The great evil Lords are gone but our people lack direction and purpose in their lives... A champion of virtue is called for. Thou may be this champion, but only time shall tell. I will aid thee any way that I can! How may I help thee? |

britannia | He says: Even though the Great Evil Lords have been routed evil yet remains in Britannia.

help | He says: To survive in this hostile land thou must first know thyself! Seek ye to master thy weapons and thy magical ability! helpTake great care in these thy first travels in Britannia. Until thou dost well know thyself, travel not far from the safety of the townes! Travel not the open lands alone. There are many worthy people in the diverse townes whom it would be wise to ask to Join thee! Build thy party unto eight travellers, for only a true leader can win the Quest! Learn ye the paths of virtue. Seek to gain entry unto the eight shrines! Find ye the Runes, needed for entry into each shrine, and learn each chant or "Mantra" used to focus thy meditations. Within the Shrines thou shalt learn of the deeds which show thy inner virtue or vice! Choose thy path wisely for all thy deeds of good and evil are remembered and can return to hinder thee! Visit the Seer Hawkwind often and use his wisdom to help thee prove thy virtue. When thou art ready, Hawkwind will advise thee to seek the Elevation unto partial Avatarhood in a virtue. Seek ye to become a partial Avatar in all eight virtues, for only then shalt thou be ready to seek the codex! Go ye now into the depths of the dungeons. Therein recover the 8 colored stones from the altar pedestals in the halls of the dungeons. Find the uses of these stones for they can help thee in the Abyss! Thou art doing very well indeed on the path to Avatarhood! Strive ye to achieve the Elevation in all eight virtues! Find ye the Bell, Book and Candle! With these three things, one may enter the Great Stygian Abyss! Before thou dost enter the Abyss thou shalt need the Key of Three Parts, and the Word of Passage. Then might thou enter the Chamber of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom! Thou dost now seem ready to make the final journey into the dark Abyss! Go only with a party of eight! Good Luck, and may the powers of good watch over thee on this thy most perilous endeavor! The hearts and souls of all Britannia go with thee now. Take care, my friend. |
