The perpetrator has been unmasked, and the heroes have alerted the Judges of Light. It seems that once again there will be a war between good and evil. The war begins in the home of the Undants, the Grassy Plains, but soon spreads to all of Furth. The Judges have disbanded. The Elves fight a desparate battle to save Elvenhome. The Ministers of Delflia must route the evil from their mountains, the Trolls have disappeared, and Wit and Fiarah must find the dragons while Adarlaedama and Cryptic hunt for the Lodestar, a jewel that when joined with the Efstan Sword may save them all.
