PROLOGUE
Long ago, before the building of our great city, twelve heroes
arose. Each was famous for different deeds of varying natures. The greatest of
these heroes is the one whom we now know as King Altador. He, with the aid of
the other heroes, founded our illustrious city by the sea.
Before the Great Betrayal, the kingdom of Altador was one of the most glorious
places in all Neopia. It was a centre of culture and greatly admired for its
dignified citizens. Those blessed times were nearly lost when one of our own,
who once called herself an ally and friend to the heroes, turned her heart to
darkness and attempted to destroy the city. Only by Jerdana's magic were we
saved, though our future remains uncertain.
Within this tome you will
find the recorded history of the twelve heroes and how they came to form the
Kingdom of Altador. Protect this knowledge well, for it may be all that is left
if Jerdana's magic fails and the betrayer succeeds....
After reading the book go back to Hall of Heroes to see the Janitor
The archivist says, Yes, that button
in the
Hall of Heroes...
the
Janitor
has spoken to me about it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, either, or
how to fix it... perhaps there's a book here in the archives that might tell
me something.
The Janitor
If you go to him before talking to the Archivist, you will get this response.
The button here is supposed to do something, but can't figure out
what."
You push the button. Nothing appears to happen.
"I TOLD YOU! It doesn't do anything!! Why did you push it anyway?! RAARGH!!" The
Janitor flails his mop around angrily.
After reading the Book that you got from the AA the Janitor will respond Like
this:
"You know, maybe the gears have just gotten dirty or seized up, it's been so
long since the button was used. If there were some way to grease the gears, the
button might do something again."
Need to find the oil for the Button
Click on each Statue until
you come across the oil and rag
Behind the statue's base, you notice a jar of oil and a rag.
Now go back to the Janitor and he will tell you
"Oh, you found the oil I use to polish the plaques! Good idea! Maybe it can free
up the gears. Go ahead and put some on the button mechanism, and we'll see what
happens."
"Argh! Now it's light, and I'll have to go back to mopping instead of guarding
this button! Curse you!" But you think he means "curse you" in a friendly
way.

Now it's time to map out the

You can go to Maps and Such

After you

Constellation go back to the Dark Faerie Statue and look at the ceiling.
Then go and talk to the Archivist
Lenny.
He will say:
"Extraordinary! You've identified a
constellation based on the..." He looks around suspiciously, and speaks low. "On
the Darkest Faerie? Her eyes, in fact? This... how strange." He stops for a
second, staring blankly. "You know, I'm having the oddest feeling, like this is
familiar. There's something on the tip of my brain, some piece of information...
what is it?" He shakes his head. "I just can't figure it out. Well, perhaps
there are other constellations to be found."
The archivist shuffles over to the Book of Ages and flips it open. "Something
else has happened, however, and it might be connected to your discovery of the
constellation. A few more pages of the book have magically filled themselves in!
It tells a story about the Darkest Faerie herself... from before. Before she
turned evil, and betrayed us."
Now go and Examine the Book
of Ages. You will now find Pages 4 thru 7.
Just as a hero must perform
a heroic deed before he can be named as such, a villain must also do something
terrible in order to earn such a title. The Betrayer was not always an evil
being and was once even respected for her deeds. Long before the Great Betrayal,
(in fact, before the founding of Altador), she earned her place among the twelve
Founders by saving the life of King Altador himself.
A terrible menace was plaguing a peaceful farmland, and a hunter (the future
king of Altador) journeyed forth to slay the beast. He tracked it back to its
lair in a cave at the base of a mountain and there cornered it. Though the beast
roared viciously, Altador did not falter.
Rather, he notched an arrow and let it fly,
striking the beast squarely in the head. Even as the vile creature slumped to
the ground, another of its kind snuck up on the unsuspecting Lupe. The noble
hunter would have fallen then and there if not for a purple blast of magic.
Startled, Altador spun around, just in time to see the other creature collapse.
There, standing behind it, was a dark faerie... the Betrayer.
Altador thanked her graciously for saving his life. He had never witnessed such
compassion on the part of a dark faerie before, so he bid her to return with him
to his village, where they would feast and be praised as heroes.
Page 7
Each carried the head of
the beast they had slain to the village, and a grand celebration was held
long into the night. Altador, realizing what a unique ally he had acquired,
asked her to stay and join him and his companions in fulfilling a dream he
had of founding a great city. The Betrayer agreed, and though she would
ultimately help to build the kingdom's august capital and serve the council
well, nothing can make up for her terrible betrayal. She broke the king's
heart, for no sword strikes as deep as the one wielded by a friend....
After examining the
Book Of Ages. go back to the Janitor, he will be mad as usual, he says...
The Janitor shouts at you,
"HEY! Stop leaving the lights on in the observatory!
It's wasteful! I CAN'T STAND WASTEFULNESS!! RAAARGHH!!"
Go back to the main Altador Map, on the top right hand side you will see some
clouds. Click on them! They will take you to the top view of Altador.
Click on the Cloud on the top right hand side as shown below.
That will show you the Dreamer Constellation
Then go and talk to the Archivist
Lenny.
He will say:
The archivist says, "Another pattern, floating in the clouds? What wonders you
find! Perhaps it corresponds to another constellation. Off to the observatory
with you!
Then Go back to the Observatory.
Click on the telescope to load your scope.
Now it's time to map out the
Constellation...
Follow the Steps like you did in with the Sleeper
You can go to Maps and Such
to see different ways to do so.
After you finish mapping the Dreamer then go and talk to the Archivist Lenny, On
your way out
make sure you look at the Ceiling
of the Dreamer Statue.
The archivist says,
"Ah, you found another constellation! Most excellent. And another chapter has
appeared in the Book of Ages! This one seems to concern Psellia, also known as
the Dreamer."
The archivist examines some notes on his desk. "I've been thinking about what's
going on. Why these clues are revealing themselves to someone such as yourself.
And why this did not happen until after the Darkest Faerie was defeated,
and her grip on Altador broken." He shakes his head. "It makes sense,
intuitively, but I don't know what's going on. I've been looking through
the Archives, trying to find something in our histories that could explain this,
but I've been having trouble even finding the histories in all this mess." He
shakes his head. "I'll get this place cleaned up one day, I swear..."
Though she lacks the
worldwide fame of other Neopian faeries, Psellia is well known and revered for
her kindness in Altador. She always does her best to encourage others to achieve
and is always there to catch them if they stumble in their lives. A rather
inspirational figure, Psellia is known throughout Altador as "the Dreamer."
One day, long before the founding of Altador, Psellia was relaxing on the clouds
of Faerieland when a Blumaroo bounced too close to the edge of a cloud and
slipped off. Psellia watched in horror as the Blumaroo plunged toward the sea
far below.
She knew the poor creature would not survive the fall, so she leapt off the
cloud and darted downward, fluttering her wings as fast as they could go.
The turbulent sea grew closer and closer, and Psellia could see the Blumaroo's
terrified eyes as he desperately flailed his arms toward her. Though her muscles
burned with the effort of flying faster than she ever had, the air faerie was
determined to catch the falling Neopet before it was too late.
Page 11
Using the last of her
strength, Psellia let loose an amazing burst of speed that only an air faerie
could manage and grasped the Blumaroo's outstretched hand. With his paw firmly
in her grip, Psellia tried to slow their fall, straining at the air until they
landed in the ocean with an almost delicate splash. With the last of her energy,
Psellia swam to a nearby shore, dragging the Blumaroo safely onto dry land,
where they could recover.
This heroic tale spread quickly, and soon thereafter Altador requested that
Psellia join him in forming the Kingdom of Altador.
End of Phase Four
Status: Waiting to map Next Constellation.
"Ah, Siyana. The First to Rise, as she is called. How
fitting that her constellation should be revealed by the rising sun." He
chuckles. "I'm afraid I haven't much more to tell you about why this is all
happening, though perhaps we can learn from what I haven't found. You
see, I've gone through the entire archives twice -- and I can't find a single
history book. I can't fathom there being thieves in Altador interested solely in
history books, though..." He shakes his head. "But I'll keep looking, and see
what I can find."
The archivist clears his throat. "Oh, by the way, if you want to see all your
previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a list for you
here."
Long ago, when the Kingdom of Altador was little more than a whisper on King
Altador's lips, the heroic legend of Siyana the light faerie arose. It is often
said that through her actions alone, an entire village was saved from a most
dreadful fate.
During her travels, Siyana once stopped at a small, peaceful farming village.
The locals were kind, gracious Neopets, so Siyana stayed in their village for
many weeks, helping to keep their crops from frosting over in the chilly nights.
One evening, after checking the crops, she spotted a shadowy form moving in the
woods.
Suspicious, Siyana grabbed a thick blanket to hide her light and trailed the
stranger at a distance, deep into the woods, until he joined a group of bandits
gathered around a campfire. She flew in as close as she dared and listened from
a high branch.
"Well
done, scout," said their leader. "Soon that village will be ours!" Siyana
dropped the blanket and fled as quickly as she could. One of the bandits spotted
her and fired an arrow. A terrible pain shot through her left wing, and she fell
to the ground. Though she couldn't fly, the courageous faerie ran as swiftly as
her legs would carry her, with the bandits in close pursuit.
When
she finally reached the village, Siyana was out of breath and could not shout to
wake the villagers! Instead, she focused all of her light faerie power to glow
as brightly as she could. Thinking the sun had risen, the villagers came
outside, and saw the band of thieves approaching. They armed themselves and
chased the bandits away for good.
The villagers could hardly express their gratitude to the light faerie. One of
the farmers, a Kacheek named Florin, told her that there was a noble Lupe she
should perhaps meet. When she did, Siyana the light faerie came to be one of the
founders of Altador.
The Astronomy Club members once again cheer as you enter the room. The president
walks up, a smile plastered across his face.
"Gosh, it's really great how you're
finding all these constellations so fast. I really wish I knew how you did it."
The smile is not in his eyes, though.
Nevertheless, he withdraws a small item from his robes.
"Well, uh, anyway... I
suppose you should have this, now that you're obviously a full-fledged
astronomer."

"Ah, yes, a constellation representing Florin, the great
Farmer of Altador. Truly, our land has flourished because of his wise oversight
in bringing us foodstuffs."
He turns away and coughs gently. "Um... it seems that I'm still having trouble
finding any history books in the Archives. I'm beginning to suspect that some
magic might be involved. But such magic's do not bear the stain of the Darkest
Faerie; I do not believe the missing history books are her doing. I think I
shall investigate and see if any other history books can be found within
Altador. The Archives are not the only store of knowledge here -- merely the
largest, and most impressive!
The archivist clears his throat. "Oh, by the way, if you want to see all your
previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a list for you here.
Read the Book of Ages
Not everyone who helped found Altador was a
magical faerie, capable of using their natural gifts to help others. In fact,
one of the most notable of all the founders was a simple farmer with a good
heart...
Florin had lived his whole life on a small farm. Each day he rise with the sun,
to tend his crops and feed the Petpets he raised on his farm. Though Florin
worked hard from dawn to dusk, he greatly enjoyed his simple life.
One day, while going into town to buy more Petpet feed, Florin noticed a group
of farmers talking. Apparently, some strange blight was afflicting their crops,
and unless something was done, a whole season of food would be lost.
Page 18
Florin asked one of the farmers to show him one of these sick plants. The farmer
led Florin to his nearby field, a third of which had been consumed by some
terrible disease that had turned the plants black. Florin had spent much of his life studying plants.
Though his own crops were unaffected, he spent days trudging through dangerous
woods, looking for a rare plant that few knew existed.
Page 19
Days later, as the villagers were just about
ready to give up hope, Florin returned, carrying a satchel that was filled with
a strange herb they had never seen before. The Kacheek quickly ground up the dry
herbs and mixed them into a large trough of water. He then instructed the other
farmers to take a bucket and pour the water onto their afflicted plants. Within
days, the blight had vanished, and though Florin's own crops wilted from
neglect, the villagers were more than happy to share their crops with him.
Tales of his selfless deed soon reached others, and that is how Florin came to
meet King Altador and become the future overseer of the kingdom's plentiful
farms.
The Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the
club president, who seems a little upset.
"Okay, we get it, you're a great astronomer. I mean, four constellations? So
quickly? That's just... Are you sure you aren't... cheating, somehow? How could
you know so much about the sky, when we've lived here all our lives and never
been able to find any constellations?"
he grumps.
End of Phase Six
Status: Waiting to map Constellation.
The archivist says,
"There, those dancing ruffians have been taken care of. By sheer coincidence,
the leader of their little gang looks just like the nice boy who runs all those
clubs here in the Archives." He shakes his head. "Kids these days."
He claps his hands. "Anyway! On to business. I see you've found a fifth
constellation: Sasha, the Dancer. And of course another chapter has appeared in
the Book of Ages. We're drawing ever closer to completing that book." He
shuffles some papers on his desk. "And on that note, it seems that there are
no history books to be found within Altador. Not a single one! And what's
worse -- nobody can seem to remember any of Altador's history. Not even
me!" He shudders. "So much knowledge, stolen away somehow. We must find out who
is responsible and stop them! Altador's knowledge must be restored!"
The archivist clears his throat. "Oh, by the way, if you want to see all your
previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a list for you
here."
The true worth of a kingdom, it is said,
should not be judged by the wealth of its treasury, but by the happiness of its
people. An excellent example of this lesson can be found in the form of Sasha
the Dancer, a Cybunny who had the gift of indomitable spirit.
A great festival was once planned in the quiet town where Sasha grew up. For
months, the villagers toiled so that their festival would be the grandest ever.
Though they worked hard all day at their normal jobs, the villagers labored
long into the night to set up a grand stage and saved as much of their food as
they could for the gala event.
When the day of the festival finally arrived, the town was buzzing with
excitement.
At
last they would enjoy the fruits of their labor, sing, dance, and get a
much-needed break from their daily lives. But when the festival was just hours
away, an extremely fierce set of winds began to blow. The town elders herded
everyone into a large basement below the town hall for safety.
For hours, Sasha sang to the children and kept them calm as the adults fretted
and worried. After the howling wind quieted down, the townsfolk pushed open the
trapdoor that led to the basement, only to find that their beloved bandstand and
food stores for the celebration had been utterly destroyed.
Seemingly, the spirit of their community had
been destroyed, too. A dark cloud seemed to hang over them. But that's when the
Cybunny stepped forward, despite the chaos...
...and
began to dance, as if she were on a beautiful stage. The villagers were shocked,
but soon began to smile and join Sasha's dancing. The sound of their revelry was
heard well into the night. It wasn't long before the future King Altador came to
the village, seeking the dancing Cybunny named Sasha. Altador understood the
power of hope and inspiration, so he warmly welcomed her to be a part of his
council.
After you finish with your Dancer Constelation the
Janitor shouts,
"My favorite underground dance club got closed down by that stinking' Archivist! GRAARGH, THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!!"
He hurls his mop to the
floor and stamps his feet.
End of Phase Seven
Status: Waiting to map Next Constellation.
"Ah, I should have suspected -- Marak, the Wave, revealed by the sea. Excellent
work. And as usual, another chapter of heroic deeds has appeared in the book."
He sits down at his desk and sighs. "This peculiar situation we're in seems to
have created a logical dilemma. I've done some research, and examined the nature
of the magic involved. It seems that there are two, identical magic's present.
One is that which has stolen our history, and the other is that which reveals
these clues. They are the same magic. And neither magic feels hostile in
any way; but nonetheless, whoever has perpetrated these magic's has stolen our
history from us. That seems to me an unforgivable crime!" He shakes his head
sadly.
"I've also taken a trip to the Hall of Heroes, and looked at the gems embedded
in the ceiling above each statue. Half of them are now alight; and it is not
unreasonable to guess that we will find more clues, and have the remaining
constellations revealed. But in what order? And to what purpose? What is going
to be revealed?"
The archivist clears his throat. "Oh, by the way, if you want to see all your
previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a list for you
here."
Read the Book of Ages
The courage to lead is a trait that few
possess, and the ability to lead well is even rarer. Marak, the leader of a
peaceful clan of Peophins, was one blessed with this ability...
Marak ruled over a small underwater village at the base of a drop-off just
beyond the shore. His clan had coexisted peacefully with a town of fishermen who
had lived on the coast for many years. Of late, however, due to their
over-fishing, food was becoming scarce. The land folk blamed the shortage on the
Peophins. Though Marak tried to reach a peace agreement with the leader of the
fishermen, hostility between the two camps escalated quickly.
Though Marak was still angry, he did not want to leave a mutual
hatred that would only fester, so he went ashore and spoke with the fishermen's
leader. He reasoned that continuing like this was senseless. Persuaded by the
Peophin's visit, the town leader agreed to work with Marak to find a peaceful
solution.
A few years later, King Altador heard the tale of Marak's strong leadership, and
offered to let the Peophin and his clan live off the shore of what would become
the city of Altador.
After go to the Astronomy Club
The Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the
room... except the club president, who ignores you completely.
The other club members come over to you. The Wocky clears her throat. "We
just wanted to say that we appreciate all the great work you're doing for
the Astronomy Club. Finding those constellations has really made everyone
impressed with us! So, because of that, we got together -- except for Mr.
Pouty over there --" She glares at the club president. "--and got you this!"
Broken Astrolabe
The Wocky continues, "Sorry it's broken, but we don't have a lot of money.
In fact, we found it in the storage closet here... But it's still a cool
little item, isn't it?"
Regarding Broken Astrolabe: Note: it is yet unknown whether to fix it or not.
The definition:
Astrolabe: a compact instrument used to observe and calculate the position
of celestial bodies.
It makes sense that you could see the stars better when using it.
It was replaced by another instrument, so it's older and less effective than
the new instrument. Interesting, since Altador is supposed to be the most
innovative of all Neopian cities.

"Another clue, on a drinking vessel? How strange... I

I wonder what that shape is... Well, you'd better go find the constellation."
The archivist clears his throat.
"Oh, by the way, if you want to see all your previous clues collected into one
place, I've made up a list for you
Ah,
of course, I should have recognized it. A shield, for Torakor, the Gladiator.
And found at the Coliseum, no less. Of course, the Book of Ages has gained a
new chapter."
"Now, this is very
important, so pay attention. I've delved even deeper into the magic's that have
stolen our history, and I've realized that they seem very familiar. I can't
quite put my finger on it, but I've definitely seen magic like this before. The
problem is that what the magic's most remind me of are... well... I don't know
who, specifically, but I believe they are similar to magic's wielded by one of
the Heroes of Altador. I don't know who, though; all of the Heroes use magic to
some degree or other, and I don't know if I can identify who, precisely, might
have created the magic in question here."
He sighs.
"The problem, of course, is
that if one of the Heroes is responsible for the magic's that have stolen
our history... well, that would be a great tragedy. Imagine! Another betrayer
among the ranks of the Heroes! But who could it be?"
The archivist clears his throat.
"Oh, by the way, if you
want to see all your previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a
list for you
here."
Read the Book of Ages
Physical strength, coupled with a strong sense of virtue, is often lacking in
this world. One who steps forward and demonstrates both will quickly become a
legend. Such is the tale of Torakor, the Gladiator.
In the old days, armies often collided, at a great cost of money and lives.
Sometimes, to spare those costs, each army would send forth its greatest warrior
and let a one-on-one battle decide the victor. A Grarrl named Torakor was the
strongest warrior in one such army, and he won many victories for his commanding
general. With Torakor faithfully at his side, the general thought his army to be
invincible, and decided to expand his territories. Torakor was troubled by this,
but who was he to question his leader?
One
day, the army came to a small village the general wanted to conquer. His huge
army surrounded the village, and he shouted a challenge to the townsfolk. "Who
will face my champion? Send forth your greatest warrior, or bow before me!" All
was silent until a quivering Shoyru stepped forward, armed with only a garden
hoe. The army burst into laughter--except Torakor. He approached the Shoyru,
then turned to face his own army.
"I will fight for them," Torakor stated. "Step forth, any who think they can
best me in battle."
His general shouted, enraged. "Eliminate this traitor, at once!"
Mortified by the order to attack one of their own--thousands against one, no
less--the warriors lost confidence in the general's leadership, just as
Torakor had. One by one, the soldiers joined the Grarrl, facing outward from
the village. Torakor, through strength of virtue alone, had won his own army.
Word spread quickly of a mighty army that protected villages instead of
sacking them. It wasn't long before Torakor received a letter, informing him
that a new city could use an army such as his. Torakor gladly accepted.
After go to the Astronomy Club
The Astronomy Club
members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the club president,
who ignores you completely and mutters imprecations under his breath.
A couple of the other club members--the Wocky and the Korbat--come over to
you. They motion you over to a corner of the room.
"Listen, we're all pretty unhappy with how the club
president is running this place. I mean, we can do what we want, mostly, but
he's just really grouchy and being a jerk lately. We just wanted to let you
know that, um..." She glances around furtively.
"He may not be the club president for much
longer, if you know what I mean." She winks
meaningfully at you, then goes back to her star charts.

"As I suspected: Gordos, the Collector. There are only a few
gems unlit on the ceiling of the Hall of Heroes, so that narrows down which
Hero's constellation is to be found next."
He coughs.
"And in that vein,
I'm examining the remaining Heroes, the ones whose gems have not yet been lit.
Fauna, the Gatherer; Kelland, the Thief; Jerdana, the Protector; and of course,
Altador himself. I am forced to suspect that one of these Heroes may have been
the traitor I spoke of before."
"I know it is unthinkable that one of
them might have stolen our history, but I see no way around it. Kelland is an
obvious suspect; could he have gone back to the thieving ways of his youth? Or
perhaps Jerdana's power has grown to the point where she desires to challenge
Altador for the kingdom. Fauna, well, I can't think of why she would do
something like this... maybe beneath her outward appearance of kindness there
lurks a heart of malice. And Altador himself, well... it would be unfathomable
that he might destroy the history of his own kingdom, but he might have
had reason. Shame, perhaps, over letting the Darkest Faerie conquer the
kingdom..." He shakes his head sadly. "It is a sudden betrayal that I inevitably
curse."
The archivist clears his throat.
"Oh, by the way, if you want to
see all your previous clues collected into one place, I've made up a list for
you here."
Read the Book of Ages
When it comes to financial dealings, it is very easy for one's morals to slip,
since greed is a very powerful and terrible desire. Those who can resist its
call are greatly valued for their honesty. That is why Gordos, our Skeith tax
collector, is always smiled upon--even when he comes to collect.
Before Gordos helped to found Altador, he served a city that severely taxed its
citizens. He felt bad for taking such a large portion of everyone's earnings,
but the governor insisted that every Neopoints was being put to good use and that
high taxes were necessary to keep the city prosperous and growing.
Gordos took the governor at his word, but eventually he noticed that the city
was falling into ruin. Crime had escalated, and many went to sleep hungry.
Wondering why a city with so much tax revenue was not flourishing, Gordos went
to talk to the governor. When he was denied entrance, Gordos pushed his way into
the governor's home... and was shocked to see it lavishly decorated. Expensive
art and exquisite rugs lined the rooms. Golden plates and goblets were set on a
table with enough food for thirty townspeople.
Page 35
Gordos clenched his teeth. So this was where the tax money had gone? To gold
platters for the governor to dine upon while the people starved? Gordos
confronted the governor, who attempted to bribe him, offering to share his
riches if Gordos kept quiet.

"Well
done, scout," said their leader. "Soon that village will be ours!" Siyana
dropped the blanket and fled as quickly as she could. One of the bandits spotted
her and fired an arrow. A terrible pain shot through her left wing, and she fell
to the ground. Though she couldn't fly, the courageous faerie ran as swiftly as
her legs would carry her, with the bandits in close pursuit.
When
she finally reached the village, Siyana was out of breath and could not shout to
wake the villagers! Instead, she focused all of her light faerie power to glow
as brightly as she could. Thinking the sun had risen, the villagers came
outside, and saw the band of thieves approaching. They armed themselves and
chased the bandits away for good.
Its the dancer
At
last they would enjoy the fruits of their labor, sing, dance, and get a
much-needed break from their daily lives. But when the festival was just hours
away, an extremely fierce set of winds began to blow. The town elders herded
everyone into a large basement below the town hall for safety.
...and
began to dance, as if she were on a beautiful stage. The villagers were shocked,
but soon began to smile and join Sasha's dancing. The sound of their revelry was
heard well into the night. It wasn't long before the future King Altador came to
the village, seeking the dancing Cybunny named Sasha. Altador understood the
power of hope and inspiration, so he warmly welcomed her to be a part of his
council.
One
day, the army came to a small village the general wanted to conquer. His huge
army surrounded the village, and he shouted a challenge to the townsfolk. "Who
will face my champion? Send forth your greatest warrior, or bow before me!" All
was silent until a quivering Shoyru stepped forward, armed with only a garden
hoe. The army burst into laughter--except Torakor. He approached the Shoyru,
then turned to face his own army.
