Here it goes. Okay, upon your defeat of Barok, ³³ ³Bern sends you to Kievs because lately, they've been having many ³³ ³problems with thieves and even some natural disasters such as ³³ ³flooding and earthquakes. Upon arriving at Kievs, the Elder tells ³³ ³you about Brant and that he's left in order to find a golden ring ³³ ³stolen by the thieves. Upon questioning the elder, he tells you that³³ ³indeed, Kievs has been experiencing problems lately. He tells you ³³ ³that on the mountain, there are old ruins that have been there for ³³ ³years. The elder tells you that these ruins were the site of a proud³³ ³and glorious city long ago, before anyone else had been there, the ³³ ³settlers of Kievs, or Bern and before even the Garunda Tower was ³³ ³corrupted by undead. He tells you that this used to be the Kingdom ³³ ³of Hatar and that the ruins were Hatar which was the Kingdom's ³³ ³capital. He tells you that he doesn't know much more about the ruins³³ ³and that much of what happened is shrowded in legend. All that he ³³ ³does know is that the kingdom spread past Bern to the east and north,³³ ³and past Kievs on the west. To the south was Garunda which at that ³³ ³time was an elvish tower and even the Elvish kingdom spread a ways ³³ ³toward the south. Garunda and Hatar at that time had an alliance and³³ ³since the evil had not yet spread to this area, that it was a time of³³ ³great peace. The elder then tells you that Hatar was destroyed in a ³³ ³war, with whom or what, he doesn't know. By the time the forces of ³³ ³Garunda arrived, it was too late, the city was devastated. The walls³³ ³were completely destroyed and the buildings were burned to the ground³³ ³and still flaming. The men of Garunda couldn't find anyone who could³³ ³explain this problem. The enemy forces were already gone and nobody ³³ ³remained alive, even women and children were killed. The forces left³³ ³the city and tried to get back home, but the troop never arrived. ³³ ³Another force left Garunda to investigate and they too never ³³ ³returned. After losing two troops of Elvish warriors, the Garunda ³³ ³king quit and never sent another force out again. Soon afterward, ³³ ³Garunda itself was invaded by the undead and the elves were forced to³³ ³leave. They founded the town of Crystancia to the north over 90 ³³ ³years ago. Hatar was destroyed well over 100 years ago, and the area³³ ³entered a dark age for over 30 years where undead roamed the land ³³ ³freely and people were afraid to even ent r the area. 60 years ³³ ³later, the wise men from all over the world came and sealed the tower³³ ³and the area entered a time of peace that's lasted from that point ³³ ³onward until a short time ago. People are afraid the enter the ruins ³³ ³because everyone that has have never returned and Kievs has ³³ ³experienced severe problems ever since an artifact given to them by ³³ ³the old wizard Ramuh disappeared. This artifact has protected the ³³ ³city and prevented the evil fog from descending down the mountaintop ³³ ³where it usually surrounds Hatar to the north. He tells you that ³³ ³this fog lamp has disappeared, and that everyone is too afraid to ³³ ³enter the ruins in the mountains to try to get clues. (This is all I³³ ³have for the moment, it's kinda awkward and I need help to finish, I ³³ ³don't know who took the fog lamp in the first place, and as for ³³ ³Hatar, it's kinda complicated. I don't even know if you'll like this ³³ ³or not, but let's talk about it as soon as we can if you like it so ³³ ³far) ³³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
