_:' Notes
1. This awesome magical hammer is called the • Enforcer• by Burakus.
Besides being a 4th power weapon. the hammer will kill by a _
smashing of the chest. Peasants and the such are always affected
thusly. while others save to avoid this effect. The •Enforcer•
may be wielded by those who have 19 strength or better . It is
worth J5 . 000 nobles.
2. When an arrow is shot from this magical bow. it bursts into en-
chanted 2nd power flames .
J. Orie is a magical and intelligent dart. If used as a weapon. it
will always seek and hit the target that Burakus commands. The
victim need not be seen nor in a straight line from Burakus.
Oric's range for this is two miles. Burakus often poisons Orie
when used in this manner. Orie also returns upon command. A
second function is that Orie can be commanded to find anything
hidden within 50' . Orie will fly and stick into the place wher.
the hidden item is to be found .

Luriki dwelt among the gods in the heavens, but opposed them when
they created mankinq and all his kin. So great was his opposition,

"Those humans are so blasted inferior and so is that planet they -

so despised.
"A fitting punishment for his evil," chuckled Thor.
Luriki sent out telepathic messages promising god-hood to whoeve~

This is what Nyach Dal Qaphon read and it intrigued him to no end

'
Was it true~ Could achieving god-hood actually be possible? Nyac~
.gave up teaching, gathered his tomes, stories and rumors about Luri-,
- ki and set out. Fascination led to obses sion and evil when he had
J -spent nearly his whole life in a thusfar failed search. He realized
- that he needed god-hood lest he soon die a lost soul. He became
quite evil, killing any and all who got in his way.
' To this day, Nyach Dal Qaphon searches for Luriki, obsessed wit~
the search and obsessed with inevitable death when his youth pot i ons

- (Def Rillan's note: Whether or not the Luriki story is true, thi
Qaphon is out for blood. He shouldn't be too hard to find, since
_he usually doesn't try to hide. But you'd better get him the first ·

4. This huge, arcane tome is an artifact of eons long ago. Its .
power is most vile. By reading it, one page per week, a mage of
at least 15 sk. lev. and 18 willpower can become undead- a lych-·
king. The tome will destroy any who do not quality upon attemp~
ting to read its sinister contents. In order to sustain his un-.
dead status, Nhord found that the tome required sacrifices to be '
made to it. These victims "feed" the tome, and it, in turn,
"feeds" Nhord, These sacrifices, if a save vs, willpower is
missed, become undead under the lychking •s command,
· 5 , Nhord knows most common spells, but favors ones that call upon
the dark side of magic.
6. Thls is the horrible, tortuous ritual that lfhord's tome requires
~ him to perform on each sacrifice.
7, The lychking is immune to anything that all other undead are.
Lasilun Nhord was a white wizard of great power and fame who
_grew up and lived in the Elven Realm most of his life , Although he
had only a little elven blood within, he was greatly respected by
°"the elves, He was not, however, allowed any leadership positions .
In his life, he searched and longed for a way to serve the elves as.
a leader. He pored over ancient history books in forgotten libra-
--ries to find some shining example of a part-elf having led elves . _
He never found that example. But he did find the Tome Of The Ancien
Deathbind •••
Innocently enough, he began studying it, for the title was simpl"
"On Being A King", However, Nhord soon found himself obsessed with·
the tome . His mind was perverted by the magical and increasingly
evil, twisted content . He changed' to evilness ever so slowly, just-
-as the tome commanded. His desire to be a king drove him to perform
the vile rituals to become a lychking. He had become mad.
The Nhord of today is an empty, vile, undead shell of the Nhord
of yesterday. He still plods on through the pages of the tome, do-_
"'- ing as he is instructed, and always fearing the end. (The Tome Of
_The Ancient Deathbind may be fully detailed in a future AC work on
magicks, artifacts, weapons, spells, and miracles).
The undead which are created by the tome run the gamut from skel~
- eton to vampire. A special kind, the rotduke, is created when Nhord
-subjects willing and evil v ictims to Ustagha.
