The First Age
of Darkness
The tale began as a traveler from another world destroyed
the gem of immortality and foiled the plan of the evil wizard
Mondain to rule Sosaria.
The Revenge of the Enchantress
The traveler returned to drive back the hordes of evil summoned
by Mondain's lover and disciple, the Enchantress Minax, who
had sworn revenge for her lost love.
Exodus
Exodus, bastard child of the evil mages Mondain and Minax,
brought Sosaria to the brink of anarchy before the traveler
arrived and banished the last of this family line to the Pit.
Quest of the Avatar
Lord British united Sosaria under the new name Britannia,
and proclaimed the Eight Sacred Virtues as the essence of
Britannian life. The traveler returned and was named Avatar
of the Virtues, defender of the people, and Britannia's champion.
Warriors of Destiny
From the three largest shards of the broken gem of immortality
came the Shadowlords, who influenced Lord British's trusted
confidant, Lord Blackthorn. The Avatar summoned eight companions
to defeat the Shadowlords and rescue their king, while Blackthorn
was thrown into the ethereal void for his betrayal.
The False Prophet
The Gargoyles' most sacred book, the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom,
foretold that a False Prophet would destroy the Gargoyle race
unless he was sacrificed. After learning that he was the False
Prophet, the Avatar undertook a quest to bring peace between
the races.
The Black Gate
The Guardian, a vile beast from another world, was forced
from Britannia when the Avatar traveled through the portal
and destroyed the Black Gate through which the Guardian had
entered.
Pagan
Imprisoned on a distant world within the sphere of the Guardian,
the Avatar was forced to summon the powers of darkness to
thwart the Elemental Titans and open a portal to return to
his world of peace.
Ascension
The Avatar, Champion of Virtue, is called upon one last time
to defeat the Guardian, who has wrought new destruction through
eight great columns that are slowly ripping through the land
and twisting the minds of the people.
