               various battle trophys and awards he had bestowed to \
               himself (for unusual valor on the field of battle) \
               over the years. He decided to construct a hidden \
               underground chamber south of Egreth to sequester this \
               collection, which would be locked in a most clever means. \
               He decided to order the construction of \
               a ~four-room key~ which, when a miniature trophy \
               was inserted and removed (once) in a special keyhole in each \
               of the four rooms (in a specific order), would unlock a holding chamber \
               in a center room containing his prized trophies. \ 
               Priding himself on his logic skills, he requested that \
               two captured foreigners produce a logic puzzle plainly \
               inscribed in the four key rooms themselves that would \
               detail the exact order that the key rooms were to be \
               ~applied~. A Prevaricon, \
               who could not help but write untruths, was given a can of \
               gold paint, while a Veritassi, who could only write the \
               truth, was given a can of silver paint. Imagine \
               Duncanthrax's rage when he discovered that the two \
               prisoners had secretly painted over their gold and \
               silver key phrases with _black_ paint! \
               The prisoners were \
               summarily executed, of course, but Duncanthrax sealed \

(the famous Royal Chronicler). The story states that at the dawn of time, four \
evil gods, who were brothers, sought dominance over that \
which would become our world. Great battles were fought \
between forces of light and darkness, and these \
brothers were often victorious. \
Fortunately for us, they \
could not cooperate with each other, and \
fought amongst themselves in petty power \
struggles, driven individually by power and greed. 
Indeed, legends state that on occassions, the brothers \
would seek ways to actually destroy their own siblings, \
along with the forces of good. \
One brother constructed a strange artifact that would \
have given him great power, but was discovered by agents of good. \
He was imprisoned within the very object he built. The remaining \
three, facing certain defeat without the combined strength of their \
trapped brother, fled into planes unknown, but made a pact \
that if the brother were ever freed, and the artifact of \
power returned to him, the four would \
agree to make their final attack against the forces of good. \
Kroonwatz points out the obvious parallels with various other \
mythologies that foretell the end of the known world.~";
