A dark chasm gaped in the middle of Aladar's royal castle. This magical maw had suddenly ripped open after the cobblestones had looked for a moment as if they were floating. Smaller bolts of lightning hissed at its edges - signs of the forces of magic that had begun to work here. Then a figure leapt out of the bottomless darkness of the maw. A creature with huge feet and hands, a coarse face with a bulbous nose and stubble that grew almost to below the eyes. The skin color was stone gray and when the creature paused for a moment, it looked as if it had been carved from granite. A wide belt held together a leather vest. A strongly curved sword was girded across its back.
One of the guards on duty on the ramparts and towers now became aware of the figure.
