The Land of Spilknor

underline.gif (18754 bytes)

....The land of Spilknor was a peaceful place with powerful leaders. Lord Parker and his wife Beatrik ruled along side of the Sourcer Ragorr and his wife, the Sorceress Gozawyx. Both rulers used their skills in combat or magic to provide protection and better the lives for everyone on Spilknor.

....Not much is known just how Ragorr got his powers but there were many myths on the topic circulating through the general population of Spilknor. One such myth says that Ragorr went crazy, he kept talking to himself. Servants of Ragorr say that he kept talking to someone known as "The Watcher", yet no one was in the room. This myth may actually be closer to truth than myth if you can believe the pirates of the day. One such pirate claims to have stolen Ragorr's diary in which was written how he came across his powers. The pirates say that sections of the diary read like this, but it is unknown what the dates of these fragments are:

...."I want to be ruler of Spilknor, I can't believe I keep loosing the Leadership Election to Parker, he doesn't have anything I don't. Ah, my lovely wife Gozawyx has come into the room to cheer me up, goodnight diary .."

...."Today something very strange happened as I awoke from my sleep. I saw the image of a large red head floating above me. I was startled but asked, "Who are you?" The skull answered, "I am The Watcher, a mighty time traveler sees all and have come to watch over this world. I can grant you many powers Ragorr, powers that can help you be a ruler of this land, powers beyond your dreams. The cost however will be very high, but I won't collect for many years." So I responded, "I want to be ruler of this land more than life itself. Tell me what I must do to earn these powers." With that the head disappeared"

...."I haven't seen The Watcher for many moons now but today I awoke and found in my study a Bell, a Candle and a Book. On the floor was a triangle and one of these items were at each corner. There was a circle drawn in the middle of the triangle with a red orb on a string laying in the middle. I stepped into the circle and picked up the Orb. Immediately I felt a surge of electricity shoot through my body. I collapsed to the floor in pain, but when I got up, I felt different. I could hear things many mountains away, I could see objects with great detail and I felt very young. The Watcher appeared, "You have been granted the power you wish. Learn to harness it well Ragorr and you too can raise to be a leader of the land"

...."I tied the Leadership Election with Parker this year so we will both lead the land of Spilknor. If I can harness my powers even more, and use them for much good this year maybe I can beat Parker and be the only leader in the next election."

...."Gozawyx told me today that we will soon have a baby. This makes me very happy, now I will have a little one to mentor into a great leader."

...."I awoke to The Watcher today, he has offered me more power. He has told me of a place called "The Great Abyss" in which lies an object of great power. He called this object the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom and said that if I can retrieve it from the Abyss my powers will increase beyond imagination. He left me a map of the seas and told me to build 3 altars on this island and place the 3 power items on these altars. He has also said to wear my Red Orb when I made the journey or I would not survive to use the powers of the Codex. The Watcher also showed me a symbol, he called it the Pure Axiom and said to follow the path of the Pure Axiom to retrieve the Codex."

...."I've spent the last few moons making trips to this small island constructing the altars. Tomorrow I will place the items of power on those altars and see what happens"

...."I have the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. The power items opened up a gateway to the Great Abyss, which I entered. I followed the path of the Pure Axiom and found the codex. Immediately I removed it from its mount and instantly felt very powerful and all knowing, the feeling was fantastic. I heard loud growling and my red orb started to glow so I ran for the gateway as fast as I could. As I was running a red gas cloud formed around me and I saw strange things in it, claws, wings, eyes, but none of it could touch me. As I stepped through the gateway, the red cloud disappeared and I made my way back to my castle."
