Dark Dragon led the evil hordes of darkness.
The Ancients fought back with the Powers of Light.
Dark Dragon was defeated and cast into another dimension.
The Lord of Darkness vowed to return in 1,000 years.
Time passed, and Dark Dragon was forgotten by all.
Ten centuries of peace ruled the land of Rune.
Until the kingdom of Runefaust brought war to Rune.
Hordes of evil creatures ravaged the land.
Here and there, strongholds of Good still held out...
awaiting a Hero who could wield the Powers of Light"

<6.1 Runefaust Invasion>
------------------------

[Insert story here]

A thousand years passed...
Fearing that the dark power would once again rise up...
We secretly left behind a force capable of protecting the seal.
You are that force...

Wise words for such a little girl, Simone. She reads a book about the
ancients when you come and walk into her grandfather's shop. He's gone so
while you wait, Simone invites you to read the old book until her Grandpa is
back. You can now start a new game. Choose a name for your hero, the default
one is Max. Max huh? That's a cool name XD. You'll start off with a battle
between Varios and Max. Varios is training Max so he can become the best
swordsman in Rune. The old knight needs to rest a while. Go inside and Lowe
will show up. He thinks Max is great because he can hold his own against
Lord Varios. You're now forced to go back to Varios because Lowe is blocking
your way.

When you're back Varios will ask you if you remember anything from your
past, but no Max can't remember a thing. He tells you you're going to be
a knight when a soldier interrupts the conversation, ..., it seems it is
a secret because you can't hear it. Varios decides to go to the castle along
with the guard. Go inside and talk to Lowe. He wants to check out whats it all
about Varios and things at the castle, you have to meet him there.

You're in chapter one!
                                Chapter 1
                            Runefaust Invasion

Your first view in the new chapter is the map of Guardiana. You'll now go
automatically to the priest, he tells Max he had an odd dream last night, and
asks if you can guess what it is, now choose yes or no, it makes no difference

He dreamt about the first time he saw you, Lowe an apprentice found Max lying
on the beach a year ago. He thinks it's fate that brought you here. The
father explains you can save your game at any priest in the game, now do it,
save your game. Go outside and explore the city. Go to the bar on the right
and talk to Gort select yes when he asks if you want to hear his story.

Now go to the castle and enter it, a conversation between King Guardiana &
Varios will start. He tells this is grave news, now speak to the king of you
want to know what's going on. He tells about the Gate of the Ancients,
the gate where the relics of the gods are sealed, and a strange aura 
surrounding it. You must go an protect the gate. First talk to the king again
and also to Nova, Ward and Varios. Now speak with the king angain and he 
agrees with Varios so he'll send you to the Gate of the Ancients. Accept this
mission. You now have to gather your companions, once you have done so you
have to go back to the king.

When you try to go back to the town a sentry will stop you and show you the
way to the Headquarters. Go inside the HQ and you'll meet Ken, Tao, Hans, Luke
and Lowe. When the first four have introducted themselves they join your party
After that Lowe will come and join you too. Nova will come and tell you to
report to the king. Before you do, you can talk to the other members
of your Shining Force and get to know them a bit better, and even get some
cards you can use later in the game.

When you're back in Guardiana's castle talk to the king, he tells you there 
is a carriage for you at the gate of the town, this one will take you to the
Gate of the Ancients. He also gives you 100 coins to buy some herbs but
if you're familiar with the gameplay of Shining Force you don't need to buy
any.

<> 12. Nova's Battle Tactics <>
-------------------------------

Battle 1:

The first battle. Let's start from the basics. This'll take time, but be 
patient. Know your enemy! You can get info on a class of enemy after fighting
just one of them. Don't drop your guard on the battlefield. And watch out for
enemy counterattacks. Beware of Dwarf Rune Knights when fighting at the 
Gate of the Ancients. They're tough. We're still weak. Advance with care and 
make sure you have one Medical Herb per person. There's a limit to MP even for
a Healer, you know. Mages and Archers have low Defence, so be careful when
putting them at the front. And lastly, if things get dangerous, retreat!
Using battles to improve your level is also a worthwhile strategy.
