As Glittergold entered the swirling vortex outside his quiet mountain home, she did not know what to expect. Just that morning she had recieved the message from his god, Garl Glittergold, that she was needed in a land many universes from his own. Glitter laughed at how ironic that was. Here in her native land of Granitehome the gnomish population was being slowly killed off by the Dominion, and it looked like they would have to evacuate their
ancestral city. And she, their heir-apparent, was to leave for another planet. "Oh well", she thought "Who are we to question the moves of the gods". With that thought in mind she crossed through the portal.
Emerging from the gate brought her face-to-face with a tall sturdy building. Outside hung a sign that read, "Red Dragon Inn". "This looks like as good a place to stay as any I've ever seen", she muttered to himself. She pushed the door open and entered. The strong scent of spiced potatoes, alchohol, and blood wafted towards him. "Just like home", she thought to himself. Looking around Glitter saw all types of people. Over in the corner two elves
cuddled, whispering promises of the future to each other. At the many tables of the establishment sat minotaurs, dwarves (she noted with disgust), humans, and a lot of other races she didn't recognize. Glitter also heard shouts coming from what looked like a built-in arena. Glitter sat down at one of the few vacant tables in the inn, and waited for a waitress to pass. While waiting she noticed a book on the table titled "Lands of RhyDin". After
ordering a mug of ale, she settled down to read the book about this strange new land. About three hundred pages and six hours later, Glitter felt more secure about her surroundings (Or maybe it was just the four mugs of ale she had dranken). Glitter took a room for the night, and ascended the stairs to prepare for evening prayer. After praying to her god, she had a firm idea of her goal in RhyDin: To become a baron in the Duel of Swords. And so the
saga begins.
