It cast an eldritch gealm on the leghtening shadows of the forest,seeming to evelop the land in somethink that could only contain peace and harmony. The may once upon a time have been true, but even long before the memories of the most ancient elders begun it had been enchanted by an Evil Power of formidably dimen- sions - at that time,peace and harmony had probably al- together disappeared from the land a Troll would from sun. Ever since that time, now and again a Damiranian would escape to the neighbouring countries, bringing with him wild tales and ill tidings of Evil,Black Magic and chaos ;tales of an Evil Sorcerer - who had destroyed the lands Heard of Lore. Old Scritures spke of Damirans Heart of lore ad its main source of prosperity, law and order.It had kept ill away from the land , and had endeed been of major infuence on the well-being of all the people who had dwelled there. Damiran's monarchs of old had been an invalueable treasure whixhindeed it had. Yet in Lumthorn, a forest on one of the outer edges of the land,a sorcerer called plogther had lived who wasn`t content with anythink.He had noticed that peo- ple didn`t come to him any more when they had needed something magical do be done -they had rather visited the king who wielded the heart of lore instead.In his forest hut , he had concocted evil plans and dark pa- tions that he wanted to use to render Damiran`s Heart of lore useless forever. If had been dark day in the history of Domiran when the sorcerer arrived at the gates of Traskor, the lands capital behind him, a large box wrapped in black had floated on what must have been an invisi- ble field of power.A sense of doom had radiated from his eyes when he had ordered the guards to escort him to the king`s castle. The inhabitants of the city had looked at plogthor with awe as he strode by wearing his omninous dark blue robe.They had whispered among each other , not even daring to point at his mysterous black box. When the sorcerer and his escort had arrived at the castle,the drawbridge had been lowered - upon which plogthor, followed by his mysterous floating box had entered. The night, a hohue explosion had shuddered the city of Traskor.Fire had burst forth from the kings cas- tle and had vicously hurled bolts of white lightning into the night sky which it had seemed to tear appart in a tremendously huge cacophony of thunderous roars and blackest of fumes. Nobody had known much of what had happened that dark night, but it had been the start of a bad epoch for Damiran.The heart of lore,so it tuned out later, had been destroyed and it`s magical potency had diffused over all the land in countless fragments, impossible to begain and assemble bac into what had once been Damiran`s main source of prosperity, law and order. OR HAD IT ????? --------------- The most ancient of elders had looked ghostly in the light of the candles and the odd torch that had shone upon the lined image of his face. An eerie si- lence had filled the room as he had opened his eyes and had prepared to speak. We are gathered here tonight to send forth a mission of help,"he had spoken with a voice that had seemed to be worn with centuries of sorrow and grief,"a mis- sion of help to our neightbouring country,Damiran." He had looked around him,and his gaze had settled on an older wizard by the name of kurgan. As if he had sensed the gaze, Kurgan had looked up without speaking,swollowing somethink. The most ancient of elders had contiued."To many peo- ple suffer the acid reign of Plogther, known to us as despiser, and it is our sworn duty to help the Dami- ranians to get rid of the Yoke which now rests heavy upon their wtithing shoulders. A low mutter of agreement passed though the ranks of the other elders present in the room. "i have selected kurgan our wiest and most expenced wizard, to regain the parts of Damiran`s heart of lore.Only the gods know if he will succed in fulfil- ling this formmidable task.Only he can bend the fate of Damiran`s doom. Kurgan had looked up, proud of the fact that the most acient of elders had considered him worthy of this mission. AND NOW THE TIME HAD COME !!! He looked at the setting sun and felt a peculiar kind of nausea shatter a feeling of what might have been joy at the beholding of such a beautiful sight. For a moment, he hesitated. Without looking back, he crossed the border to ___ _ | HE |- NCHANTED | AND | |_ |_ GAME OVERVIEW On every level , you will have to collect all magic that was put there by the immense explosion that mar- ked Plogthor`s destruction of the heart.Once you have ucceeded in doing this, a door will open to the next level.
