Zitat:“Fountains and pools hold great
power that can only be reached by
performing proper ceremonies.
Most sure of these is immersion, for
in this way the bather surrenders
himself to the spirit of the water.
That spirit or some portion of it
thereafter enters into the bather,
whereby he gains great powers.
Woe to the weak-willed whose spirits
are sure to be consumed by
demons that put even the strong at
great risk. Yurax holds that the
Falls of lxce are greatest of all
these. Morden writes that the Pool
of Radiance is greater still.”

Zitat:“...and seated foremost in the Hall
of Minor Courtiers were the lesser
powers: Maram of the Great Spear;
Haask, Voice of Hargut; Tyranthraxus
the Flamed One; Borem of
the Lake of Boiling Mud; and Camnod
the Unseen. These too fell
down and became servants of the
great lord Bane.”

Zitat:“Ten days ride north of the Varm is
a barren and dead country called
the Lee-wai, land-in-pain or land-ofcaused-
pain. Further to the south
this place is know as the Tortured
Land. It is said to be an evil place,
shunned by the Riders. They speak
little of this land but yearly during
Ches they make a trip into its heart.
Their they go to adorate the spirit of
a glowing. spring. This they have
done for ages and so shall they do
for years to come.”

Zitat:"At this time their ruling the Twistnamed
Tyranthraxus. He strode
before his armies cloaked in flame
and led the Riders out of the waste.
At his hand the kingdom of Barze
was conquered. Turning south he
led his army to conquer the Horreb
and the Vane. Tyranthraxus was a
cruel man and leveled all that he
had taken, murdering the princes
of these lands. But the flame that
surrounded him consumed him,
destroying his body. Freed of its
shell, it flew among the men of his
army, lighting on each and claiming
it. It was then when Baron Schodt
imprisoned Tyranthraxus in a vial
of water which shone like the light
of day. This he sank in the watery
depths of Lake Longreach, defeating
the armies Tyranthraxus had
raised.”
