Story
It is said that a long time ago, peace and tranquillity reigned in the lands. Food and drink were plentiful, humans and animals lived in peace, gold and silver were plentiful - it was the Golden Age of Akalabeth. Mondain, the second-born of Wolfgang, a great king from ancient times, wanted to usurp his brother's legacy and used his great powers for evil by creating deep dungeons guarded by demons and balrogs. Now the blood flowed freely in Akalabeth, and soon foul creatures were roaming the surface. Mondain brought so much disease and pestilence to Akalabeth that man and beast lived in constant fear. Thus began the dark age of Akalabeth. A pure and righteous man rose from the land to fight the Dark Lord. British, the champion of the White Light, fought Mondain deep within the labyrinth of dungeons and finally drove him from Akalabeth forever. British of the White Light was named Lord British, the protector of Akalabeth. Unfortunately, much damage had been done to the lands. The revival of Akalabest has begun.
