A powerful guardian rules each element and oversees its respective realm. Six powerful Disks, one for each realm, hold the forces of the Elemental Realms. Hundreds of years ago, the Death Disk was lost, dooming Perathia to eventual decay and chaos. The Lore Guardians, who oversee Perathia and battle the forces of darkness, help to stem that chaos. P One such guardian is Azurik, the newest addition to the Lore Guardians. While Azurik trains in the ways of the Elemental Powers, he meets Balthazar, an older, more experienced guardian. Balthazar challenges him to a battle in which Azurik holds his own. Enraged, Balthazar calls on elemental forces, but the leader of the Lore Guardians, Eldwyn, stops him. The Elemental Disks keep the realms in check and in order. Enraged at being scolded by his superior, Balthazar hurls his Axion staff at a wall in the training room. The wall shatters, and when the dust clears, Balthazar finds the missing Death Disk. Unable to control his desire for power, Balthazar takes the Disk home. Azurik is the newest Lore Guardian. Although he is young, he learns quickly and shows much promise. Azurik and Balthazar practice, but Balthazar takes the combat a little too seriously. Balthazar's staff shatters a wall in the training room. Behind the shattered wall sits the Death Disk, missing for hundreds of years. That evening while meditating, a terrifying guest, the Death Guardian, visits Balthazar. The Death Guardian searches Balthazar's mind to discover what he truly desires. Although Balthazar tries to fight, he is powerless against so great a creature. Balthazar's greatest desire is power, which the Death Guardian promises him. He tells Balthazar he must bring the other five Elemental Disks to the Death Guardian to earn greater power. 2 INTRODUCTION The Death Guardian searches Balthazar's mind. The Death Guardian gives Balthazar power. Now Balthazar must retrieve the five Elemental Disks. Later, while Azurik and Eldwyn talk in the Temple of Elements, Balthazar arrives. Eldwyn sees that Balthazar is possessed and acts to stop him. Without experience to know what to do, Azurik reaches for his Axion and moves to attack. But Balthazar is too fast and attacks first, sending a huge bolt of power at the young Lore Guardian. Eldwyn jumps into its path, saving Azurik at the cost of his own life. Possessed by the Death Guardian, Balthazar prepares to steal the Elemental Disks. Balthazar attacks Eldwyn and Azurik. Eldwyn's quick action protects Azurik, but costs him his own life. The attack in the temple causes additional problems. The energy disrupts the five Elemental Disks, and they each shatter into four pieces. The Fragments are hurled to the edges of the Elemental Realms. Perathia is doomed to chaos unless Azurik can locate, reassemble, and restore the Disks to their proper positions in the temple. With Eldwyn dead and Balthazar under the Death Guardian's control, only Azurik remains. But the massive cataclysm in the temple stripped him of his Elemental Powers. Virtually unarmed and facing a huge task, Azurik must set about saving his world from its greatest threat. The Elemental Disks shatter from the release of great energies. The Disk Fragments fly to the four corners of Perathia. Only Azurik has the skill, knowledge, and will to retrieve them. 3 ™ ™ PRIMA’S OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE Cast of Characters Azurik As the last Lore Guardian, the protection of Perathia falls solely on Azurik's shoulders. This is you, the only remaining Lore Guardian. Armed initially only with your Axion staff, travel through the six Elemental Realms to rediscover your powers and find the 20 pieces of the Disks. To do so, face and defeat each Elemental Guardian that watches over the realms. Balthazar Even before he met the Death Guardian, Balthazar was prone to rages and rash actions. Eldwyn A former Lore Guardian specializing in martial skills, Balthazar was always a worry to his master, Eldwyn. With the power of the Death Guardian, Balthazar is even more powerful and capable in battle. Although the Death Guardian drove Balthazar insane, it also gave him tremendous strength and Elemental Powers beyond that of mortal men. No longer as capable in battle as he once was, Eldwyn's great wisdom and knowledge makes him powerful. The leader of the Lore Guardians, Eldwyn has protected Perathia for over a century. While his combat skills have declined, he has an unparalleled knowledge of the land and the Elemental Realms. Eldwyn dies in Balthazar's attack in the Temple of Elements, but you hear this ancient Lore Guardian's voice when you access the many Deluvian Oracles in the Elemental Realms.
