Introduction

Every character has a unique start. This start colors the path that character walks in Ancaria. Those that walk in the darker colors are different than those that walk in the lighter colors. Dark is not necessarily evil.

Dryad - Pastures New

We are under attack! The shaman is heavily injured. I must defeat the attackers!

The old shaman is dead. With his last breath he implored me to finish his task. The Inquisitors in the outpost know about our arrival. They will not attack me.

The outpost of the Inquisition. Perhaps I am needed here.

Inquisitor - Conspiracies!

The messenger has been dealt with. And if my plan comes to pass the Inquisitor will not be in my way for much longer.

The old Inquisitor and I have uncovered a conspiracy. Now the old man intends to reap the fruits of our efforts alone. Not on my watch. I know how to play that game better than he does.

The old fool! He didn't even become suspicious! Serves him right. Now, I have to take care of the witnesses.

All witnesses have been silenced.

I should make my way to Thylysium now.

High Elf - Duel!

I have been here for a long time, but I think my staying here is not for much longer. I should listen to what the Arch Mage has to say to me.

This is my final test. I will take on my fellow student. I wonder whether he is ready to taste some REAL magic.

I have killed him...what a weakling!

I guess I have to end that ol' fool's life.

The senile old fool is dead. I am free at last!

Dragon Mage - The Dragon Mage

Well, it looks like I've finally arrived. Strange region. Maybe there's a village around where here where I can get some information.

My faithful friend Gemblik has accompanied me this far, but now I will have to continue my journey alone. Strange, I've been waiting for this moment for years. And yet, now that it's here, it fills me with grief. But I have no time for such things. I must speak with the dragon and follow my destiny.

An elven settlement. The Inquisition is sure to have an outpost here, too.

Temple Guardian - Reactivated!

All systems reactivated. Received instructions from Hologram.

I have been reactivated. Two entities are attacking me. I must dispose of them.

Attacker terminated. Next target should be the Inquisitors.

Mission accomplished. Now, I will look for new assignments.

Shadow Warrior - Revisitation!

I...I am alive. How is that possible! I hope the magician will be able to shed a light...

I am back! I have returned to the world! Which power summoned me here! I will find out...but first, I will have to defend myself.

Who dares to...! Who brought me back into this pathetic world? My destiny was death! And now I am back here! I must find the Grand Inquisitor. He owes me an explanation!

An outpost of the Inquisition. They might have an assignment for me!

Chapter 1 - Tyr Lysia

Thwarted Attack Plans

Nobility, waste of time that they are, plan on attacking a base of the Inquisition. The commander of the base needs to be warned so that she may be prepared for the onslaught.

(scroll) Message for the Grand Inquisitor

The Center of Power

We did it. The attack has been fought off. However, the Commander is worried that this attack has not been the last of it's kind. She has asked me to request reinforcements from the Grand Inquisitor..

The Grand Inquisitor is in the capital. I should make my way there now.

A guard at the Inquisitor's mansion said I was a thief and attacked me! I had to kill her in self defense. The second guard was more cooperative. She said that the Grand Inquisitor can be found at the holding cells across the city.

The Grand Inquisitor is very intimidating, but he did say he might employ me if I can prove myself in the arena.It looks like I'll have to impress the head gladiator by killing a few prisoners in single combat.

I spoke to the instructor of the gladiators and he told me to prepare for battle. He seemed... different. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Anyway, my opponent is waiting for me in the fighting pit.

All my opponents are dead. Time to talk to the head gladiator again.

The gladiator instructor gave me his seal of approval and sent me back to the Grand Inquisitor in the main temple.

Through the Wall

The Grand Inquisitor has chosen me as his envoy. He already has a task for me.

The Grand Inquisitor asked whether I would join the ranks of his holy warriors, and I accepted.

My first mission will take me past the Great Wall and into human territory. I'm supposed to find a man called "The Broker" and convince him to send his slave girls to the Grand Inquisitor. He says it is for their protection, but I have my doubts. No matter. My first task is to get to the Great Wall and use the Grand Inquisitor's ring as a token of passage.

After a hard journey I reached the Great Wall. When I showed the Grand Inquisitor's ring to the guard he allowed me to pass and told me I would find a spy in the village to the east. The man is supposed to know where "The Broker" lives.

(ring) Nimonuil's Signet Ring

Chapter 2 - Artamark

Beyond the Wall

I found the spy while he was fighting off a pack of wolves. I may have saved his life, but perhaps not. No matter. He told me a friend of the broker's runs a gambling den in the village north of here.

(vial sketch) Vial of Emptyness

If you chose not to trust the broker's friend you get this journal entry.

That son of a greenskin in the gambling den set his thugs on me! I killed them and whipped him within an inch of his life until he told me where to find the broker. I killed him anyway and guess what! There was a note in his pocket from the broker with a return address of Orcish Byway! Lying Swine!. Glad I killed him. Served him right.

If you chose to trust the broker's friend you get this journal entry.

The scoundrel in the gambling den set his thugs on me! I killed them and whipped him within an inch of his life until he told me where to find the broker. He's lucky I let him live. I wonder how far it is to Skook's Corner.

Damn! Damn! Damn! That lying son of a greenskin in the gambling den sent me to the wrong damn village. Scumbag! I should've killed him when I had that chance. The Broker really lives in Orcish Byway. Damn!

Gar'Colossus

I finally found the broker. He was in a panic because his village was being attacked by the Gar'Colossus - a Golem. The coward. It didn't take much to convince him to sell the girls to the Grand Inquisitor. All I have to do is kill the Golem and my mission is completed. The creature is surrounded by a T-Energy shield The magical blazing stones must surely be the key to victory.

I killed the clay colossus! I should talk to the smuggler again.

The Gar'Colossus is dead!

The cowardly broker promised to send the girls to the clergy from now on. He said he'd seen a Golem like this before, in a place where the Orcs say 'the magic flows from the earth." That's where some Elven Expedition was heading. He also said a priest was waiting for me at the academy. Maybe he has a message for me from the Grand Inquisitor.

Chapter 3 - Nor Plat

Among Orcs

The Grand Inquisitor explained the situation in the Orc region.

Several Orc clans are at feud with each other, and lately the Ore-Thag-Clan has gained the upper hand. He told me to find the leader of that clan and offer to help him win. In return, once the Orcs are unified, the Grand Inquisitor will call upon the support of the Ore-Thag Clan in our battles to come.

He also told me something about a lost Elven delegation. He wants me to find them and learn what they know about magic leaks in the Orc regions.

I arrived at the place where 'the magic flows from the earth." These idiots use it as some sort of testing ground where young Orcs prove they can fight. I'll play along and kill some of the Earth Elementals - maybe it will help them accept me.

OK, fine, I killed a bunch of the big scary monsters. Maybe if I talk to the Orc again he'll admit me into their club.

The Orc was impressed. He passed me up the line to some old bat who seems to be in charge around here.

The Orc Elder was a senile old crone who claimed I should travel with the Ore-Thag Clan because I like killing so much. What a moron! At least I'll have someone to watch my back in the Gods-forsaken country - unless I decide to kill them all first.

One of them said their clan leader lives far away, and I have to prove myself before they'll even take me to see him. Typical clan idiocy. Anyway, some Orcs of the Grurag Clan insulted my new best friends and they want me to avenge their honor. They've got a spy in the offending village, so I'm off to go wreak some havoc.

I got to the village and found the Orc spy. He told me where to find the Orcs of the Grurag Clan who insulted "my" clan's honor. The sooner I kill them, the sooner I can put these dimwits behind me.

Ok, Lotsa dead Orcs. Time to get back to the spy and see if there are any other hoops I have to jump through for these morons.

Lovely. Some of my genius clanmates blundered into a village and got captured. The rest of our side are attacking the village, but the leader of the bad guys isn't even there!

The Grurag Clan leader has been defeated. Now I must go down into the village and free the clan brothers.

I'm finally making some progress with these pinheads. The Orcs of the Ore-Thag Clan are free, the enemy leader is dead, and I've earned a trip to see our exalted clanleader, who I hope is brighter than the average melon. Hi-ho, Hi-ho - it's off to Orc I go!
