----GENERAL INFORMATION----
---------------------------

This is basically my first level that I have designed.  FIRST AND FOREMOST I WOULD 
GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU CAN AND/OR WANT TO GIVE.  It has taken me 
a great while to create this level and I plan on having more levels to follow 
this one to finish up the story, only if people like it and if I have time 
(with college and all).  For the time being when you reach the end it starts 
you back at the beginning of the level.   But it is really important to me if 
you can email me back at the above email addresses to tell me what you thought 
about the level, should I make more and any suggestions to improve it, or anything 
you can think of...Thanks...

----BUGS AND ETC...----
-----------------------

If you have any questions or you are just plain lost email me and I will help 
you out.  Be sure to look for secret throughout the level.  I especially like 
the secret bookshelves that are in the mining colony.  I tried to keep the bugs 
to a minimum with this level.  The major concern I had was that in the mining 
stronghold in the beginning of the level I added a lot of objects, because it was 
when I first started to level design, so the frame rate might be slow on slower 
computers.  I have a 1-gigahertz AMD with a NVIDIA 32MB graphic card and 128 RAM 
but it still went down to about 10fps in some spots.  It gets better after that 
though.  Anything else like I said just email me...

----MAIN STORY----
------------------

A new threat
A new beginning

With the defeat of Navaros and the Dark Union, once again peace was restored to 
the land of Drakan.  People began to rebuild what the Dark Union's army once ravaged.  
Warriors from all lands rose up and drove what was left of the Dark Union's army back 
into the eastern waste.  Rynn and Arokh had stood victorious and their influence 
throughout all of Drakan was unmatched.  

It has been nearly a year after peace and order was once again restored to the lands 
of Drakan.  After the final battle it came to pass that Rynn has returned the fabled 
sword Runeblade to its resting place in the rift world.  Arokh weary after the final 
clash has returned to ancient land of Dragoonia where the dragons dwell across the great 
sea.  A no longer young Arokh, his finds that his strength was weakened and he needed 
time to convalesce.  Rynn returned home but was determined that her brother was still 
alive.  She needed to search for a way to find him knowing that his life force was still 
living and well.  She had seen him fall into the Rift and it was just a matter of time
 until she found a way to bring him back to the realm of the existing.

Storms along the borderlands of the eastern waste have now begun to rise up and threatening 
skies on the horizon give way to signs of a new evil.  Raids of borderland villages have 
been reported from renegade forces of huege (orcs) and trollocs (wartocks).  What was once 
a peaceful time has begun to show signs of disorder at the hands of the Bringer of Death's 
touch on this world.  

The Bringer was the second greatest battle mage lord from the Dark Union's army and was 
second to none save Navaros himself.  He was once a grand voice in the order's council 
and was once revered as a great and wise leader among them.  After some time he became 
displeased with the order's vision of life and prosperity.  So he set out with Navaros to 
bring down the order of the flame and reclaim the lands of Drakan for the Dark Union.  
However seeing that Navaros was a fool and wanted too much supremacy to fast he went his 
own course before the last stand at Mount Tibor.  He saw the demise and fall of Navaros 
through the use of the Runeblade at the hands of Heron.  He knew that his fate would be 
the same if he didn't heed the mistakes of Navaros.  He forged a special armor that would 
be immune to the effects of the Runeblade and stood by waiting for the right time to leash 
out his supreme power to the lands of Drakan.   His seclusion and patience would prevail 
over all minds in the end.  He would use his dragon bond with his mighty dragon Chimera 
to his advantage unlike that fool Navaros.  

To achieve his supremacy he needed to seek out the five Rune Seals that bind the underworld 
away from the world of the existing.  If he could break the veil that holds the underworld 
away from the world of the living his power would be at its greatest and he could harness 
the world of the dead to bring terror and destruction to all living beings.  He sent the 
Revenants to seek out and find the seals while he remained secluded.  The Revenants were 
the most powerful warlocks from Ages of Legends that went over to the side of Dark Union.  

The trollocs, formally known as the wartocks, have formed into native tribes deep within 
the eastern waste and have become the Bringer's elite warriors and raiders.  They have become 
the backbone of the Bringer's army that is amassing to dominate the world.                                        

To further strengthen his efforts the Bringer has granted much power to the Yellow Huege 
faction of Orcs for their services and has ordered them to mine the green crystals (grimstone) 
to forge stronger weapons for the upcoming battles that they will face.  The ancient orc 
tribal council has forewarned the yellow huege not to join the side of the Bringer and 
this has pitted the two huege factions (yellow and purple) on the brink of civil war with 
each other.

Our story now finds that Arokh is still recovering and cannot make the long journey back 
across the great sea.  Knowing that Rynn will need the help of the elder breed he has 
given his bond over to his oldest son a golden breed of dragon and has sent him to aid 
Rynn in her upcoming conflict and search for Delon.  Rynn unknowingly has fallen into an 
ambush step up along the borderlands where the yellow huege have set up a small mining 
colony.  She now finds herself being held captive here.  Rynn must find some way to escape, 
meet up with the new dragon although she is still unaware and stop the Bringer, amidst 
finding a way to bring back her brother.
