## New Order Wisdom

You are about to embark upon a crusade against Lord Vandyan of Eldenora, a cruel tyrant who draws his power from runes created long ago by Agarash the Damned—the first champion of the Dark God Naar. The evil power of these ancient stones must be destroyed, and quickly, if Vandyan is to be prevented from enslaving the free kingdoms of Northern Magnamund.

During your quest, some of the material items that you will encounter will be of use to you, yet others may be red herrings of no real value at all. If you discover items during your travels, be selective of what you choose to keep. Pick your five Grand Master Disciplines with care for a wise choice will enable anyone to complete the quest, no matter how weak their initial COMBAT SKILL and ENDURANCE scores may be. Completion of previous Lone Wolf adventures (Books 1–23) may be advantageous, but it is not essential for the successful completion of this New Order adventure.

Grand Master—may the light of the Gods Kai and Ishir guide you safely during your mission.
