Garlund was a lush, largely unexplored planet in a distant galaxy, ruled by winged human-like creatures called Kyrie. The Kyrie lived in relative peace for thousands of years. Then the wellsprings were discovered, and everything changed.
As the Kyrie drank they gained powers from the wellsprings, and soon became a species of super-kyrie called Valkyrie. But along with their powers came strange visions of armies at war, armies made up of creatures from other epochs, other worlds. And these armies were all after the same thing - these mysterious fountains of youth, power and immortality. Soon, the Valkyrie realized that these visions were becoming reality, and as armies began to mysteriously appear in Garlund they sought to control these warriors and the wellsprings. Jandar the wise sought to cap the springs so they would no longer flow. Utgar the feared, his younger brother, was determined to ensure he had unlimited access. And so these Fountains were to become the ultimate plunder in a battle across time and space. Your quest is to solve the mystery and cap the source restoring order to Garlund.
Quest 4: Defenders from Ordlund
Help for Jandar comes from the psychic elves of The Ord. Power freely flows from one into the other as they lend their strength to each other's magic. Such strength now surges through KenMur's body and into his staff; the ancient magic of Touchstonine stored there pulses outward in waves.
The enemy drives forward, biting and slashing, but their attacks fall flat against the power of Touchstonine. Gastrop and her sister D’Woks rain fire down upon the advancing numbers. But as the elves work spells, their fire and their magic meet with only air. Their attackers vanish before the killing blows can land. Some strange new power is at work here. The elves themselves become surrounded by a whistling force greater even than Touchstonine and are overcome. One survivor mind-links to Jandar with this strange news.
