After the tremors that shook Britannia subsided, gargoyles,
inhabitants of the other side of the world who now found their homeland virtually
destroyed, began to appear on the Britannian side of the world in increasing numbers as
aggressors. They launched vicious attacks against the human race and many were they who
lost their lives in defense of our realm. The gargoyles even attempted to assassinate the
Avatar. They set a Moongate trap which lured the Avatar into their clutches, but the
Avatar was rescued by his companions. So it was that Lord British did once again call upon
his champion to set the world right. Ending this violent racial conflict was the greatest
challenge that the Avatar had ever faced. At last it was revealed that the Codex of
Ultimate Wisdom, which had been removed from the underworld by the Avatar, was actually
the property of the gar-goyles. Therefore, the Avatar placed the Codex into the great
ethereal void where it would be possessed by neither human nor gargoyle. Two lenses, used
to view the Codex, were given to Lord British and gargoyle ruler King Draxinusom. As the
cause of the conflict between the two races had been removed, it was hoped that the rift
between the two would eventually be closed. Those who would say that this terrible and
destructive war could have been prevented entirely had the Avatar not appropriated the
Codex from its true owners are merely dissidents who are grossly misinformed. |
