Introductionwherein Kael confronts Malifrax th e Ancient in Glorious Battle,an d unravels the mystery of Gulllying within.

With a pierci ng shriek, steel skittered across scale and man met dragon, andbetw een them the earth shook with the f u r y of an unleashed god."Surrender, fool!" the dragon bellowed. Golden sparks geysered f r o m the beast,casting a black silhouett e across th e tiny f i g u r e . "I have existed f o r ten times yourmiserable existence and I was old while y o u r grandfather's grandfather wa s still asnivelling infant. The lords of fate have called your name!"The air crackled as M al i f r ax bathed th e warrior in leaping nacreous f l ames ,j u t t i n g hi s head ever f o r war d , hi s crimson eyes wild an d f e r al with victory. F or abrief moment, Kael's shield held, parting th e f iery blast into tw o swirling gouts o ff l ame, but within seconds the leather surrendered, exploding into a hundreds m o k i n g shards. Screaming, he fel l to his knees.With a bellow matched only by the hell of an exploding volcano, the dragonlashed backwards as something slammed into the depths of his gaping maw.Clawing his way toward the dark lake behind him, he realized that the warrior'sscream was no scream at all...

"...JINILFANTHOR KRI N'GYH!" Silver r ay s emanated from Kael'sglowing f o r m as he shouted the final syl lables of the deadly incantation.M al i f r ax writhed, his head ringing with a high-pitched keen that howled upf r o m his tortured gullet, and, exploding through his throat, filled the cavern. Otherharmonies rose to meet the first, whined, slammed through him.

"Treacherous worm!" Malifrax boomed. "You challenge ME?"Pinpoint blasts erupted along the dragon's writhing body, popping scales asgreen ichor seeped f r o m gaping wounds. Dazed, he weaved backwards, slamminghis head against the cave roof to clear the sounds ringing in his head. As Kaelw a ve re d in his vision f o r a moment, M al i f r ax drew in a breath. Foolish human, he'sl e f t himself vulnerable, th e dragon thought, At last I have him... With a crash likelightning he toppled, his last f iery breath wasted on smoking rock.Kael inched closer to his downed foe. Snatching a rock f r o m the loose screebeneath his f eet , he chucked it at the motionless beast."M a l i f ra x ! " Kael shouted. " M al i f r ax , don't believe me fool enough to comecloser. I know y o u y e t live."

The dragon hissed as his eyes drifted open, his once brilliant gaze fi lmed by ag ra y ish membrane. Trembling as he rolled over, rocks gnashed beneath his incred-ible bulk."Yesssss. I am yet alive," he replied. He turned his head ever so slightly, andglared at the warrior as saliva and gore dripped f r o m slavering lips. "Come closssser.I can barely hear yoooou."The creature's eyes - filmed though they were - drilled into Kael, crawled intothe deep recesses of his mind, opening locks on old memories. Step, a voiceslithered in his mind. Come closer to me and let's be friends. We're friends.. .Inexorably, Kael fel t himself drawn f o r war d , step by step, sucked into theswirling black eyes of the dragon.

The Book OfD R A G O N

wherein th e history of th e world is told, various political intrigues ex -plained, th e globe and all its features circumscribed, and the matters ofhumankinfully chronicled.T he Great Wizard's W ar

Blood has a special significance in this, th e Dragon Continent. Fo r countlesscenturies, th e rivers have ru n sanguine and the skies have rained tears, an d thus itha s been since th e great Wizard's War. Only a scant fe w f ragments of worm-ea tenparchment remain to chronicle the death, the pestilence, the unending m adnessthat brought th e world to the very brink of obliteration.In those times, sorcerers cloistered them selves in their black towers an d hurledraging storms to howl through the trees and steal the warmth from men's bones.Th e dead rose from their graves to cut down th e living, mountains collapsed inflame an d valleys became oceans of blood. For the hapless souls caught in betweenthere w as little to do but huddle in their thatch houses an d pray for a miracle.

And then, a thin silence spread over the world.As senselessly as it had begun, the War was over, leaving behind a worldscarred by decades of sorcery. Th e soil barren, th e water tainted and the airpoisoned, humankin set about reclaiming their lands. Magic still existed in theworld, however, an d while it did, so did the threat that another W ar could finishwhat it had failed to destroy. Thus, all the great magics were gathered an d placedunder th e control of the great Wizard's Guild, kept there fo r safekeeping an d study.But even as men felt safe, petty magicians crept into th e blasted fortresses of theirpredecessors an d scryed their dark secrets...Unfortunately, humankin were not unchallenged in their claims to the land.Swarming in every dank hole an d shunned field were hoards of monsters, aimlessan d violent without th e controlling influence of their masters. Neithe r willing tosurrender lands or money, clarion battle horns called Death once again to feast onthe Dragon Continent. Humankin began a slow an d painful slide, slowly lostground to the ever growing tide of monsterdom. What little grip they had on theworld neared e xtinction.Then, arising from a small village, th e great w izard Khazan began a campaignof unification, drawing together man and elf, dwarf an d hobb. Together theirtroops rode under a single banner an d swept back th e plague of creatures thatsought to destroy humankin . His empire forged, Khazan re turned to his capital city- named after him - and began a 600year golden age for those under his rule.But great as he was, th e wizard Khazan had not eliminated evil an d ambit ion .Fearing that one day Khazan would sweep th e last vestiges of monsterdom from th eworld, th e hordes of darkness planned to secure his empire once and for all.A mo n g th e monstrous folk, a mysterious leader began to echo Khazan'sprevious victories. Clan after clan of ogres, ores, and trolls began to band together,nudged by the persuasive blade of Lerotra 'hh, an evil incarnation of half-elf andhalf-ore.

RaceThere ar e four "friendly " races that p opu late the Dragon Continent: humans ,elves, dwarves , an d hobbs. Each race ha s at tr ibutes that help or hinder them incer tain tasks , thus mak ing them m ore su i tab le for one Class or another. Together

these benevolent races are called the humanki n . To select a race, highlight the oneyo u desire an d press .Human. Humans form the largest and the greatest enclave within the empireof Khazan. Rugged , ta l l , an d capable of learning spells , humans were th e mostresistant against th e tide of monsters that Lerotra'hh directed during he r raids. This

race is well suited to perform in any class.Elf . Sl ight ly ta l le r than their huma n kin, elves have very de l icate featuresframed by fair locks of f l owing hai r . Their ears , enlarged an d pointed , are far moresens i t ive to sound, making them ideal f ront guards . Having super ior memorizat ioncapab i l i t ies , elves make excellent wizards.Dwarf. Stern, taciturn and rustic, dwarves are outstanding Warriors. Bestsu i ted to wielding axes, these miniature humans carved their way into thehumankin in the days before the Wizard's War, but have since become loyalmembers of Khazan' s Empi re .Hobb.

Speed (SPD). A w ell-t imed dodge between your enemies, or an artful leapsideways can often m ean saving your hide. A high Speed will bring up shields morequickly when swords hiss through the air and give the character an ex tra edgewhile they are running from unconquerable odds. This attribute also determineswho attacks first in combat.Combat Adds. Occasionally the gods grant gifts to those exceptionally giftedindividuals who wander the Dragon Continent. Generally speaking, "exceptional"refers to any skill that exceeds a measurement of 12. STR, L K , and DEX are alla t t r ibutes that maj be granted bonuses fo r each point over 12. On the other hand,when characterist ics fall too low (below 9), then a character has what are known asNegative Adds. Note that a single character c an have both negative and posit iveadds that cancel each other out.Gold (GP). Nothing ca n cheer up a gloomy adventurer better than a treasurechest full of gold. This rating shows the amo unt of gold that the character has athi s disposal. GP is used to buy weapons, learn spells, and pay for food an d provi -sions.

Character ClassOnce you have a set of characterist ics, you can then select what sort of

adventurer that yo u wish to be. Choose to be the brawny, bold W arrior , or theerudite and powerful Wizard. Or if you l ike having th e best of both worlds, thenselect th e wily Rogue. Keep in mind, however, that a strong party is a diverse party.Warrior. Bronze muscles that gleam with rivulets of sweat, gritty stares thatblaze with fierce am bition, ragged scars that criss-cross massive backs: al l trade-marks of the bold class known as the Warrior class. These grit ty individu als arewell-trained in the arts of weapon, shield, and armor. Because they are familiarwith these implemen ts, they receive twice the protection from any shield or armorthat they bear. By contam inating themselves with the touch of steel, how ever,these individu als may never learn to cast spells.Rogue. Kno w the Rogue by his gaze that shifts side-to-side, by the p atchwork

clothing that he of ten wears, but mostly by the nails of his long fingers which hecontinually cleans with a rusty dirk. Quick to temper, this class of individual is awily opponent capable of using an y weapon. In addi t ion, he can learn spells fromfellow wizards, open locks with little difficulty, an d disarm an y numbe r of traps.Unlike their Warrior brethren, they cannot use weapons or armor with as great aproficiency. Also, Rogues find themselves outcast from th e magical arts and noWizard's Gui ld will teach them spells for any price. Further, desp ite their craftiness,they may never learn any spell that exceeds the 8th level.Wizard. Dressing always in black voluminous robes, a faint wreath of fireencircles this character class, scarcely perc eptible even in the darkest of caverns.Despite their l imited ability to do hand-to-hand combat, these magical individualsar e capable of deal ing out all manne r of horrifying death.

healthier wa y would be to tread th e mountain passes that sheer off into screaming voids orhide in the deep woods that crawl with clawed night things. As you thread your way alongthis road, Khara Kang will send mercenaries to drink your lifeblood. Nights will come thatyou will wish that you had remained by your hearth, drinking your herd's milk andwatching th e swaying grain of your fields. But even as 1 tell yo u these things, 1 can seethat you have already decided. Read on then, dear friend, and may Goloe smile uponyou.

before you, their failures spelled out in ghastly detail by their grinning skeletal carcasses.Your gaze flickers sideways as you catch a glimmering near the opening. A black liquidshines on a rock, trickling ever so slowly into the f issures of the cracked stone. You paleknowing that in the moonl ight blood looks quite dark.

Your blade barely ha s time to sing free from its sheath before th e aberration is at yourthroat, a shaggy mass of shimmering claws and hellish eyes. Both of you fall shrieking intothe bonefield, knowing that here only the mightiest will survive...

While your par ty makes it s wild ride to locate Khazan, its daily s taple willconsist largely of combat. By defeating dragons , vampires an d other kinds ofmonsters your party will gain valuable exper ience points while accumulatingwealth by retrieving stolen gold an d jewels . In time, your characters will becomevery capable fighters, bu t occas ionally they will encounter powerful adversaries an dthey m ay wish to flee to save themselves.Most of the a ttacks on y our party will come from random encounters, but therewill also be a num ber of f ixed combat s i tuations to help sharpen your PCs' skills.The Combat Screen. When your party begins a encounter , the AdventureScreen will be replaced by a Combat Screen. This 7 by 7 area displays the membersof both your par ty an d those of the attacking monsters.

Each turn is completedwhen all the characters and al l the attacking monsters have performed on e action.Each turn equals about tw o minutes in the Dragon Continent.Speed also plays a very important role in combat because th e quicker th efighter, the faster they can get their weapons ready to swing or throw.

If a monster is out ofyour range, they may be able to cast spells, hurl spears, or shoot arrows at you thatcan hurt you at long range. Getting closer to your enemies will increase yo urchances of inflicting damage on them.A window will open on the combat screen at the beginning of each combatround. This window, titled Party, contains the icons that represent your variouscombat options : Auto, M anual , Run, and Control .Auto Combat. If you believe you r party is strong enough to win, then autofight can speed your journey through combat.

18/27

MAGICAn Explanation of the magical arts, and alisting of those arcane scraps heretosurviving the Wizard War.

Reader BewareTake heed, you who read this book. Great misfortunes will befal l him who

seeks th e wisdom of the ancients. Your name sha l l be cursed among your k indred,yo u sha l l be made fr iendless , and the soil of the earth shall die at your touch. Th es imple folk have never forgotten th e Wizard 's W ar that ravaged their homes an dfields an d know that each t ime they se e you, they se e only th e shadows of the DarkTime.There exists three fundamenta l types of magic: Simple magic, Combat Magic ,an d Common Magic. Simple magic refers to those spells that ar e cast to opendoors, or l ighten darkened rooms, but are useless in te rms of attacking those w hoconfront you. Combat Magic is a special magic that was designed in the dankdungeons of the ancients, spells to rend flesh an d bone an d drive humankin mad.Last ly there exists Common Magic , those groups of spells that can be cast at anyt ime or in any s i tua t ion.If yo u belong to the class of the Warrior , then se t aside this text , for the touchof iron is harsh in your blood and you will never cast a spell. But if you be Wizardor Rogue , then these mat ters will come more easily to you. There ar e many Leve lsof proficiency with spell casting, muc h in the same w ay that there ar e many gradesof Warriors. Some spells will make special demands upon yo ur Intell igence ( IQ) orDexterity ( DEX) and you may have to wait until you gain experience before yo ucan fu l ly c om m a n d th e power of these spells. Know also that magic is weaved in toth e fabric of what yo u are, so as you use magic yo u will lose a port ion of yours t rength . By res t ing you can regain th i s los t v i ta l i ty and resume your adventuring .As you grow in experience, so wil l yo u gain insights into th e ancient mysteries.Certain spells included in this tome become fa r m ore powerful th e more experi-enced yo u become, bu t also realize that as these spells become more effective, theywill drain more Strength (ST) from you.Though here in are inc luded lists of spe l ls know n by most of the Wizards of theDragon Continent, certain details have been left unrecorded and can on l y betaught by the Wizard's Guilds. Further, you may learn some spells by finding scrollsor books, that i temize th e components of various spel ls , both highly i l legal since th eGreat B an imposed at the conclusion of the first Wizard 's War. Another condi t ionof the Ban was tha t no Rogue could be taught spells in the Wizard 's Gui lds fo r fearthat grea t power would fall into the hands of the irresponsible. I t wil l be necessarythen, if you are such a Rogue, that yo u find a Wizard to teach spells to you. Sinceyo u as a Rogue - haven ' t dedica ted your l ife to s tudy of the A rt , then you maynever cast spells that an eighth level W izard could .Many monsters roam th e w or l d no w tha t Lerot ra 'hh has set her kin free fromtheir leashes and i t wil l be tempt ing to unleash your powers upon your adversar ies ,but take this bit of advice. Most of the mo nster kin have a resistance to magic, formany were created in the Dark Time and a creature may never be harmed by theirnatura l essence. There are no guarantees that y o u r powers wil l a lways work , so useyour spel ls sparingly.
