“Long before the crown was rent,
Ere from unworthy fingers the Thistle was made free,
In the age when the Lordly-Isle was still unbent
When shadows ruled, wyrms’ reign’d beyond grasping trees,
And to the black-drake all men wert bound,
All bound in lamentations to the Dark Crown,
That belongs to the Dark Laird upon his Icy-Throne,
Thus are all bound within the Unhallow’d Crown.”
In days long past, the Blood-Gem of Aganippe was forged by the mysterious Romus, and the ancient Sorcerer-King Aganippe together they fashioned a great ruby of power, one which he drew the great Dragon Zomok into. Into this Blood-Gem he poured his anger and power, along with that of the Dragon, ere he was devoured by the very Gemstone he had created. This Blood-Gem was lost to the ages until one Gargath, the Dark-Laird sought it hopeful to bring about the fulfillment of his predecessor to the title of Dark Laird, Romus’s nefarious dreams to fruition.
From within the Dark Fortress at the heart of Tuathmurdún, Gargath seeks the Blood-Gem that could gift to him, all the dark powers of his master and the wicked Zomok.
Nine years after disappearing at sea, during a storm Murchadh the fisherman washed ashore, bequeathing to his son, Cormag this terrible artefact: It along with the quest to the island of Antilia near where Tuathmurdún lies, to destroy the Blood-Gem with the mystical Spear of Light.
