The battle for purification rages on
Klavixar is a wizard from the land of Mirror who was exiled by the Draconians for being a pacifist. He eventually made friends with a band of nomads who found his wisdom to be quite excellent. The nomadic tribes told Klavixar that he should feel welcome in their humble village of Utica, and that although he was an inexperienced wizard he may prove useful in the long term. When the nomads of Utica wanted to conquer nearby hamlets and villages, Klavixar recommended peace. And luckily for the nomads, their relaxation within their wall-less township made returning to defend it, realistic and easy. Many years later, Klavixar was approached by a sage named Zaldron. He said that he could assist Klavixar in researching spells that could be used for changing the terrain surrounding Utica.
The research process was painstaking and the librarians withing Utica were exhausted. Unrest started to spread across Utica, so Klavixar decided to build Temples and Parthenons in order to let the population express their spirituality and devotion. This was a time of great tranquility and the nomads prospered. Eventually their population swelled enough to lead a caravan of settlers.
Around the time the new nomadic outpost was established, two wizards presented themselves to Klavixar. One was named Ariel, the other was Sharee. Ariel was a leader that completely focuses on life magic. Since Klavixar studied life magic, sorcery and nature magic, he felt she would be an excellent trade ally and friend. So they traded their spells freely and enjoyed each others’ company.
But Ariel and her Orc and Barbarian citizens grew restless and they expanded their empire. Eventually Ariel decided that instead of trading magic, she could attain what she wanted by stealing the spells from Klavixar’s mind itself.
Ariel began regular raids of Utica. But Klavixar knew that if he could just hold on to Utica and the new hamlet…then his Sage, Zaldron may grow wiser with experience.
Battle after battle, many units were lost. Horse-bowmen fell in combat, priests gave their lives…the future looked grim. But wave after wave, Zaldron and a few soldiers survived.
Eventually, Zaldron became an adept sage and through his diligence, Klavixar was able to change the lands to make Utica into a paradise. The population flourished and powerful Griffons were trained in fantastic stables. Zaldron was able to repel the new attacks with the new support.
Meanwhile, the wizard, Sharee entered into an alliance with Ariel. She used Chaos and Death magic to summon zombies and doom bats to punish Klavixar for not bowing and scraping to Ariel. But the last straw was when Sharee created a new village withing the territory of Utica.
Klavixar sent a huge force of rangers and griffons to attack the southern village of Halflings. And with the success of that battle. Klavixar now controlled 3 cities.
A huge academic breakthrough at the Sage’s Guild enabled Klavixar to use the spell of prosperity on his cities. This made profits from taxation/production quite lucrative. And since he was an alchemist, Klavixar was able to convert the new gold into magical power reserves. This offset the mana cost of the prosperity spells on each village.
Even though Klavixar had three cities, and felt strong. His nemesis, Ariel controlled dozens of cities and towns. Fearing that he needed to become more aggressive in Arcanus politics, Klavixar decided to summon a powerful hero.
After spending years in channeling enough energy to summon a true hero of the people…his dreams were finally answered. Out from his magic portal, emerged…RoboCop-The Paladin. RoboCop was a young Paladin from a strange land called, “Old Detroit” but his innate talents showed much promise. He was immune to magic, had superhuman might, his prayers could inspire allies in battle, he was agile, and he was a famous celebrity back where he came from.
Klavixar knew that this young Paladin needed to grow strong. So he let him train and defend Utica from the advances of Ariel and Sharee time and time again. RoboCop learned much and his skills grew.
ED209-Cobra
Meanwhile, Klavixar was crafting the finest in weapons and armour for RoboCop. He made him a sword called the ED209-Cobra. It added +3 to Attack and +3 to hit as well as giving RoboCop a blessing and the strength of a giant. Each hit from this sword had a chance to dispel any form of evil. RoboCop trained with the sword but did not enter into combat until he received his armor. This armor was crafted by OCP and made RoboCop virtually impervious to bow and arrow attacks. This was amazing because RoboCop-The Paladin was already invulnerable to Magic Attacks. The armor was golden platemail and increased his defense by eight. With the OCP armour, he could move an additional 5 paces with each turn. This made him formidable enough to bring the fight to his enemies.
RoboCop-The Paladin lead an army of griffons and a ranger unit as well as some priests to conquer some sorcery nodes in the area. The battles were not difficult but it gave Klavixar enough time to craft RoboCop his final item. It was his orb of the Fourth Directive, this made him fly with the spirit of the People. The Fourth Directive also gave him extra damage and accuracy. Overall these three items made Robocop quite confident.
His army attacked and conquered a city in the Northeast. Many griffons and rangers were lost. And all the priests died. But some griffons and RoboCop survived. And the city became a stronghold that welcomed the young Paladin. RoboCop was ready to settle down in this Halfling city and train an army of Slingers. But other problems came to his attention.
Back near Utica, Sharee was constantly corrupting the countryside. The nomads were unable to farm on this defiled territory. So they had to train priests who could purify the land.
Yet Ariel and Sharee were allied now against Klavixar and they constantly sent regiments to kill the priests and any units that tried to protect the purification process. Zaldron feared leaving the capital because of the incessant attacks of dangerous monsters like Doom Bats and even Ariel’s bloodthirsty unicorns.
Hearing the news from a griffon courier, RoboCop left the leader of the Griffon regiment in charge of the Halfling city and went Southwest. His mission: To protect the noble priests as they purified the land of the corruption.
Little did RoboCop know…that he had to face a fearsome army of Invulnerable Stag Beetles, Wizards, and even Orc Wyverns. The ensuring battle would be treacherous. And this is the detailed account of the perilous engagement…of the Hero of the People…against the Stag Beetle Army!

RoboCop is a rad comic book/movie that I recommend you watch.
And Master of Magic is one of the best strategy games of all time.
