The
beginning of the First Age of Darkness is marked by the coming of a
sorcerer named Mondain. The father of Mondain had refused to share his
secret of immortality with his son, and their disputes ultimately led
to the father?s death. Torn with anguish and no doubt by his fears
of persecution, Mondain turned his dark powers against the kingdoms of
Sosaria. In desperation, Lord British called forth a champion to rise
to the defense of the realm. The hero who responded to his summons
would many years later come to be known as the Avatar. It was through
the actions of this Avatar that Mondain?s foul gem of power was
shattered and Mondain himself did come to a very sad end indeed. |
