PALACE OF THE VAMPIRE QUEEN BACKGROUND

For three centuries the peasants of the Dwarvish island of

Baylor have feared the raids of the Vampire Queen and her minions.
Sweeping down at night from the palace in the shrowded peaks of the
island, they range ever farther in their search for blood. And not only
blood — the children of dwarf peasants often dissappear if they are so
unfortunate as to be out at night. Even the cities are no longer safe.
The most recent victim was the Princess of Baylor. daughter of King
Arman. who Was taken in a midnight raid on the capitol city of Ar Toe
within past weeks. King Arman has offered fabulous riches and land
holdings with titles to the person or persons who can brave the
stronghold Of the Vampire Queen and return his daughter to him alive
and well. But, in truth, he holds little hope. For even King Arman,
Ruler Of Baylor, Defeater Of the Ten Orc Tribes, is afraid in his heart
to face the Vampire Queen.

Storytellers say that long ago the Vampire Queen was shipwrecked
on the island - barely alive and all but drained of blood. Shipwrecked
with her were her guards and ladies in waiting - all her jewels. her
rich clothing and her crown. But none Of these things. nor the love
that her subjects bore for her, had the power to save her, and she died
that night.

The guards and ladies-in-waiting mourned. They took her

bodÿ into the mountains to build her a majestic tomb to house
her remains and all her earthly possessions. No one can Say for
certain if the tomb was built for they were never seen again.
Except at night.

The road the people took was steep and hard. but the road is
there. Children talk of how they will conquer it when they grow up.
Their parents huddle at the fire and pray that their children will live
to grow up. Brave men have tried to end the reign of the Vampire Queen.
but none have ever returned. Rumor says that there is a palace high in
the mountains and that it contains great riches. But rumor also Says
that it contains great dangers greater than mortal men can hope to face
and win.

The people wait in fear at night. The King wanders his royal
palace. so empty now without his only child. Neither the King or his
people have hope left that a Hero or group of Heros will come to rid
them of the Vampire Queen. For surely the Vampire Queen lies deep
within the forbiding mountains. protected by her subjects. vengeful
with hate for all truly living things and constantly thirsting for
human blood on which to feed.
