Many ages ago
in the village of Narwen, the powerful adventurer Quaan set out on a journey to conquer
Osta Min, the Mountain of Ice. Along with the necessary tools, he took with him two
mountain guides.
The journey was beset with danger, and when
the climbers came upon the Abyss of the Moons, one of the guides fell into the dark chasm
and was lost from view.
"Shall we attempt a rescue?" asked
the second guide. "No," replied Quaan. "The first guide was not important,
and can be replaced. No rescue attempt was made and Quaan, with the remaining guide,
continued the climb.
When they returned to the village, no alarm
was raised to signal the loss of the first guide. Were the people uncaring, oblivious, or
was there another reason for their lack of concern? What is the secret of the lost guide?
