A Message from Mentor

Welcome, my Heroes. Welcome, mighty Barbarian, to the land of your youth! It seems only yesterday that the tribal elders gave you leave to explore the many wonders of the warm land to the south. You return now as a renowned warrior, tall and strong, well-versed in the skills of battle. Happy though your homecoming is, bitter tidings are on the minds of the tribal elders. They wearily tell you why you have been summoned back to aid your people in their time of need. An ancient evil, long thought banished, has arisen to threaten the Northlands once more. The Frozen Horror has burst forth from the icy tomb where it has rested these last centuries, recovering its strength and awaiting Morcar’s signal. At last, its master has called it, and the Frozen Horror has returned to its ancient Seat of Power deep within Ice Mountain. It has regained the Scepter of Glacial Majesty, an evil artifact of vast power. As we speak, the Frozen Horror is reviving its minions and enacting its plans to cover the Northlands and the Empire in a shroud of deadly ice. Your people seek champions to oppose the evil of the Frozen Horror. You have been called in hopes that you might prove to be those champions. Mighy Barbarian, lead your companions into the depths of Ice Mountain. There you must find and destroy the Scepter of Glacial Majesty before it achieves its full power. Only when the Scepter is no more can you confront the Frozen Horror and destroy it forever. You must call upon all your courage and skill! The greatest perils you have ever faced await within Ice Mountain. Great too, is the treasure that will be yours if you succeed. Among the many riches to be found is the Amulet of the North, an ancient artifact that is said to grant its wearer marvelous powers. Good luck, mighty Warriors. The fates of many depend on you!
