How it begins
The dying light of the Red Moon has been captured in a crystal by the magicians of Baskalos to act as the last repository of magik. Its guardian for many years has been Myglar, a wise and respected sorcerer. But unbeknownst to the other magicians, Myglar was steadily being consumed by fears for his own mortality. Now he is channeling the remaining power of the Red Moon crystal into keeping himself alive. It's your task to defeat him and recover the crystal before he drains it completely of its magik.
