'I ask all of you here today to join with me
in pledging yourself to a common cause,' said
Miphon. Elkor Alish laughed, harshly:
'A common cause? Between wizards and the Rovac?
Forget it!'
And yet it had to be. Though Alish never accepted
the alliance, his fellow warrior Morgan Hearst
joined forces with Miphon and the other wizards.
The only alternative was the utter destruction of
their world.

'With this, I can conquer the world,' said Heenmor.
He was talking about the stone egg which sat on one
corner of the table: a sullen grey weight lit by dull light
from the twelve firestones which studded the walls of
this chamber high in the Tower of the order of Arl. The
everlast ochre cast no shadows.
'Aren't you interested?' said Heenmor, in a voice
which mocked his opponent.
Elkor Alish, warrior of Rovac, said nothing, but
studied the wizards and the warriors arrayed on the
chess board. In chess, as in real life, a wizard had a
hundred times the power of a warrior - but wizards
could still be killed.
'Aren't you interested?' said Heenmor again. 'Believe
me: the death-stone has power enough to conquer the
world.'
Alish raised his eyes.
'What exactly does it do?'
