepares to lunge at your chest.</p>

+ <p>You descend from the ridge and trek across a fallow field towards the derelict remains of Castle Demera, an ancient Eldenoran fortress that was besieged and destroyed by the Salonese in the year MS<ch.nbsp/>4417. Its curtain walls and central keep have long since disappeared, and what little remains of its outer walls is now barely recognizable beneath a blanket of thick moss which covers every surface.</p>
<p>You enter the base of the outer walls and discover a flight of slime-smeared steps leading down into a stone chamber which offers some protection from the heavy rain. The mouldering walls of this chamber are buried beneath a profusion of plants and creepers. You take a closer look at the plants and, to your surprise, you discover a clump of laumspur hidden among the vegetation. (There is sufficient Laumspur here for 2 potions. Each Potion of Laumspur will restore 4 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points to your total when swallowed after combat.) Heartened by this unexpected discovery, you settle yourself in the driest corner of the chamber and drift off to sleep.</p>
<p>The trundling sound of heavy wagons awakens you shortly after dawn. The rain has ceased during the night and the ruins are now bathed in warm autumn sunlight that is filtering through gaps in the clouds. On reaching the surface, you look out across the surrounding fields and catch sight of a sunken road less than a mile away to the north. Columns of Eldenoran army wagons are moving along this highway in both directions. You magnify your vision and see that the wagons heading southeast, towards the River Storn, are heavily laden with supplies. The wagons that travel in the opposite direction, towards Duadon, are mostly empty.</p>

<p>You emerge from beneath the bridge and your boat is carried swiftly away in the grip of the river<ch.apos/>s powerful current. Within the hour you arrive at a point where the river meanders into a hilly, timbered region. It is difficult to navigate this section of the river in the dark and so you decide to stop and rest until daybreak. You beach your boat on the left bank and settle down to sleep under the bough of an oak tree.</p>

<p>You walk past the scribe<ch.apos/>s table and ascend the staircase to the floor above where you discover a corridor lined with marble statues. A black door with a shiny lacquered surface stands at the far end of the corridor, held secure by a combination lock. The three copper dials that protrude from its lock are arranged in the shape of a triangle. You place your ear to the door at the centre of this triangle and, by the use of your Magnakai skills, you are able to hear the delicate sound of the tumbler mechanisms as you turn each dial. By turning each of the dials to its correct setting you will cause the lock to disengage and the door will open.</p>

<p>You surrender to the guardsmen and their leader, a thin-lipped man with jet-black eyes, orders his men to take you away. You offer no resistance as the guards march you off under close escort to their fortified guardroom.</p>
<p>As soon as you enter this daunting military prison, all of your Weapons and equipment are confiscated. Then you are thrown unceremoniously into an empty cell and its iron door is bolted shut. Immediately you set about searching for a way to escape from the cell, but it is only a matter of minutes before the door is thrown open and in rush a dozen guards clad in full battle-armour. They grab you before you can resist them and they pin you to the wall. Seconds later, a Guard Captain strides into the cell carrying your Kai Weapon. Raising it above his head, he steps forward and accuses you of being an enemy spy. You protest that you are innocent, that there has been a terrible mistake, but your desperate pleas fall upon deaf ears. With swift and deadly precision, the Guard Captain strikes you a mighty blow to the head, slaying you instantly with your own blade.</p>
