The Horsehead Mountain
Horsehead mountain is my first area and the first version of the area was coded
during the summer 1997. The additional parts were done 1998 I guess. Can't
really recall what was in the first version and not. But I bet you can figure
that out yourself by just looking for parts with a lot of typoes and that would
be parts from the first version. The first version was approved by Shadowjack and
it must have been a nightmare to approve. The area was coded by a newbie wizard (me)
without any clue and not much help from anyone, so it had bugs and typoes all over
it. The area is a patchwork of influences and I've stolen ideas from a lot of places.
Guess the biggest influence is a RPG adventure we played when I was young that was
called 'Svavelvinter' (Sulphurwinter). You should be able to find a sulphur mine with
a dragon and tower in the middle of a crater there at least. The area seem to be
extremely popular among certain group of people that know the area really well. But
for people that don't know it well it is usually refereed as just being really
dangerous (I bet that the ogre that you can't run from is the biggest reason for that).
The area has a lot of storytelling in it, if you care to read the books and notes
that are placed here and there in it. This area is level quest 69.
Wicked gods have begun to gather forces so they can
march against Bat City. You must find their dimension
and stop them at any cost
The Prophecy of Horsehead Mountain
When winter skies are gray and the evil gods are awake
Standing in the ashes of a tortured world
Realizing that it's too late, then the quest is your fate
Through your eyes, their light will burn
For the souls that are imprisoned, justice!
It mutilates, tears, beats and speaks
A swirling poisonous cloud and organs melting
His pain, your thrill...
Solola ancient knowledge for men!
The lady in treetop got the deadly bite
Her magic scattered throughout the sky
the lightning must strike
Created from a pool of darkness
The lord of the ninth circle
A tornado of death and destruction
You christened in blood
The faithless got a surprise
Defender of evil, pay your price
The old screaming father
a halo cold as ice, await the next breath
like ice into my heart
A maelstorm of fire deep within the heart
A cruel fire device
Burn lord of the wicked and black!
Love for the one you cannot love
The burning heart, the new soul
The seventh element to repel him
once and for all....
