A Game of Heroic Combat in a Forgotten Age of Barbarism and Sorcery
© 1981, © Reaper Miniatures
Designed and Developed by Arnold Hendrick.
Cover Painting: Frank Cirocco. Map, Rule Illustrations, and Graphics: Cynthia Sims Millan. Typography: Arnold Hendrick. Figure Design: Max Carr.
Evil events have overtaken the Northlands. You -- Cal Arath, Barbarian Prince -- are in hiding and the usurper who killed your father, the Old King, now sits on his throne. Now you must flee south and raise enough gold by adventuring to equip an army with which to regain your rightful heritage. The way will not be easy, for the men of the south are strange, and some are schooled in the black mysteries. The passes are guarded by monsters, it is said, and in the ruined cities lurk foul things never born of this earth. But you have your stubborn Northland will and your great sword -- and woe to anyone or anything which stands between you and your quest . . .
