NAMES

[color:"yellow"]Aganeth[/color] - troll wizard, takes soul essence of exotic creatures - if he succeeds in making a flawless crystal, his master wizard Rabaer has promised to make him his lieutenant - has stolen a golden dwarf nugget, symbol of Crystal Doom wizard's Nagarous treaty with the dwarves.

Aganeth collects exotic creatures to use in his research. At the behest of his master, he is trying to create a crystal that entraps souls. Such crystals have been created in the past, but all of them had a flaw or weakness. The last such crystal to be made was formed by the Circle of Doom. But, like it's predeccesors, it has a hidden flaw. Rabaer wants to rule the Circle of Doom and has promised to add Aganeth to the Circle as his Lieutenant if Aganeth can perfect a flawless Soul Crystal.

Aganeth is convinced that the missing ingredient in crystal formation is a rare, exotic trait that can only be found in an exotic creature. Over forty years earlier, his second cousin, Metheeka-Soth, had a vision of this during one of her profound channeling sessions (this makes him a troll btw). Aganeth has been collecting creatures and performing crystal incantations ever since.

His stronghold is hidden far beneath a castle that sits atop a mesa surrounded by sheer cliffs and constant thunderstorms. The tornados that erupt from these storms have stripped every blade of grass, every bush and tree, and most of the rocks and dirt from the hide of the mesa. The castle stands in the middle of this cold, wet wasteland.of rock

[color:"orange"]THE MAJOR QUEST ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF DOOM[/b]

Seven Talismans.
Seven Scrolls.
Seven Wizards.
Nine Dread Trolls.

The Circle of Evil and Chaos will Rule
When moons converge on Mount Dooms' peak.
Each Wizard's Talisman will be the tool
To free the Trolls: one each week.

No native soul can wield the art
To break this Fate so vile and viscious.
But three will come from a world apart
The first they'll tame is named Aloicious.[/color]

"Dear Lobella,

I've got to go, Lord Aganeth needs my services (he seemed very interested in my work, especially the 'power-generator') and you know it's best not to keep him waiting since the village 'Trogik' just before his caste is 3 days of walking South-West from here, over the land and then into the mountains, climbing very steep for the last day

I shall be back in 15 days

[color:"yellow"]Visions

Explanation from Polgara :[/color]
"Well, Kiya - it's time for me to share my knowledge with you: There are 7 powerful wizards in the world out there - and in order to keep and enlarge these powers, they have made 7 races to their allies, thus causing them to break the bond. Their methods varied: Some became allies by greed, some surrendered to promises, others were forced. And MUTA... sad story... one of those wizards stole her voice. She died of sorrow, but her voice is still trapped - and in order to free all other nymphs, who are now forced to sing for him and defeat enemies - one has to find and retrieve her voice."

[color:"yellow"]Info from LaShandra: [/color]
"I know of this voice - but it is impossible to free it. "MARDUM has it. No... wait," she held up her hand," don't interrupt me - listen closely - very closely: MARDUM is the strongest troll of wizard ARKUMBAR. Even if you find out where this troll is - even if you can break the seal of his cave - and even if you're able to enter then and survive what's waiting for you - even then the voice is lost."
"you belong to one of them. All dragons do." She laughed merrily, a magical note that seemed to promise all types of joys both innocent and sensual all wrapped up in one sound.

[color:"yellow"]Prophecy by griffion to Nero: [/color]
While you seek the seven wizards and their pawns, they are but pawns themselves to one even greater....I do not know his name, it is said that those who learn of it are as quickly destroyed. A great evil with which you have something in common....half of your blood is of the same kind as his but his blood is pure...The seven wizards keep the keys to his sanctuary, you must seek them out...

[color:"yellow"]Lucs vision: [/color]
Death
Destruction
Mayham
Saddness
dispair

These images became more and more intense until saw one more image.
Two words


Arkumbar and Mardum. These came with a picture of a long black robe with deep blood red eyes. He had a staff that glowed while he laughed. The picture started in on his eyes and pulled out. First I could only see him then I saw what I instincivly knew was Mardum, his mountain troll. Bigger than some trees and just as stout, the picture kept pulling out. Past the castle which was on an island out to sea. Further up where I could see the coast line then over the land to where our forrest began.

Update list

[color:"yellow"] Visions

Dragons quest:[/color]

"Treasure can win every dragon's heart, specially if combined with a very very special object. This was the scheme of Ena B'No Gard - one of the Doom wizards. He promised you dragons - the frost and fire ones - he would give you the Egg of Eternity - if they would erase out every city, town and village that would threaten his power. In your case, Jvb: The fire dragons caused a lot of murder and grief - they are fierce, very fierce warriors - relentless and loyal if they have chosen one side - sadly enough, this time a very evil side.


[color:"#99ff00"]important items/artifacts/...

Egg of Eternity :[/color]
it's a very powerful and ageless artefact - those who possess it can influence everything dealing with time: time stop - time passes quickly - travel through time - name everything and you've got it.

[color:"#99ff00"]Bracelet Of Utter Control And Balance:[/color]
Bracelet to control two powers in one person. Making sure they are in balance.

[color:"#99ff00"]ORB and the wand: [/color]
Telephone system between wizards. Depending on the 'symbols' you make you connect to a wizard. (Symbols are on paintings)

[color:"yellow"] Dwarven Quest: [/color]

"we suspected magical interference long ago. Ever since we started working for Nagarous the goblin attacks have been increasing in size and power. We wondered if Rabaer was trying to get to us and undermine Nagarous' authority."
"So you were there directly afterwords?" Garak asked. "What of the king's axe?"
"I don't know, I never found it. Its probably in the posession of Rabaer now. Such an item should not be used by such an evil being..."
"Then find it Womble! You and your....strange friend. Find it and return honour to the dead of Drogni halls!"
"I'll meet you in the dwarven city of Riflak. You know the way...." Garak said as his final words to me....
"Find the gold nugget that Aganeth took from us! It is a symbol of our bond to Nagarous. Without it he will abandon us and join the core of evil that the rest of the wizards have built. The whole world will not be safe!"

Golden nugget found!

[color:"yellow"] Demon quest: [/color]
"You will find Rabaer's castle - but not him - your demon friend is in great danger. If you find Rabaer - you will find your friend next to him - but finding is not freeing him... He is encircled by the kind of bond you fear and decline... The solution for helping your friend to tear his bonds is in Rabaer's Castle, so search it thoroughly..."

part of solution found: rubyformed pyramid: Nero's heart!
