ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Again I am in debt to many people.
The original Midkemians, for the universe in which I work, and for their
understanding of what makes a good story, a good game, and how the two
are different.
My agent Jonathan Matson, for shepherding me through major difficulties
in creating these games, with his usual deft touch and quick wit.
John Cutter, who thought it up in the first place.
Neal Hallford, who created a very nifty story for the core of the game
which provided the basis for this book.
The rest of the creative team at Dynamix who managed to squeeze the most
out of the processor to give us music, pictures, sound and story.
And to Jerry Lutrell, for keeping me apprised of what was what early on.
My wife, Kathlyn S. Starbuck, for being who she is.
My children Jessica and James, for keeping me in touch with what's
important daily and for being the most wonderful children any father
could ask for.

The wind howled.
Locklear, squire of the Prince of Krondor's court, sat huddled under his
heavy cloak, astride his horse. Summer was quick to flee in the
Northlands and the passes through the mountains known as the Teeth of
the World. Autumn nights in the south might still be soft and warm, but
up here in the north, autumn had been a brief visitor and winter was
early to arrive, and would be long in residence. Locklear cursed his own
stupidity for leading him to this forlorn place.
Sergeant Bales said, 'Gets nippy up here, squire. "The sergeant had head
the rumour about the young noble's sudden appearance in Tyr-Sog, some
matter involving a young woman married to a well-connected merchant in
Krondor. Locklear wouldn't be the first young dandy sent to the frontier
to get him out of an angry husband's reach. 'Not as balmy as Krondor,
sorry to say, sir. " 'Really? "asked the young squire, dryly.
The patrol followed a narrow trail along the edge of the foothills, the
northern border of the Kingdom of the Isles. Locklear had been in court
at Tyr-Sog less than a week when Baron Moyiet had suggested the young
squire might benefit from accompanying the special patrol to the east of
the city. Rumours had been circulating that renegades and moredhel -
dark elves known as the Brotherhood of the Dark
Path - were infiltrating south under the cover of heavy rains and snow
flurries. Trackers had reported few signs, but hearsay and the
insistence of farmers that they had seen companies of dark-clad warriors
hurrying south had prompted the Baron to order the patrol.
Locklear knew as well as the men garrisoned there that the chance
of any activity along the small passes over the mountains in late fall
or early winter was unusual. While the freeze had just come to the
foothills, the higher passes would already be thick with snow, then
choked with mud should a brief thaw occur.
Yet since the war known as the Great Uprising - the invasion of the
Kingdom by the army of Murmandamus, the charismatic leader of the dark
elves - ten years ago, any activity was to be investigated, and that
order came directly from King Lyam. 'Yes, must be a bit of a change from
the Prince's court, squire, " prodded the sergeant. Locklear had looked
the part of a Krondorian dandy - tall, slender, a finely garbed young
man in his mid-twenties, affecting a moustache and long ringlets - when
he reached Tyrsog Locklear thought the moustache and fine clothing made
him look older, but if anything the impact was the opposite of his
desired intent.
Locklear had enough of the sergeant's playful baiting, and observed,
'Still, it's warmer than I remember the other side of the mountains
being. " 'Other side, sir? "asked the sergeant. 'The Northlands, "said
Locklear. 'Even in the spring and summer the nights are cold. "
The sergeant looked askance at the young man. 'You've been there,
squire? "Few men who were not renegades or weapons runners had visited
the Northlands and lived to return to the Kingdom.
