The Sword of Jale' Russ Crites

Kara, a powerful sorcerous from Jale', fights against intrigue in the fabled city. After much discussion, she and some friends decide to bring Raven and Talia to the great city so that they can aid them in their tasks. After an unexpected battle, Raven and several companions and friends visit Tael and Lady Irilene in the Mountain of Mist. It is there that he is told in no uncertain terms what he must accomplish if he has a chance to save Kalandra from utter evil and darkness. Tael explains that he must: -Put the rightful heirs on the thrones of Arondia and Coral Isles.-Find the Keeper of the Children and Dragon Lord who must ready the children for war.-Find the Emperor's sword, which can be found somewhere near Camelford and Dozmary Pool.-Find the Emperor and place him on his throne.-Get the support of several countries.-Find the Dwarven companion who will create a sword of power necessary to win a major battle.-Assist the Emperor in preparing Kalandra for an invasion of massive proportions. It becomes evident to Raven that he is racing against time to get everything done. They must get the Emperor's sword and return Arondia to its rightful heir. He decides to split his forces. A small group will go to earth with him to find the Emperor's sword, while the remainder of the companions and others will attempt to take back Arondia. Other tasks would have to wait.
