War of the Wizards Many years ago hidden in a vale of lush green grass and
trees there stood a beautiful white castle. Shining in
the morning sun, it made the people of the land rejoice
with feelings of warmth and security. The king was a
kind man and his treatment of the people and the lands
in his domain were reflected by the beauty of the castle.
Sadly, the king was not a young man, or a man of good
health, and both of these facts were well-known
through out the lands. It was also well-known that when
he passed away one of his two sons would inherit the
kingdom. Richard and Virgil were not bad boys, but they
were jealous of the idea that the other might be king
and that one of them would be passed over.
In the days nearing the king's death, he fell into a
deep sleep from which he was never able to recover,
even long enough to name his successor. This was
the beginning of many problems that eventually led
to the downfall of the kingdom. The sons could
neither concede the kingship to other even for the
sake of the people, and they soon began to develop
hateful, hurtful feelings for one another.
A demon, drawn to the loathing and want of greedy men,
came to the kingdom and there approached both with
the promise of powerful magic that they could each
use to defeat the other. In no time at all most of the
castle was destroyed, as well as the lands surrounding
where it stood, and the people were all either killed
or driven from the lands. To this day the lands are
considered cursed and shunned by travelers and
homesteaders alike and a common warning is shared
by all who know the lands. Beware the vale for it
has become the War of the Wizards. Date Posted - 02.15.2004
