Description             : The Insurrection



			Part I : The Overlord's Legacy



			The Province had never known such a period of rest. 

			A peace never before seen and one that rested 

			solely on the shoulders of the Archmage. 

			His quiet but firm leadership had seen to it that 

			no race of the province should rise against 

			any other.



			But as with all things forged by order, there is 

			an underlying chaos in wait.



			The Archmage had overseen the running of the 

			province for fifty-four years and what he had 

			acheived pleased him immensely.

			Law, Order, Respect.

			And Enemies - the Ogre races he had ousted from his 

			land in a bid for Provincial law all those 

			years ago. 

			A force the Archmage had long forgotten about.



			Until the day they breached the Provincial Gate and

			began what was to be known simply as 

			The Insurrection.



			The battle raged for just one day and one night, 

			and when it was finished bonfires were lit and

			the slaughtered people of the Province 	burned. 

			The Archmage was belittled and murdered as the

			Ogre races saw fit and they came together as one 

			mighty power as once they had been.

			To them, the Archmage was no saint, no leader, 

			no hero.



			To them he was their Overlord, 

			and he had left them a fine legacy.
