Long ago, before the Great Purging of the Island Empires, there were 80 Sea Kings. Each held his keep on the cays which comprise the Urchinn Isles. As tradition, when a king would die his body was set to sea in a large boat from whence the king's spirit would rule the high seas.
But one island was differentÉ On this island lived the great and terrible wizard, Faltor Pan. Using his magic he captured the sea kings' souls, imprisoned them in a labyrinth on Blackstone Island, and promised them no rest until a very powerful, very old magic sword known as Doomcreeper, was pulled from the depths and delivered to him. In truth Faltor Pan is no man, but said to be an ancient serpent!
