I was prepared for some ill predications, but this, well, how could this be true? I asked, and Juleck replied, It is what I see. You stand at a crossroads, but there are no easy paths. We sat in silence for minutes as I absorbed Julecks counsel. Finally, I asked, What can I do to prepare? If your heart and mind are one, they will know what to do. How to act. Whose services to call. I sense that you have it in you to rule wisely. Its in your blood. I have done all I can. Now, I am tired. His voice trailed with the last statement. Your destiny awaits, Sovereign. Go.

The coronation was a solemn occasion. My mother elected to step down from the throne and pass the crown to the next generation. In her wisdom, she chose to make sure that she was present for the transition of power in order to help shepherd the next reign toward the goals that were so important to her. While the popularity of my mothers rule lent a bittersweet edge to the rite, the revelry that followed made it clear that my subjects gave me their full support as the caretaker of their hopes and dreams for the future. From the great hall, we adjourned to the courtyard, where the mood quickly changed from solemn to celebratory. The yard was filled to overflowing with tables full of rich foods, skilled performers from around the realm, and joyous visitors dressed in bright finery. The function lasted through the remainder of day and well into the evening. So engrossed was everyone in the festivities that few took notice of the sudden agitation of the Palace Guards atop the wall. Across the courtyard, I caught the Captain of the guard taking my Royal Advisor aside for a brief few seconds. Once they were done, the Captain quickly returned to his men on the walls, while the Royal Advisor made a direct course towards me. It was then that I first heard my Advisor utter a phrase which would become all too familiar before long. Forgive the intrusion, Your Majesty, but a situation has arisen. The celebration was over, and the responsibilities only beginning.

SOVEREIGNS TIP When you place your buildings, its wise to keep in mind how their locations affect your kingdom overall. For example, if you spread your buildings out too widely, they can be harder to defend, and your Tax Collector takes longer to complete his rounds. However, some buildings, like Inns and Trading Posts, need to be built on the frontier in order to best fulfill their potential.

Page 30

USING BUILDINGS
Constructing a building provides some immediate benefits, but most buildings also have features you must choose to use. While most buildings share similar types of functions, the details differ from building to building. These differences are reflected in the buildings Control window display. You can see information on a specific building by clicking the buildings Help button, and greater detail is available in the Reference section under Buildings.

Title Bar Hit Point Bar

This is the name of the building. You can click here to rename it. This shows the structural strength of this building in terms of hit points remaining. This number falls as the structure takes damage and rises as it is repaired or upgraded. This indicator displays the current level of the building. This is what you use to order the building upgraded to the next level. The number of possible levels depends on the type of building, but it is never more than three. Every structure has upgrade requirements. Once those have been met, you can purchase the upgrade. The amount of gold required to upgrade to the next level is shown on the button in red if you cant yet afford it.
The Building Control Window
Whenever you select a structure as the active building, it shows up in the Control window. If the building is one that you own (have control over), you get more than information in this window. What functions are available depends on the type of building. You might have any (or all) of these:
A. Title Bar B. Demolish C. Number of Recruits D. Hero Type E. Hit Points F. Repair Once A B C D E F G H I J K Q O P L M N G. H. I. J. K. Tax Once Coffers Heroes Recruit Special Ability L. Help M. N. O. P. Q. Level Upgrade Repair Queue Tax Route Track/Focus

SOVEREIGNS TIP If possible, surround your Marketplace on all sides with other buildings. This prevents Sewers from appearing immediately adjacent to your Marketplace. The frequent attacks your market would suffer from a nearby Sewer could put a significant crimp in your income.
Structures You Dont Build

Upgrading

Many buildings may be upgraded one or two levels. (The number of possible levels depends on the type of building, but no building goes above level three.) In order to upgrade a building you 34 must have the amount of gold indicated on its upgrade button. Certain buildings also have upgrade prerequisites. These are detailed in the

YOUR HEROES

While its an important job to construct the buildings that make up your kingdom, the real key to your success in any quest lies with your heroes. It is only through their courageous endeavors that your goals can be accomplished.
Skeleton with their arrows are slim. However, you can sometimes tempt them to consider such intimidating actions by offering a particularly high reward. Likewise, dont be surprised to see some heroes simply mill about. This is your cue to give them something to do. Are your Wizards just walking around and resting from time to time? Maybe you should build a Library, so they can go learn some new spells! Are your Warriors content to stay at home because there are no enemies to hunt? Maybe it is time to have them explore the surrounding area for monsters by placing explore flags! Some heroes are smarter than others. For instance, the intelligent Wizards almost always equip themselves with any available Healing Potions, but thick-headed Warriors of Discord almost never do. Likewise, some heroes are more loyal than others. A Rogues only loyalty is to gold and wealth. In a multiplayer game, your own Rogues might attempt to satisfy a Reward Flag that another sovereign placed on your Palace. Paladins, on the other hand, can only be tempted to disloyalty by the most excessive rewards, if at all. These are but a few examples from a long list of behavioral differences between your heroes. It is one of the challenges facing any sovereign to figure out, understand, and work with these differences, ultimately manipulating them to your best interests in order to accomplish your goals.

Experience

Current Action Weapon

Improving Heroes
The longer they are out adventuring, the more your heroes increase in skill level. They do this by gaining experience (measured in points). Once a hero reaches a certain threshold of experience, that heros level increases by one. Getting to higher levels is more difficult, as each promotion requires progressively more time and experience.

Page 40

When heroes go up in level, they get more hit points, they might get better at a particular skill, and they also can gain new spells or skills. The list of actions that heroes can undertake to gain experience is quite long, and to some degree, it is unique for each hero class. In general, if heroes are in the field adventuring, they are gaining experience. However, there are ways that you can promote heroes and make them better at what they do without risking them in the field.
magical abilities. Using this buildings research features, you are able to train your Wizards to use new spells and improve their intelligence. You can also teach intelligent characters new magic (even non-spellcasters), and afford them the opportunity to increase their magic resistance.

Equipment

Heroes can improve their equipment as well as their statistics and skills. This happens when they visit different buildings throughout your kingdom. Read the Reference section for all the details, but here are a few of the more useful examples. Blacksmiths sell better weapons and armor to your heroes, but you have to spend gold in order to research each new level of improvement. Wizards Guilds enchant your heroes weapons and armor, as long as they are willing to pay for the service. Enchanted weapons and armor add to damage and protection. If you have a level two Rogues Guild, heroes can pay to have their weapons poisoned. A poisoned combatant slowly loses hit points over a given amount of time. It is quite possible that the infected character will die before the poison wears off. Marketplaces also sell helpful items to heroes, though you must research each item in order for it to be available. At level one, you can get Healing Potions. Level two offers Rings of Protection, and the third level Marketplace introduces Amulets of Teleportation. Heroes might also find improved weapons and armor as they adventure. Some lairs have hidden caches, which become available when the lair is destroyed.

Fairgrounds

The Fairgrounds provide two ways in which heroes can seek self-improvement. First, heroes can purchase upgrades to their combat skills. Second, they can take part in tournaments. Tournaments are events held at the Fairgrounds. Each type of tournament focuses on refining a different one of your heroes combat skills. The focus might be melee, archery, or magic, and there are combination tourneys, too. Heroes that use the relevant skills are attracted to the Fairgrounds for practice. Combination tournaments are open to heroes using all types of combat skills. Heroes who perform admirably in a tournament stand to gain experience and possibly even some bonus gold. By selecting the tournament type, you can guide specific classes of heroes to improvement. You can also close down the tournaments to force your heroes into the field.

Library

Libraries have several positive effects on your heroes. For starters, just having a Library in your kingdom boosts the intelligence of all heroes recruited 40 after the Library has been built. However, the Librarys most valuable role is in developing

Page 42

Orphaned Heroes
If a Temple or Guild is destroyed and heroes supported by that building decide to return home, the heroes note the lack of a home to return to and assume that their services are no longer needed. The heroes then walk to the Palace, enter, and leave your kingdom. If, however, you build an appropriate replacement Guild or Temple before the homeless heroes reach the Palace, then the new structure adopts the orphaned heroes. This does not change the maximum number of heroes that the Guild or Temple can support.

REWARD FLAGS

An important key to success in your game is in learning how to motivate your heroes. Your main tools for doing this are Reward Flags. These are offers of gold to be awarded to any hero who successfully fulfills the terms of the flag explore or attack the indicated target. There are two different types of flag, as seen here.

Attack Flag

Explore Flag

Caring for Dead Heroes

When any hero dies, a Gravestone is left behind. These markers remain on the map for a limited time after the heros death. Gravestones of higher level heroes last longer than those of lower level heroes. If you have a Resurrection or Re-animation spell available, you can bring a hero back to life by casting that spell on the Gravestone. Once the Gravestone has gone, however, there is no way to bring the hero back. You should count the Gravestone of any hero you expect to bring back toward the maximum number of heroes a Guild or Temple can support. So, for example, if you have two Rangers and two Ranger Gravestones you plan to revive on the map, that Rangers Guild (which holds a maximum of four members) should be considered full. You can immediately recruit new heroes to replace the dead ones, but if you do this, the lowest-level Gravestone is dismissed and the newly recruited hero assumes that membership slot. Thus, you would lose your opportunity to revive the expired hero.

Extortion

When you have a Rogues Guild in your kingdom, you have the option of collecting taxes in a hurry through Extortion. Click the Extort button in the Rogues Guild Control window, and the Rogues pressure your entire populace into handing over their taxes immediately. All taxes are collected and delivered to your treasury, but theres a catch the Rogues keep a sizeable percentage of the take for themselves. A higher level Rogues Guild takes out a smaller percentage of the taxes, but the cost makes this collection technique perhaps better kept in reserve as an emergency measure.

After the Market Day, the Marketplace must put all its resources into resting and restocking for a time. Thus, it does not sell any goods to heroes and ceases to generate new revenue until that time passes.

This takes you to the Freestyle Selection box. Here, you can begin a random scenario at any of the difficulty levels, or you can choose to set up the scenario yourself. The Manual Settings button takes you to the Freestyle Settings screen. This screen has all the options youll need to customize your freestyle scenario.

Use this to control what forces the monsters start with lairs and monsters that are on the map at the beginning of the scenario. Select one of the enemy force patterns using the pull-down menu.

Trading Posts

Trading Posts are far-flung buildings that collect gold on the frontiers, far from any Marketplace or other Trading Post. They occasionally send out Caravans to travel to the closest Marketplace. When the Caravan reaches the Marketplace, it drops off a load of gold. Its profitable to have your Trading Posts placed as remotely as possible, as the farther a Caravan travels, the more money it brings in. Of course, a long Caravan route makes a tempting target for wandering monsters.

Few villages feel truly safe without the protection of a Warriors Guild. The guilds unique Call to Arms skill instantly teleports all guild members home in order to see to your local needs. Main Function: Prerequisites: Level One: Home for Warriors. None. Recruits Warriors, Warriors of Discord, and Paladins up to a total of four.

Page 76

Provides the Call to Arms guild function. Combined with a Temple to Fervus, allows you to recruit Warriors of Discord. Combined with a Temple to Dauros, allows you to recruit Paladins.

Wizards Guild

The Wizards Guild is a forbidding spire visited only by those skilled in the most arcane arts and those seeking their aid. Mere Peasants do not possess the needed skills to assemble this haven. Instead, the Wizards Guild is guided into being and improvement through carefully controlled magical forces. With each level of improvement to the guild, you are granted two new Sovereign spells. All spells are limited in range, but by adding Wizards Towers you can expand your sphere of magical influence. With a level two guild in place, you can Enchant your Wizards Towers to give them an offensive sting. Main Function: Prerequisites: Level One: Home for Wizards. Requires a second level Palace. Lets you recruit up to four Wizards. Grants the Sovereign spell Farseeing. Grants the Sovereign spell Invisibility. Heroes can pay to have their armor and weapons enchanted to +1. Allows you to construct Wizards Towers and Libraries. Prerequisites: Level Three:
Grants the Sovereign spell Lightning Bolt. Grants the Sovereign spell Anti-Magic Shield. Heroes can pay to have their armor and weapons enchanted to +2. Provides the ability to Enchant Wizards Towers. Grants the Sovereign spell Lightning Storm. Grants the Sovereign spell Supercharge. Heroes can pay to have their armor and weapons enchanted to +3.

Wizards Tower

By building a Wizards Tower, you extend the reach of your Sovereign spells. Enchanted towers automatically shoot energy bolts at nearby enemies. This enchantment only lasts a set amount of time, after which you can Enchant the tower again (and again). Like the Wizards Guild, this building is magically constructed. Main Function: Extends the range to which Sovereign spells can be cast (from the Wizards Guild). Requires a Wizards Guild. Must be built within range of a Wizards Guild or another Wizards Tower. You must have a second level Wizards Guild in order to Enchant a Wizards Tower. Extends the range of Sovereign spells. Can be temporarily Enchanted to fire defensive energy spheres.

Page 78

Buildings That Appear
In addition to the buildings you build by choice, there are some that, given the right circumstances, spring up on their own. Some are vital, like your Palace. Others, like the Sewer and Graveyard, are more akin to lairs than buildings. Most of these structures are necessary evils. They provide challenges to your settlements growth, but are in fact inescapable results of that growth as well.

Nefarious Swindlers

Wizards
Wizards have low initial hit points and strength, but as they gain levels, they can learn powerful spells that make them formidable in battle. Wizards tend to be cauMasters of tious; they have high intelligence but low the Arcane strength. They shun armor, as it interferes Arts with their spell casting. Primary Attack: Usual Activity: Base Armor: Base Weapon: Ranged spells Research None Staff
Solarii (Followers of Helia)
Every Solarus fights well with a huge, crushing mace. Solarii have average speed and dodging skills, but very high strength and damage bonuses. In addition, they wield a dangerous Fire Spell. Primary Attack: Usual Activity: Base Armor: Base Weapon: Melee Exploring Chain mail Mace

Fiery Warriors

Warriors of Discord
You can recruit these characters at a Warriors Guild, but only if there is a Temple to Fervus in your kingdom. They are excellent warriors but very expensive. Warriors of Discord 91 generally are quite strong, but have poor dodge and parry skills.
Deranged Soldiers of Chaos

3:31 PM

In addition, they have a special attack that can damage multiple enemies at once or flat-out kill an enemy in one blow. Their blade of choice is a gruesome, two-handed weapon of their own devising. Warriors of Discord prefer to wear a type of armor also of their own design, which consists of leather straps, bits of chain, and large, razor-sharp spikes. Primary Attack: Usual Activity: Base Armor: Base Weapon: Melee Hunting Leather harness Chaos blade
He smelled awful! commented the prince, wrinkling his nose in obvious displeasure. Be thankful your mother did not enlist Gnomes, Doralass replied. Though industrious little folk, they carry a stench unmatched in Ardania. When I am sovereign, mused the prince I will have nothing but heroes in my kingdom! The prince knew all too well the disappointed furrow that now crossed Doralass brow. A lecture was sure to follow. And who will build this kingdom of yours? While Warriors swing a blade with considerable skill, they are not so deft with a carpenters hammer, I assure you. And even should you manage to erect some semblance of a kingdom, remember that heroes require rewards to perform service. The Palace and City Guards defend you and your kingdom with steadfast loyalty. But. the prince interjected, only to be cut short again. And let us not forget the very life blood of your kingdom, the seasoned advisor continued, skipping past the interruption. Gold is gathered for you by your T Collectors, so ax that you may continue to influence these heroes of which you speak so fondly. The prince sighed his resignation, seating himself on a nearby stump as Doralass continued to recite the virtues and necessities of maintaining a capable force of henchmen subjects. The lesson ran well through the afternoon.

Tax Collector

Tax Collectors walk from building to building gathering gold, stopping only at those youve left on their routes (or assigned for a one-time collection). They start out from your Palace, then return there to deposit the collected gold in your treasury. Tax Collectors can also operate out of a Guard House; the taxes they deliver there are instantly transferred to 95 your treasury.

Page 96

MONSTERS
As your heroes and henchmen wander the land of Ardania, they cannot help but encounter the dangerous creatures that lurk all about the countryside. Though many of these beasts are of natural origin, we use the broad term monsters as a category to describe them all.
some encounter between the Minotaur and humans. Garbash was filled with unease and superstition, believing some dark curse had been cast over him, marking him for suffering. Now the humans built great stone piles within his territory! Rage began to well within his bestial heart as Garbash considered the human incursions and followed the scent to its origin. With a thunderous bellow, the Minotaur broke into a determined charge toward the human building. Garbash will destroy humans and all their piles of stone! he thought, visions of battle and destruction playing out in his primitive mind. Moments later, Sir Daran Swiftblade pulled his sword from the lifeless Minotaur who had come charging at the Dancing Unicorn Inn from the wood line. It appears that my hunt for this beast will not take as long as I imagined, he commented to the Peasant who was busily repairing the damaged Inn. The bounty on this one will be enough to purchase that set of plate armor Ive been eyeing over at Ogerds Smithy. With a chuckle at his good fortune, Sir Daran begin his journey to see the famed Blacksmith.

THE AXE OF GARBASH

Garbash brayed uneasily at the scent on the chill autumn wind. Fire and.humans! They were close now, moving into territory clearly marked by the Minotaur as his own. All through the past summer, more and more humans had plagued Garbash. Humans had settled in this region earlier in the spring. At first, only the weak ones with stinging arrows had ventured into the wilds claimed by Garbash as his own. Those had fallen quickly to the Minotaurs powerful axe. Lately, things were different. Humans appeared bearing all manners of weapons and magic. A day did not pass without

MONSTER LAIRS

Most of the monsters of Ardania breed in lairs scattered throughout the wilderness. These lairs range in quality from primitive animal dens and warrens to elaborate, dark castles. If you want to get to the root of your monster problems, your best bet is to destroy any lairs you can find. The less lairs there are, the less monsters youll encounter.

Temple To Lunord

Winged Feet Wind Storm Increases the targets speed. A gale moves and damages everything in the target area.

Petrify

Temple To Krypta
Wither 1 Lowers the targets strength and poison and disease attack skills. Summons a Skeleton that follows and aids the target. Cast on the grave of a recently dead hero, brings that hero back with some of his hit points healed.

Temple To Fervus

Healing 1 Restores hit points to the target. Confuses enemies with an illusory replica of the target. Entangles the target. Animate Bones Re-Animate 2 3

Illusionary Hero Vines

Temple To Helia
Fire Strike 1 Fire does damage to the target; does not damage buildings. Causes burn damage to every creature in the target area.
Farseeing 1 Illuminates hidden sections of the land. The target becomes undetectable by its enemies for a short time. Damages the target.

Sun Scorch

Invisibility

Lightning Bolt

Anti-Magic Shield

Temporarily protects the target from magic by removing most negative spell effects and protecting against them. Temporarily doubles the range of Wizards Towers and Guilds. Causes lightning damage to all enemies in the target area.
No, Sire. Old Venn was looking quite shaken. It is the prophet Juleck. He is dying. Juleck lay shriveled in a bed, his only remaining fire shining dimly from his eyes. His words shook out with great effort, Sovereign, come here. I knelt by his side and gently took his hand. Juleck had warned me of so many dangers; counseled me during times of such duress. He was the seer to generations of Sydrian rulers his death was never even considered. You have done well. for such a young ruler. His eyes locked with mine and for a moment I saw the same old Juleck. Stop resting on your laurels, for your enemies do not. They grow stronger with each passing of the sun. Gorgons are coming back. towers fire arrows at your heroes. a monster approaches, far more powerful than anything you have fought before! He paused to catch his shallow breath. You must melt the northern ice with the warmth of your heart and the strength of your resolve. Juleck closed his eyes and I was a little child again, destined for great things but feeling very alone. T me. tell me ell what to do, I stammered. Wear a winter coat, he said. Sovereign. It will be cold where you are going. These were the great seers last words; an era was slipping away before my eyes. I would now rule without benefit of a seer. After some time in silence my Royal Advisor hesitantly spoke, Sire, what should I do? Call the tailor. Apparently I need a warmer coat.

Monster Lairs

There are many new Monster Lairs to be found in the Northlands. Some are seen frequently, others only in particular epic quests. The following two require a special note:

3:33 PM

Page 124
The Ancient Graveyard is a wilderness lair that spawns undead. Unlike the Graveyard that automatically appears in your kingdom, the Ancient Graveyard can be destroyed. The Broken Sewer Main automatically appears in your kingdom in a similar manner to the Sewers. However, the Broken Sewer Main can be destroyed and should be quickly!

Greater Gorgons

Greater Gorgons are strong, half-human, serpentine creatures that often travel with Medusae. It is rumored that they can petrify humans with their terrible magic.

Ice Dragons

These northern serpents dwell in glacial caves of ice and rock. Although related to the Ardanian Dragon, they breathe a freezing blast instead of fire.

Ratapults

The Ratmen have built rickety siege engines down in the sewers and wheel them to the surface to aid in their conquest. The Ratapult is controlled by a small driver and launches Balefire, an explosive magical projectile.

Monsters

This is a listing of the known monsters that inhabit the Northlands. As you have found in southern Ardania, it is likely that there are even more powerful creatures to be found guiding the actions of the ones detailed below. In addition, some monsters from Majesty have learned new tricks from monsters in the Northlands. Keep your eyes open for a couple of surprises.

Ratman Champions

These are rumored to be the elite soldiers of the Ratman King and are usually seen leading Ratmen raiding parties. Big and tough, they have lethal weapons and impressive armor.

Ratman Shamans

Ratmen bands that feature female Shamans as one of their participants are especially dangerous. Ratman Shamans cast enchantments on their compatriots and disease-inflicting spells on their adversaries.

Goblin Overlords

Goblin Overlords are big (for Goblins), highly intelligent (for Goblins) and aid in concentrated attacks on your kingdom. They also protect specific Goblin lairs.

Shadow Beasts

These nearly undetectable, undead creatures run swiftly and can claw through the strongest armor. It is rumored that they are pets though of whom no one knows (or wants to find out).

Page 126

One of the deadliest creatures of the Northlands, the massive Yeti is a formidable match for even a small group of competent heroes. Its icy fists can crush plate armor like paper.
