Wizardry III, the saga of Llylgamyn unfolds, marking a new chapter in its storied history. A generation has since passed, echoing the valor of a band of adventurers who once reclaimed the ancient armor and fortified the Staff of Gnilda, ensuring the realm’s safety. This revered Legacy of Llylgamyn ushers in an era of peace and prosperity, shielded by the staff’s enduring magic. However, an unexpected shift disturbs this serene landscape. Not wrought by man’s hand, but by a natural disequilibrium, the peace of Llylgamyn stands threatened. Reports of unusual natural disasters—freak earthquakes, abrupt climatic shifts, and thunderous storms—begin to unsettle the citizens.
Initially dismissed by many, the reality becomes undeniable when a tidal wave engulfs Arbithea, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. The sacred Temple of Gnilda suffers at the hands of a devastating earthquake, and dormant volcanoes reawaken. Amidst this turmoil, voices rise; some speak of divine retribution, urging repentance, while others, turning to ancient wisdoms. Amid these forebodings, the call to action becomes clear.
L’kbreth the Dragon
Wizardry III invites a new generation of brave adventurers to uncover the root of these calamities. Echoing the courage of their forebears, their quest is critical for Llylgamyn’s salvation. The kingdom’s wisest concur that a singular artifact, possessed of unmatched scrying abilities, holds the key to unraveling these mysteries. This artifact, a mystical orb once seized by the formidable dragon L’kbreth, emerges as the beacon of hope. L’kbreth, a guardian of the world’s balance and a progeny of the World Serpent, secured the orb away, fearing its potential to disrupt the equilibrium.
With the fate of Llylgamyn hanging in the balance, the mantle of heroism is passed to you. As descendants of the legendary heroes from the Knight of Diamonds and survivors of the Proving Grounds, your heritage is rich with valor and wisdom. Wizardry III embarks you on an epic journey to confront L’kbreth and reclaim the Orb of Earithin, a symbol of hope and the key to restoring harmony. This quest honors the legacy of your ancestors but also tests the mettle of a new generation, determined to preserve the balance of their world. Join the adventure and forge your path in LLylgamyn, where destiny awaits at the heart of magic and ancient lore.
