DEMON FROM THE DARKSIDE



THE STORY SO FAR

Long ago, in the first age of the Ring master, a Falcon staff

fell into the hands of Drakon, the wizard of Valonia.

Because he did not destroy it Drakon was turned to the

darkside of evil and ancient magics of old.  With his new

found strength, he sent forth an army of shadow demons

which conquered the lands and armies of Valonia.  It was

now that Drakon began to walk among man and with the

Golden mask of satan would go un-recognized amongst

them until it was too late.  Their souls would be taken in

dead of night and used to feed the giant skull of evil which

stood in the hall of rats.  Ashmeard, the wizard of Dral,

fought Drakon and seized the Golden mask.  With an evil

scream Drakon leapt to his horse and rode into the vace of

Illindel never to be seen again.  A decade has passed since

those evil times but once more shadow demons walk the

land and the dark force grows strong.  Drakon is

returning ...



YOUR QUEST

You play the part of Morrack, apprentice to the wizard

Ashmeard, while Ashmeard stays in Dral to buy time and to

fight against the shadow demons.  Your task is to find and

kill Drakon and to retrieve the Falcon staff before the main

army of demons cross the lake.

THE GOLDEN MASK ........

After Morrack defeated Lord Drakon and

travelled back up the secret path of hell,

he once more stood in the lands of Dral.

As he looked up at the bright sky, Wise the

owl flew down to him.  They talked for

hours and it soon came apparent that

Drakon had not died nor for that matter

had Stodge the dwarf.

Now there was a new danger, Ashmeard the

wizard was dead and with him died the

knowledge of where the Golden Mask could

be found.  If Drakon finds the mask before

you, then he could again summon great

armies of demons and with Ashmeard dead no

one could stop the evil which would devour

Dral and all of its inhabitants.



YOUR QUEST:  You play Morrack and you must

find the Golden Mask which is somewhere in 

Dral.



THE DEVILS HAND .....

Drakon, helped by the devil escaped Morrack

by disappearing into the lands of Gorgon.

Morrack using all of his powers has

followed him, unable to bring his friends

he must explore this strange new land and

find new friends and allies.



YOUR QUEST:  In this battle against the

dark hordes of evil you play Morrack.

Although powerless now in the acts of

magic you must use your strength and

wizdom to track down Drakon before he can

destroy the great wizard Zorron.
