5. DIFFICULTIES

5.a Intro in difficulties:

This game has five difficulties. They are based on the metallic level 
you start your character. To unlock new difficulties you must beat the
game on previous difficulty. Starting difficulties are BRONZE and SILVER.
For getting a GOLD beat either SILVER of BRONZE. I personal haven't get
to the NIOBIUM difficulty so i don't now does it even exsist. 

5.b List of difficulties:
                         1.BRONZE
                         2.SILVER
                         3.GOLD (Locked)
                         4.PLATINUM (Locked)
                         5.NIOBIUM (Locked)


5.c BRONZE: Very easy opponents, no rich opponents,little money to 
    earn. You can use bronze to build up your rune collection, if you 
    don't spend many. My advice is to stay in this mode until you are 
    about 20-50 level then export your character and then go to the next 
    difficulty level and that is: 


5.d SILVER: When you are on 20-50 level enemies should be not 
    very hard to beat. Here you can get very nicier thing than 
    in BRONZE. Is suggest you to beat the game on this difficulty 
    to get the higher level and that will help you on next difficulty. 
    Here you will get more expirience per monster killed and you will 
    get much better rewards. Enemies here will be aroun 1-3 level higher 
    than you. Stay here for longer time to get good items and other stuff.

5.e GOLD: GOLD is good increase from SILVER. The enemies 
    are not much harder than in SILVER, and rewards very good. 
    Try entering here whey you are around 60-90 level to get 
    as much you can in here. This is ideal difficulty for 
    exploring a map because it is hard to get an level. Not much 
    people has made this far because you must beat the game once to 
    get this difficulty.

5.f PLATINUM: There is not much to say about this difficulty. 
    Enemies are harder but there is a good diference in the drops.

5.g NIOBIUM: Haven't got this far. Sorry!:):):):)

7. GAME STORY

 
             The Creation of the World

In the beginning, there was chaos! The world was darkness, fear and dread! But
then the Gods arose from the blackness and slew the Demons of Darkness. They
banished them to the dimension of evil and brought light and order where before
there was none. However, the Demons were furious with the Gods and sought ways
into the plains that the Gods now created. Life blossomed in a thousand worlds
when the Gods sowed their seed. But soon afterwards, death consumed these crops
when the Demons of the Underworld succeeded in breaking down these heavenly
wonders. Therefore, out of their own blood, the Gods created the Heart of Ancaria
to unite all living things and seal off the plains. Fire, earth, water, air and
space flowed into this Worldstone, the foundation of all existence. The Demons
raged against the Gods who had banished them and they sought to possess this
Worldstone. However, the paths leading to the mortal world were barred, so they
spread mistrust, poverty, hunger and pestilence among the creatures of the Gods
and they filled the hearts of mortals with a lust for war, destruction and a
craving for absolute power...


                 The Seraphim Army
When the Demon Lords had thrown the heavenly creatures into chaos and the
Sorcerers of Darkness had learned to use the blood of innocents to unlock
the gates of hell, the demon spawn poured out over the worlds in their
hordes. In battles lasting eons, the Gods were steadily driven back and the
Heart of Ancaria was in danger of falling into the hands of the Demon Lord.
Behold, Sophja the Goddess of War arose and sacrificed herself by confronting
and falling at the hand of Worganar, the highest of the Demons. However, when
Worganar rejoiced, believing the heart of the world to be within his grasp,
from the blood of Sophja rose new warriors: the Seraphim. The Seraphim used
their heavenly powers to destroy Worganar and his followers and drove the
Demons back to the hell from whence they came. Then, as peace finally appeared
to be at hand, the Seraphim were charged with the protection of the Golden
Heart. They broke it into five pieces and hid the pieces in the furthest
corners of the Kingdom. However, blessed with heavenly power and with their
superiority in battle, the Seraphim became arrogant and conceited. In their
aloofness and high spirits, they neglected to protect the five elements, and
so they were discovered and stolen by a darker breed of power-hungry Elves,
the Dark Elves...


              The Seraphim of the Present
The Elves, the proudest of the heavenly creatures, fought against their
power-hungry brothers and sisters of darkness. However, the Dark Elves, now
in possession of the magic elements, used blood, fire and disease to overcome
this noble race. One last time, the Gods sent their Seraphim army to stop the
slaughter. However, strengthened by the magic of the elements that now flowed
freely throughout the Ancarian world, the Priestesses of the Matriarchy of
Dark Elves swept away huge swathes of the Seraphim and only a few survived.
The salvation of the mortals came in the form of the Dwarfs of Gnarlingen,
later to become the Dwarf stronghold of Gnarlstat. Armed with their broad axes,
these proud warriors hacked at the ranks of Dark Elves and drove them back. 
During these battles, the remaining three of the five elements were recovered
and brought to safety. The Seraphim were annihilated, with no army and only a
few custodians of the light, who had to return to their heavenly origins and
dedicate themselves to the protection of good...�


               The Kingdom of Aarnum I
One thousand years ago: Sophia, Royal Priestess and Protectress of the
fortified monastaries of the Seraphim leaves the monastery at Icecreek Dale
to her son, Aarnum I. Aarnum, a wild and impetuous man who has grown up in a
world where Orcs and Dark Elves exert a murderous rule over the land and
enslave the population, longs for peace. However, the Seraphim, weakened and
small in number, refuse to help him. Aarnum flees to the forest stronghold of
Tyr-Fasul in the Land of the Elves and gathers together an army of soldiers and
knights errant.  Aarnum deprives the Royal Priestess of her power and, with the
help of his troops and the Dwarfs of Gnarlstat, he gathers a powerful army and
captures Mhurag-Nar Castle from the Dark Elves on the Ancarian plains. Aarnum
renames the castle Braverock, establishes his power as a worldly King and 
denies the Seraphim any authority within the borders of his small Kingdom.
The sons of Aarnum I extend their Kingdom's sphere of influence with an iron
fist. Knights, ruffians and bands of thugs roam the land, hunting and killing
Orcs, Ogres and Dark Elves.


                    Seas of Blood
Morgast, second son of Aarnum I, proves to be particularly brutal and extends
the persecutions to include Witches, Sorcerers and Mages as well as traveling
minstrels and other nomadic folk. Between the capital Braverock Castle and the
fortified monasteries, he builds Thundercliff fortress, soon to be known only
as Crow's Cliff. This is because of the thousands of crows and ravens that 
feast on the corpses dangling along the grisly avenues of gallows, scaffolds
and graves stretching out from the Seat of Morgast. Meanwhile, the Dark Elves
are plotting a grim revenge. Using poison and treachery, they penetrate from
the north, through the catacombs of the Dwarven stronghold of Gnarlstat and 
annihilate the Dwarven population. Not a single Dwarf, neither man, woman nor
child survives the massacre. Barricaded in the stronghold, the Dark Elves 
build the fortress of Zhurag-Nar on the ruins of Gnarlstat, and from here they
dominate the north-eastern plains of Ancaria.


                 The Desert Wastelands
The Orcs, who once populated all the plains of Ancaria, are driven away to the
east and south. While they are either enslaved or killed by the Dark Elves in
the east, those hordes of Orcs dispersed by the royal troops to the barren
wasteland of Khorad-Nur in the south manage to eke out a miserable existence
there. However, the Orcs are hardened by these harsh conditions. The hordes
develop warrior cults and brute force becomes the ruling factor in the demanding
life of an Orc. In contrast, courtly customs are introduced to the houses of
the nobility in the Kingdom. The Orcs soon learn to survive in the wastelands
and start producing armor and weapons in the forges of their villages and
mountain settlements. In the centuries that follow, the south of the Kingdom
is subjected to continuous raids by the Orcs, whose increasing power is
attracting other greedy creatures: Ogres, Goblins and Trolls willingly join
the Orc troops.


                 The Wars of Succession
The break-up of the Kingdom is threatened under King Vladimir VI. The noble
houses of DeMordrey, direct descendants of Morgast I, of Oblividon in the east
and of Mascarell in the southwest compete for succession to the throne and
divide the Kingdom into separate, self-sufficient baronies whose only duty
of obedience is to the King himself. In the family of Vladimir DeMordrey,
the Dark Elves find willing allies and together they cast a shadow of intrigue 
and assassinations over the Kingdom, during which the houses of Oblividon,
Ransenmar and Wiedenfeld, among others, are destroyed. However, Vladimir's
reign of terror stretches further. The persecution of the Mages is not confined
to the Barony of DeMordrey; they are hunted as renegades throughout the entire 
Kingdom. On the intercession of Baroness Magdalena of Mascarell, Vladimir calls
a halt to the persecution and executions and deports the sorcerers to the 
furthest regions of the dark moors in the east. Here, they are forced to 
endure a miserable and dangerous existence. To pay for this act of mercy,
Magdalena of Mascarell has to marry Vladimir's son Alexor, who then shortly
strikes his young bride dead in a fit of rage.


                  The Reign of Blood
Prince Valorian, a direct descendant of Aarnum I, is banished by Alexor I
and grows up in exile in the fortified monastery of Icecreek Dale. While out
riding one day, he rescues the Speaker of the Elves of Tyr-Hadar, Laralasa, 
from a group of DeMordrey's soldiers. Valorian very nearly loses his life
during the episode and only escapes death thanks to the healing powers of the
Elves, who nurse him back to health at Lebensbaum, not far from the village of
Timberton. His brave intervention touches Laralasa's heart and she falls in 
love with him. Valorian discovers the Elves to be courageous allies. With the
help of the Elves and the Seraphim of Icecreek Dale, Valorian succeeds in 
toppling King Alexor from the throne at the Battle of Faeries Crossing and 
seizes the crown for himself. Valorian I ends the reign of terror and liberates 
the serfs. The sorcerers can return to the Kingdom and court sorcerers are 
introduced, while the Seraphim receive the status of Paladines as part of this
restoration and are no longer subject to any worldly jurisdiction in the Kingdom.
Valorian may not enter into marriage with Laralasa and so he weds Alexor's niece,
Moridya DeMordrey, in order to make peace with the House of DeMordrey.





                   The Great Peace
Valorian's grandson is King Aarnum X. Aarnum's power is based on an established
system of trade and taxation that extends to all corners of the Kingdom. 
The Elves of Tyr-Hadar send forest runners to the Kingdom to help the royal
trackers while the Seraphim secure the peace and administer justice. Relations
with the House of DeMordrey are strengthened by a new alliance. Vladimir 
DeMordrey is now Aarnum's highest-ranking field marshal and military protector
of the Kingdom and commands the best-trained and most powerful troops.
The young Baron DeMordrey successfully protects the Kingdom by strengthening
the town of Bravewall on the authority of the King. However, this decision means
that the economically insignificant towns of Gloomoor, Highmarsh and Moorbrook
are henceforth completely isolated from the protection of the Kingdom.
Aarnum's son, Prince Valor, is currently fighting the troublesome Orcs in the
south of the Kingdom. The young prince has not yet chosen a bride, however, Lady
Druusa DeMordrey and Lady Varia of Hedgenton are among the most beautiful and
desirable women in the Kingdom.

9. STARTING QUEST
------------------------------------------------------
9.a Battle Mage:
   
                      A test of magic and courage
The Battle Mage starts off right next to a stone circle, you 
need to talk with your instructor. He will tell you to kill 
the Troll which he has summoned into the stone circle. If you pass
the test, you are a full-fledged Battle Mage. Go into the circle and kill 
the beast. After you're done, talk with Alcalata for the second time. He 
tells that you are now a real Battle Mage, and tells that you should go 
see Commander Romata at Bellevue garrison. A soldier called Ensign Weston 
accompanies you for the trip.

                          Romata of Bellevue
Now start heading towards south, soon you will meet couple soldiers 
guarding a wooden bridge. Cross it and follow the road. You will 
be in Bellevue now. Keep on following the road and it will take you 
to the garrison, where Commander Romata is waiting. He tells you to go
find Sergeant Treville in Porto Vallum, Ensign Weston will leave your party.

This ends the starting story.
------------------------------------------------------
9.b Gladiator:

                       The promise of freedom
You start out inside an arena, there are couple guards and a trainer 
in there. Talk with the trainer, named Julius. He will promise that you 
will be freed if you win your next battle in the arena. Now go through 
the middle door to engage in combat. After beating your opponent, you 
should be free... But wait! What is that Orc doing there? You will need 
to kill that too. Now go back in and talk with Julius again.

                       Betrayed by own master!
Julius had no plans on freeing you, and as you killed the fighters that 
were supposed to finish you off, he must do it himself. Now the guards 
will also attack you. Kill them all and then talk with the person inside 
the room. His name is Rocheford, and he works for the King. He will help 
you in getting out of the arena by opening the locks. He also wants to you 
escort him to Commander Romata, who is at the garrison in Bellevue.
Now go out of the arena.

                    Finding this 'Romata' fellow
Ahh, fresh air at last. Now head towards east, following the road. You'll
soon reach a bridge, guarded by two soldiers. Cross it and follow the 
road to find the village of Bellevue. Now head northeast and cross the 
large stone bridge. Romata will be waiting you in front of the large 
building. As you speak to him, Rocheford will leave your party and you 
are to find Sergeant Treville at town of Porto Vallum. Remember to 
activate the waypoint in the northeast section.

That's it for the starter quest for Gladiator.
-----------------------------------------------------

9.c Seraphim:

                   Holy people with robber problem
The Seraphim starts at Bellevue abbey, and the First Novice has a problem. 
Talk with her, she will tell you that a band of robbers have arrived to 
the river and are planning to loot the abbey and abduct people. The robbers 
are on the back side of the abbey, so get in there and start the killing. 
After disposing of the seven robbers, talk with First Novice Leandra 
again. Now you are to find Commander Romata in Bellevue garrison.

                       Sword Sister of the Crown
Follow the road towards southweast until it turns towards southeast. Keep 
on following and you will soon reach a wooden bridge guarded by two knights. 
Cross it and you are in Bellevue, the road will take you directly to the 
garrison. Commander Romata will be there, and he will tell you to go 
speak with Sergeant Treville, who is located in the city of Porto Vallum.
Do not forget to activate the waypoint in the small garden which is towards
northeast from the garrison.

Now the quest continues as merged.
----------------------------------------------------

9.d Dark Elf:

                        What am I doing here?
You start off on a small plateau with Maegalcarwen, the Wood Elf.
Talking to her is your first task. She tells you that you both should
go see Commander Romata at Bellevue Garrison, so that she would finally 
be safe from the Elendiar, young Dark Elves of Zhurag-Nar, who are 
hunting her and you because of the escape from the dungeons. Enter 
the cave next to you after checking the contents of the chest. 
There are wolves and Dark Elves in the cave, but they should not pose
much of a threat to you. After emerging from the cave, start advancing
towards northeast. You should reach the village of Bellevue soon, but 
beware, there is a boss blocking your way on the bridge. After disposing
it, you're free to explore the village, or you can go directly to Commander
Romata and finish your first task!

                             Hello there!
Maegalcarwen leaves party now and leaves you to talk with Romata. 
Commander Romata recruits you to help Prince Valor and his troops, who 
are fighting the orcs of Khorad-Nur in the distant borderlands. You are 
to find Sergeant Treville in Porto Vallum, who will brief you on the next 
mission.

                    Checking out the neighborhood
Feel free to explore the surroundings of the village, most likely you will
stumble upon some citizens who have tasks for you. It is entirely up to 
you to decide whether to accept the tasks or not. However I will not take 
part on optional quests in this guide, so read on after you feel like 
you've seen enough of Bellevue.

From this point on, the main quest is merged with other
characters.
---------------------------------------------------

9.e Wood Elf:

                           So it begins
You'll start on the same plateau as you start on Dark Elf. Your first 
task is to talk with Laurelinad, the Dark Elf who has been protecting 
you ever since you two fled the dungeons of Zhurag-Nar. Now you need 
to get into the cave and find the southern exit of it. Outside you will
be attacked by Elendiar, young Dark Elven hunters. Start making your way
towards northeast, following the path. You will soon reach a bridge, 
after crossing it you are in Bellevue! Feel free to explore the city if
you want, but you need to find Commander Romata, who is in the 
fortificated part of the city. Romata gives you a job to find Sergeant 
Treville in Porto Vallum, Laurelinad leaves your party.

And now the quest continues the same as with other characters.
---------------------------------------------------

9.f Vampiress:

                     Repaying the bad things
Vampiress starts on the second floor of an abandoned mansion. Go down 
to first floor and you will find a Novice there, speak to her. She wants 
you to escort her to Commander Romata at Bellevue garrison as band of 
slave catchers are wanting to abduct her. She will join your party and 
you can leave the mansion. Start heading towards west and you will reach 
Bellevue shortly. Cross the stone bridge and speak with Commander Romata. 
Romata gives you a letter of introduction which you are to give to Sergeant
Treville, who is at town of Porto Vallum. The Novice will thank 
you for escorting her and leaves the party.

From this point on, the quest continues the same as with other characters.
