<p>Through the haze of a dream, your senses pass from sleep to waking. Opening your eyes, you see the wrinkled face of Urik, gazing intently into your own. <quote>How&ellips; how long?</quote> you falter.</p>
<p><quote>Three days. Three nights. Deep sleep have healing ways&emdash;is true?</quote> Urik replies. You sit up in the hammock that has been your resting place these past three days and look around. Bright sunlight streams in through the window of the wooden chamber. The events of the past weeks rush through your mind. With some surprise, you note that your body is unmarked after the horrors of your ordeal. Even the Mantiz bite on your leg has disappeared.</p>
<p><quote>Kundi magic,</quote> Urik explains, mysteriously. Your tattered, grey robes, washed and repaired, are laid out for you, and when you have breakfasted on fresh <!--ERRTAG-RE-45701-->rainwater<!--/ERRTAG-RE-45701--> and honey cakes, you are led out to meet King Okosa once more. You marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the cloud forest that is the home of the Kundi people. Urik leads, shambling along with his comical, bow-legged walk and toothless smile and you cross the wooden walkways that connect the tree houses of the Kundi. They nestle amongst the highest branches of giant Azawood trees, whose towering heights and leafy peaks draw moisture from the clouds themselves: the wooden turrets of a forest castle surrounded by an ocean of cloud.</p>

<p>You are brought before the Kundi king once more. He and his advisers are gathered in the largest of the tree houses and old Urik ushers you in. <quote>You are well?</quote> the king asks. You nod your head and thank him and his people for treating you with such kindness.</p>
<p><quote>Long ago,</quote> the king continues, <quote>before Wytch-king, Shasarak, rose in the north, the Shianti and Kundi tribes&emdash;great friends. Shianti need magical sight of Kundi to look into other worlds, see other planes. Only Shianti can go there. Only Kundi can see there&ellips; We help each other. Learn many things. But when Shianti leave, Wytch-king lead Shadakine peoples against us, burning the forests of our home in Mountains of Lara. Now, Shianti send great wizard to destroy evil Wytch-king, throw down Shadakine. Kundi men give all their help, in honour of our friendship. How we aid you?</quote></p>
<p><quote>I must travel to the Daziarn plane and reclaim the Moonstone of old,</quote> you reply. <quote>My masters tell me that I must seek out the Shadow Gate, the doorway that is invisible to all but the eyes of the noble Kundi. I ask you for a guide to take me there.</quote></p>

<p>A vast, amorphous mass of slime and mud, wreathed with vines and dead vegetation, rises up out of the quagmire you have just passed. It reaches out and grabs you while you remain entranced, and presses you against its filth-encrusted body in a crushing bear hug. (Lose 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.) You are being held by a Swamp Giant and it intends to squeeze the life out of you.</p>

<p>The passage eventually opens on to the Mountains of Morn. It is night and a full moon shines brightly in the sky. Below is the barren expanse of Desolation Valley: a vast wasteland of melted rock and craters. The plain is covered with pot-holes, and, as the wind blows across them, they sigh like a tortured soul moaning at the mountains. <quote>How long has the full moon shone?</quote> you ask Urik.</p>

The pot-holes lead downwards but there are hundreds of them; which way should you go?</p>
<p>Suddenly, a gruesome sight slithers from one of these holes. Its long, snaking body is bone white and skeletal; but its pale eyes, without pupils, reveal a deadly malice, a blind evil. It is a Scree Wyrm and it is slithering towards you.</p>

<p>The Warward's mind is already weak with fear and it is a simple matter to exert your power over his brain and grip it with a murderous compulsion. Suddenly, the Warward walks towards the Shadakine Wytch, unable to resist the desire to slay that you have placed in his mind.</p>

<p>You leave the city far behind, as you and Urik struggle to match the pace of the giant's long stride. You head north for the Belzar River, which traces a westerly course towards the Mountains of Morn and the infamous dead lands. By the time you reach the river, night is upon you and you are nearly asleep on your feet. You tell the giant that you are too exhausted to continue and he stops to allow you to make camp. He has a supply of food which he shares with you before you fall into a deep sleep by the gentle lapping of the waters of the Belzar River.</p>

<p>The following morning, you continue on your journey. The Belzar Hills on the far side of the river seem to frown upon you as you pass and you are troubled by a gnawing doubt. Urik seems to share this doubt and he continually looks over his shoulder with an anxious expression on his face. When you stop at midday to rest, you voice your doubt to your companions.</p>
<p><quote>There is a simple explanation,</quote> says Samu, confidently. <quote>We are being followed.</quote></p>
<p>You dart a startled look at Urik. <quote>I think Samu speak truth,</quote> he says.</p>
<data>
<p>Samu enters the grove of trees. Held in a headlock, and gurgling pleas for release, is a scrawny-looking man, dressed in a leather jerkin and bright scarlet breeches immediately you recognize him as the thief who tried to steal your money in the cavern of the Freedom Guild. <quote>What are you doing here? State your <!--ERRTAG-RE-102536-->purpose!<!--/ERRTAG-RE-102536--></quote> you say, leaping to your feet. The thief lets out a long gurgle by way of reply.</p>

<p><quote>What are you doing here?</quote> you repeat, angrily. Samu tightens his grip on the thief's neck.</p>
<p><quote>Being&ellips; strangled!</quote> he squawks, clawing desperately at the thick arm around his neck.</p>
<p>You give Samu a nod and the brawny giant releases his grip. The thief collapses to the floor in an untidy heap, choking for breath and rubbing his bruised throat. Urik chortles with laughter. <quote>Get up!</quote> you command.</p>
<p>The water is poisonous and, as it affects your body, you panic and begin to sink. Hugi and Urik have already reached the other side but, as soon as Samu sees you struggling, he strikes out towards you. With strong hands he grabs your robe and pulls you to the surface. Panting and gasping for breath, he hurls you to the safety of the river bank and slowly you crawl up the bank. The water you have swallowed has cost you 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points. Suddenly, Urik gives a <!--ERRTAG-RE-107695-->cry: <quote>Samu!</quote><!--/ERRTAG-RE-107695--></p>
<p>You turn in time to see Samu's flailing arms disappear beneath the surface of the water. You are stunned and dismayed. He disappears completely from sight, swept away by the waters of the poisonous Belzar River.</p>
<p>With tears in your eyes, you walk in silence towards the walls of the Forbidden City.</p>

<p><quote>NO!</quote> you shout into the emptiness.</p>
<p><quote>Turn aside, Grey Star. Turn aside. You dare not stand against me.</quote> The grim figure casts aside his hood and the shadow passes to a blood-red light, revealing a hideous face. Half of the face is missing and, in its place, a metal plate gives shape to the ruined visage of wasted flesh and scarred tissue. One eye is shrunken and sightless, while the other burns with the intensity of the sun.

<p>Urik gives you a look of bewilderment. You nod confidently, as if you know exactly what you are doing. The bizarre procession of madmen and mad women moves at a stately pace through the wide archway that leads from the throne room. Samu looks as solemn as ever but Hugi's face wears an expression of astonishment. You enter a dim, candlelit hall dominated by a long table. Rats scuttle across the table, running for their bolt holes as the assemblage enters the room. You sit down and wait to see what happens next. <quote>Dinner is served,</quote> announces a gaunt, grey-faced servant. A limping, squeaking, three-wheeled trolley is pushed into the room. At the far end <!--ERRTAG-RE-120711-->of the table<!--/ERRTAG-RE-120711-->, the deranged king moistens his lips with his coated tongue and tucks the table cloth into the top of his torn silk shirt.

<p>Nearby, you can hear the shouts of the Shadakine Warriors as they search for you. You are surrounded by tall reeds and rushes and, for the moment, you are out of sight. You keep very still.

<p>Meanwhile, Hugi has busied himself with his search for gold. <quote>No gold&ellips; nothing,</quote> he blubbers.</p>
<p><quote>Come now, we have no time for this, Hugi. Is there another way out of here?</quote></p>
<p>Disgruntled by the lack of treasure, Hugi ambles to the far side of the cavern and points to an outcrop of rough-hewn granite. <quote>Here is a door,</quote> he says, <quote>but it is magic-locked. A problem for you to solve, eh Wizard?</quote></p>
<p><quote>The land beyond the Mountains of Morn, the region that is called Desolation Valley, was once the heart of a great kingdom, a nation called Taklakot. One day, a mighty wizard came amongst them, and he bore a great gift, so they thought. It was a magical stone which harnessed the fire of the sun. The people of Taklakot grew in knowledge but it was a power gained without wisdom and a great calamity befell them. Somehow, the fire of the Sun stone was released and in a single day an entire race was wiped from the face of the Earth. The barren land you see around you is the result of that fateful day; its curse still lingers.</quote></p>
<p><quote>But what of the Forbidden City? Why does it still stand?</quote> asks Samu.</p>
<p><quote>The mountains that surround the valley held the blast. The Forbidden City, or Gyanima as it was called, stands beyond those mountains. It was built to guard the pass through the mountains and is the only remnant of a dead civilization.</quote> A greedy light gleams in Hugi's eyes. <quote>The value of its treasures is immeasurable,</quote> he breathes.</p>

Once more, you ponder the incredible bleakness of the place. You gaze across the Belzar River, and to the hills beyond, and an involuntary shiver runs down your spine.

A large wound oozes blood from its side. Urik explains that it is a young Chaksu, a much sought after beast. The adult grows to as much as ten feet in height and Chaksu hide is an expensive commodity, much in demand due to its toughness and elasticity. It is said that the wealth of the city of Karnali that stands on the edge of the Gurlu Marshes was built upon its trade in Chaksu hides and hunters frequently come to the marshes in search of their fortune.</p>

The largest of the Chaksu, and mother of the young Chaksu you have protected, reaches out and grabs the Shadakine officer by the neck. With a deathly grip, she lifts him off the ground.

It was through this gorge that you came in search of the Azanam, and the lost Kundi tribe. There it was that your friend and guide, Shan Li the merchant, died so terribly, devoured by a poisonous Quoku, the flying amphibians that inhabit the desolate land. Your silent reverie is interrupted by the sound of Urik calling to you from above. <quote>Azagad hold sad memories for Grey Star?</quote> he enquires sympathetically. You nod your head, not thinking to ask how he knew what was on your mind. <quote>No time for sorrow now&ellips; time fly!

You take up the creeper and look at it in puzzlement. <quote>Make yourself a harness and tie it on&emdash;good and tight,</quote> he orders. You do as he suggests and before you can question his purpose, he produces a carved flute.

The Wyrm's attack weakens and, as it does, you strike out with the might of your Staff. A bolt of power shudders through the fearful creature as its body tenses before flopping lifelessly to the ground.<a id="sect262-1" idref="sect262-1-foot" class="footnote" /> Disdainfully, Samu gives the carcass a kick and the creature disappears through one of the pot-holes that litter the desolate plain.</p>

<p>The following day, you, Urik and the fighters of the Freedom Guild are ensconced in the tall grass at the edge of the marsh. In the distance gleams the city of Karnali overlooking the Suhni and Belzar Rivers. Along the Great Suhn Road that leads east away from Karnali, you see a long line of men, women and children: slaves of the Shadakine. Warriors walk up and down the line, brandishing flails with needless ferocity. Suddenly, the charge is sounded and a wave of men pours out of the brush and runs towards the column of slaves.</p>

<p>The Shadakine <!--ERRTAG-RE-307675-->guards fall<!--/ERRTAG-RE-307675--> into defensive positions along the road, but the stealth of the ambush outmanoeuvres them and they have no time to deploy effectively. <quote>Shall we?</quote> you ask Urik. He grins broadly and gives vent to a bellowing yell before shambling out of the brush towards the fray as fast as his old bones will allow. You follow behind.</p>

<p>It is a sleep that gives you no rest.

<p>With a gesture of his ruined hand, he shows you the vision of a young girl, sobbing, surrounded by a pool of darkness. With a dull ache in your heart you recognize the girl. It is Tanith, the Wytch girl who helped you escape from a Shadakine prison in the Port of Suhn and finally leapt to her death to save you. Now, trapped upon another plane, she weeps alone, her eyes wild with fear. <quote>Tanith!</quote> you call into the void of your dream.</p>
<p>Shasarak laughs, savagely. <quote>She cannot hear you, Wizard. No one can hear her now. She is mine to torment as and when I wish. And my imagination knows no limit in the matter of torment&emdash;in that field I rule supreme.</quote> The Wytch-king begins to laugh with malicious glee, relishing Tanith's plight and your misery at witnessing it. <quote>Turn aside, Grey Star, or she is lost.</quote> With the howl of Shasarak's mocking laughter ringing in your ears, you wake with a start. You have lost 1 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point and 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point during the night.</p>
<p>In the grey light of dawn you trudge towards the Forbidden City, your companions walking silently by your side. Soon, you are able to see the outline of the city in the distance. A few more hours and you will be standing before its gates. There is only one solution to the sinking of your heart and the mounting ache that racks your mind: you must complete your quest.</p>
<p>You cause the tip of your <!--ERRTAG-RA-334885-->Staff<!--/ERRTAG-RA-334885--> to emit a dim glow that illuminates the interior of your prison. You are in a large, low-ceilinged chamber, littered with shards of fallen masonry. Urik and Hugi lie in a far corner. They both remain silent. What use are words now? (The cost of creating a light from your <!--ERRTAG-RA-334885-->Staff<!--/ERRTAG-RA-334885--> has been 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point.)</p>
<p>You curse your bad luck. You are sure that some wizardry is required to free you from this prison, but you are weak and still have to reach Desolation Valley. It is sure to hold other dangers for you. You are suddenly distracted from this moody introspection by the sound of shouting voices, and the noise of a struggle coming from above. Suddenly, the door of the chamber is thrown open. Looking down on you is the figure of Samu, smiling broadly, sword in hand. <quote>How?</quote> you cry in disbelief.</p>
<p><quote>The river carried me downstream before I was able to resist its current,</quote> says <!--ERRTAG-RE-335965-->Samu. <quote>I've<!--/ERRTAG-RE-335965--> been looking for you everywhere. Luckily for you, I was nearby when the wretches of this city caught you. I saw them bring you to this crypt. Wait a moment.</quote> Swiftly, he turns and slashes at a wretch who is trying to drag him away from the door. He swats his assailant like a fly then turns to face you once more. <quote>Come, we must hurry.</quote></p>

<p>He pulls each of you out in turn, and stops to deliver a kick at two wretches blocking a doorway that leads from the crypt. <quote>This way,</quote> he says, indicating a narrow passage that leads upwards. <quote>These creatures seem reluctant to travel this passage. They will not follow, I think.</quote></p>
<p>You run down the passage as fast as you can with Samu protecting the rear. At the end of the passage is a heavy door. Urik swings it open and you all dash through.</p>

<p>Despite the soullessness of the being, the Kleasá emits a great howling yell of triumph and expands like a great black cloud of terror. With the Black Rod in its possession it is freed from the mastery of Shasarak&emdash;free to roam the universe at will.</p>

<p>As the Kleasá soars up into the air, its shape extended like a great bat's wing, the Shadow Gate truly appears before you: a great, grey arch, a window to other worlds filled with formless mists and nightmare glimpses. Tanith stands before you on the other side of the threshold and, without hesitation, you step through.</p>
