Story
It is said that long ago peace and tranquility reigned in the lands. Food and drink flowed abundantly, man and beast lived in peace, gold and silver abounded - it was the Golden Age of Akalabeth. Mondain, the second born of Wolfgang, a great king of old, wanted to usurp his brother's inheritance and used his great powers for evil, creating deep dungeons guarded by demons and balrogs. Now the blood was flowing in Akalabeth, and soon foul creatures were prowling on 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. From the land rose a pure and righteous man to fight the dark lord. British, the champion of the White Light, fought Mondain deep in the labyrinth of dungeons and eventually 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.
