The
Story so far: During 2567BC, the Kingdom of Hammerdoom was
              attacked by the Barbaric Hordes from the north.
              The Barbaric Hordes and the Kingdom of Hammerdoom
              are long, old archenemies and the battles are bloody
              and merciless.  The war waged on for years and the
              Kingdom of Hammerdoom of almost wiped out. It is now
              2554BC, 13 years since the war began. You are a boy
              born to a poor peasant family. Your parents are
              mutilated in front of your own eyes by the invading
              orcs and you have escaped only by hiding under a table
              during one of the attacks. A soldier from the ranks of
              the Armies of Hammerdoom later saved you. You are
              raised under strict discipline and quickly grew to
              master the art of war. Now it is time for you
              to extract revenge for your parents and country...
		  
	      After your triumph at the Orange Wastelands, the king
	      was delighted. The troops of Hammerdoom launched a swift
	      counter-attack on the Barbaric Hordes and won many
	      battles. Now both sides are preparing for the next
	      round of battles at the Meadow Plains. One day, the king
	      came to see you personally. You are astonished and 
	      think that the king would have some very important news
	      for you to come personally. He tells you of a dream that
	      he had last night. It was about an artifact of immense
	      power. He recalls that when he was young, the late king
	      told him that in the Swamplands of Hammerdoom,
	      the artifact is buried. It is believed that any side that
	      possess the artifact would have ultimate power and
	      control of most of the people of Hammerdoom. The artifact
	      was believed to be forged by the gods of Hammerdoom during
	      the creation of the world. The king can only remember that
	      the artifact is buried somewhere around the Stink Lake in
	      Swamplands of Hammerdoom. He asks if you could accept the
	      task of sneaking into the Swamplands that are controlled
	      by the Barbaric Hordes now and retrieving the artifact.
	      Knowing the fact the road to the Swamplands would be
	      hard and trying you still accepted the quest in good
	      grace and the king's trust. 
	 
The story continues in this map......

		The Ultimate Artifact has been recovered. It seems that
		the Hammerdoom troops are poised for a final battle to
		wipe out any leftover trace of "barbarianism". However, it
		was not to end this way. One day, you receive disturbing
		news. The Barbaric Hordes have found an ancient magic
		scroll -- The Scroll of Three. On the scroll contained the
		long lost secret of a place from another dimension, The
		Triangle of Might. Set at the very edge of the Universe
		of Aon, the Triangle of Might was created by a very
		powerful Barbarian, Chondler. He was strong in both might
		and magic. Rumours are that when the Triangle of Might was
		created because of a sudden surge of magic from Chondler,
		the mighty barbie perished along with the birth of his
		creation. Little did he knew that all this while, his
		apprentice had kept a record of his findings secretly. The
		record was later known as the Scroll of Three. Though his
		own plan eventually killed him, Chondler's soul remained to
		haunt the jungles and swamps of the triangular land. His
		apprentice died 20 years later, taking the secret of the
		location of the Triangle of Might and the Scroll with him
		to his grave.
		        The place was long forgotten until centuries
                later, the scroll of Three was accidentally discovered by
		Helman. He was an understudy with one of the tribe leaders
		of the hordes then. From the scroll, he gained much magic
		and more importantly, the ability to open the mystical portal
		to the Triangle of Might. With that, he left his master and
		escaped to the Triangle, where he built his own empire,
		enslaving the natives there. Nobody had been able to disturb
		him as only he alone can open the portal. However, things
		are not to be this way. A mysterious force, rumored to be
		Chondler's soul, swept across the Triangle, killing the
		populace of goblins, orcs and orges that have lived there
		by the millions under Helman's rule. Helman himself is said
		to have perished when trying to resist the evil force. Ever
		since, the Triangle has again fallen into centuries of
		isolation. The Scroll of Three has vanished with Helman.
			You know that the reappearing of the scroll will
		mean trouble. Not only that the Barbaric Hordes will gain
		certain magic, it is now their chance to regroup as the
		Triangle of Might favours the growth of Barbaric troops.
		However, your able advisory, Banedon the wizard, has devised
		a way which could transport you to the triangle. The only
		probelm is only, the transportation is limited to only one
		person. You ask, however, that without any troops or
		reinforcements, going to the Triangle alone would be
		condemning yourself to your own death. There was no news of
		the Hordes over the next few days. "They must be preparing
		for the mass transportation," you thought. After a week,
		something happened. You receive news that the Hordes have
		fallen into 2 factions. The internal struggle has finally
		broken out and both factions have established a strong
		foothold on the Triangle of Might. "The time is right my
		lord,"  Banedon says. "We must strike now." You know that
		this is your chance. What else could you have hoped for?
		This is the chance to wipe out the Hordes once and for all.
		This is the chance to end the centuries of war and
		destruction......

SPOLIERS ***********************************************************SPOLIERS
















Well, if you need any spoliers, the way to obtain magic is to defeat the fire
elementals and gain the 2 spell scrolls. After that, you can take the teleport 
to the island at the corner. Defeat the crusaders and rangers and the Lone
Castle has a level 5 mage guild.

The following is a real spoiler.

You can get the Ultimate Sword of Dominon at the sealed up free space with
a sign north of the archer's house. You will need the Dimenson spell scroll
which is obtainable at the island where Lone Castle is on.
