Welcome to the world of the Enchanter saga - a world where magic is
commonplace, a world where guilds of professional magic-users spend their
lifetimes mastering the intricacies of thaumaturgy, a world where great
forces of evil must constantly be held at bay. An evil Warlock has
subjugated the land to his power. All who have opposed him have failed.
But many years ago, in another age, the great Elders of the Circle of
Enchanters foresaw the possibility of these dreaded occurrences. They
realized that no fully accomplished Enchanter could penetrate the Warlock's
defences unrecognised, and knew that the task of freeing the land would fall
to a journeyman conjurer. You have been identified as the Apprentice
Enchanter who must save the land from the Warlock. As a fledgling
Enchanter, you have learned your lessons but have not faced all your tests.
You possess great power, but in the ranks of necromancers you are a lowly
and ignorant person indeed. You have been well trained in the basics of
magic, and you will be greatly aided by the spells you know and the spells
you will learn. But you must also rely on your powers of observation and
quick wits.
