The Dragon Master, DARKLARZA, has been laying siege to Offeria for
two decades. King Boros has been forced to live in exile in the
mountainous region of Menlary. Geraden, Duke of Menlary, has
successfully defended his castle from the hideous Legions of the
Undead, but Darklarza's forces are growing in numbers and confidence.
King Boros has offered the hand of his
lovely daughter Princess Amoreena to Geraden
but the duke has vowed never to marry while
Offeria is under the Dragon Master's control.
Under the cover of darkness, Darklarza's horde has assaulted Castle
Menlary, a bold but futile attempt to seize the last stronghold of
the living. As Geraden is fighting his way to the Death Stalker
leading the attack, he learns that the entire
1
battle was only a diversion.
Dragon Cub, the wicked offspring of Darklarza, has dispatched the royal
guards and kidnapped the Princess, mortally wounding King Boros. Geradens
fate is now clear. He must fight his way to Darklarza Castle to do
battle with the Dragon Master Himself.
But Darklarzas power makes him virtually invincible. The duke will
need many items to help him defeat the scourge on Offeria. The only
thing that cannot be destroyed by the dragon's fiery breath are the
scales that cover its body.
2
The Dragon Masters dark magic is unbelievable. Part of his magical
strength comes from a crystal ball that once belonged to Geradens
mother, Offeria's greatest sorceress.
Darklarza also holds King Boros - golden suit of armor. The duke
will need this to protect himself from the crushing blows of the
dragon's massive tail.
3
Only one weapon in all of Offeria is strong enough to pierce the
flesh of the Dragon Master. Even so, The DRAGON SLAYER is not long
enough to do any damage except where the skin is the thinnest.
Even after twenty years of fighting Geraden is still not ready to
take on his arch enemy. Darklarza knows this and that is why he
has stolen the princess. The duke must now hope that the experience
he gains in fighting his way to the castle will be enough to protect
him from the Dragon Masters spells.
4
There will be one experience that Geraden cannot prepare himself for.
Before he can face the Dark Lord he must first face his most dangerous
foe....Himself!
Most important, Geraden needs
Your help to fight through the never
ending onslaught of the Legion of the
Undead It will be your skill and wisdom
that will guide him through the perils that
await.
For Amoreena, For the honor of the house of Menlary!
FOR ALL OF OFFERIA
