 Introduction
E ons ago, during the Age of Magic, the Earth was ruled by ancient
gods. They commanded the peoples of their domains, and the
mightiest of which was the Nordic Clan. The Nordic possessed many
formidable magical artifacts, and the most potent of them all the
Bracelet of Lordship. Carved from a mysterious Dragon Stone, the
artifact was a gift from the gods, who themselves had wrested the
Bracelet from the hands of their forefathers.
The power of the Bracelet was such that it gave its masters control
over the minds of mortal men.
But the Age of Magic was not to last forever. The twilight of the gods
was finally upon them.
The Nordic Clan hid the bracelet deep in uncharted lands, where
mortals would settle thousands of years later. They hoped that when
the moon and the stars were just right, the bracelet would be restored
and their people would once again rise to power.
The gods favored the heroes of the north and placed a dragon to
guard the dreadful treasure. The task of keeping eternal vigil over the
bracelet was given to Orr, one of the demi-gods. To aid him the gods
gave him an amulet, which granted him control over the dragon.
The years passed ... centuries became millenniums.
Orr kept his vigil, and guarded the Dragon Amulet that would give
its master control over the Dragon, and thereby control over the
Bracelet of Lordship.
He gathered a small clan around him, waiting...
Waiting for the day when the true masters of the Bracelet of Lordship
would return.
Then one fateful day the Yellow Dogs, creatures of Chaos and
Destruction, found Orr and his warriors in a small encampment.

 The Dogs were the eternal enemies of the Nordic Clan, and their forces
heavily outnumbered Orr's band of mere mortals. The bloody battle
raged for three long hours, until Orr saw that only ten of his men
were still standing with no chance of escape. Realizing that death was
iminent, Orr resolved to never let the Dragon Amulet fall into the hands
of his enemies.
With his heart filled with sorrow he broke the amulet into three pieces
and sent his loyal hawks to take the fragments to his old and trust-
worthy friends and comrades-in-arms. The first hawk flew towards
the camp of the slavic hero Vseslav. But the mighty bird never reached
its destination. The bird fell from the sky, killed by an arrow. The
marksman was Wolf, a mysterious wanderer who dwelt in the woods
of the Northern Lands. He hoped for the power of the Bracelet to
help him build a mighty kingdom in the Slavic lands.
The second part of the Amulet reached Sigurd, a viking hero of true
valor. It was to be his doom.
One night Sigurd was slained by his trusted friend Eric. The traitor
lusted for the amulet and the power of the Bracelet, and with the frag-
ment in his hands he set out on a war against the slavic tribes.
The third hawk flew to Byzanitum, and to the hero Konstantin.
A sense of doom came over Orr's old friend when he received his part
of the Amulet.
Realizing that something horrible had happened to Orr, Konstantin
understood that on him alone the fate of the Bracelet of Lordship
depended.
Signing on as a guard with a trade caravan, he was soon on his way
to the Northern Lands.
Two months later the fates of these three descendants of the ancient
gods would cross in these fateful lands.
