-Initial progress on front matter
-
-Change log:
-- TSSF: Changed Oarklands to Darklands as a presumed OCR error.
-Game Rules: retained original list of acceptable Special Items from 13tplor
-As the XML editions of the front matter from 13TPLoR and the Rules Handbook were used to speed the processing of the existing front matter, all remaining errata in the front matter from 13TPLoR apply here, as well. this also means that the Combat Rules example is the one from the Rules Handbook. (it was this editor's opinion that a Combat Ratio of +10 was unrealistic for a first-time player.)
-
-- Inserted coding for <ch.emdash/> and <ch.endash/>
-- Added coding for <quote>, and <thought> markup to appropriate speeches.
-- Pasted blank backmatter
-- Replaced all remaining ' with <ch.apos/>
-- Fixed markup of a few lists of found items
-- Added placeholder code for primary illustrations; full code for combination lock illustrations
-- Fixed dimensions and references on primary illustrations; added formatted placeholder code for secondary illustrations in following commented section
-- Fixed captions in primary illustrations
-
-//////////////////////////
-
-TO DO:
-
-- do the Statuettes of Zagarna and Slutar occupy a Backpack space in addition to a Special Item slot?
-- Footnotes for combination lock answers
-- add "foreign" tags to Giak

<description class="blurb">
<p>You are the Lone Wolf<ch.emdash/>Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund. After the demise of the Darklords of Helgedad, the fearsome city-fortress of Kaag became a refuge for the remains of their broken armies. Defeated and powerless, these minions seemed doomed to live in bitter isolation from the rest of Magnamund. But now a new evil is stirring deep within the dungeons of Kaag.<ch.ellips/></p>
<p>In <cite>The Captives of Kaag</cite>, you must venture alone into the black heart of Kaag, to free your friend from the forces which imprison him against his will. Will you succeed? Or will you and Banedon fall victim to the evil power which commands this fortress of nightmares?</p>

<p>The guard, his neck broken, is no longer a threat to anyone, so you turn your attention to the five Kraan which are feeding on the roof. Gingerly you approach them, hoping not to startle them into flight, but the commotion, and your presence, has made them very uneasy.</p>

Beyond lies an icy-cold corridor where the walls and ceilings are carved with many strange spatial designs.

As if to mirror this the temperature also changes, becoming steadily hotter and drier until, by the time you finally near the corridor<ch.apos/>s end, the heat has become almost furnace-like in intensity. Breathless and bathed with sweat, you stare through the shimmering air and see a great iron door at the end of the passage.</p>

<p>You try the handle and discover the door is unlocked. Inside, you find a room lit by four wall sconces. A single bed, a trestle table, a stool and a wooden trunk are the only furnishings in this spartan abode. A filthy curtain partitions this room from the next and, as you approach it, you hear a menacing growl that makes you reach for your weapon. It is the growl of an Akataz: a Drakkarim war-dog.</p>

- <data>
- <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) The Discipline bonuses mentioned do not affect your permanent scores. If you have completed previous adventures, the Disciplines that you have mastered may still be beneficial. See the Grand Master Rules section of the <a href="&link.rh;">Readers<ch.apos/> Handbook</a> for details.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) Note that this list is not identical to the one used in <bookref series="lw" book="13tplor"><cite>The Plague Lords of Ruel</cite></bookref>: this list is missing the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard. These items are restored to the list of permissible items from the Kai and Magnakai series again in <bookref series="lw" book="17tdoi"><cite>The Deathlord of Ixia</cite></bookref>. Presumably, therefore, it should be permissible to leave the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard in safekeeping at the monastery during the intervening books and retrieve them at the outset of <bookref series="lw" book="17tdoi"><cite>The Deathlord of Ixia</cite></bookref>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="discplnz">Grand Master Disciplines</a>) The rules of the books in the Magnakai series (6-12) and the fact that the <quote>rank of Kai Grand Defender<ch.ellips/> means you are skilled in two<ch.ellips/> weapons</quote> imply that for each book that you complete of the Grand Master series (13-20), you will gain mastery of an additional Weapon. E.g. if you complete <cite>The Plague Lords of Ruel</cite> and have the Grand Master Discipline of Grand Weaponmastery at the beginning of the next book, you can choose an additional Weapon from the list to have mastery of.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect3">3</a>) This section corresponds to the correct answer to the Kagonite door lock in <a idref="sect127">Section 127</a> and <a idref="sect319">Section 319</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect8">8</a>) This section corresponds to the correct answer to the lock on the exit from the torture chamber of the Nadziranim in <a idref="sect220">Section 220</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect20">20</a>) This section corresponds to the correct answer to the lock on the <quote>stout steel-sheathed doors</quote> in <a idref="sect181">Section 181</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect62">62</a>) Presumably by <quote>double all bonuses it bestows upon you</quote> you are meant to receive a 16 point bonus to your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect127">127</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect181">181</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect220">220</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect230">230</a>) Kika are one-tenth of the value of a Gold Crown and also take up one-tenth of the space of a Gold Crown.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect263">263</a>) Presumably by <quote>double all bonuses it bestows upon you</quote> you are meant to receive a 16 point bonus to your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect319">319</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
