In a faraway realm…

In the shadows of a forgotten land… Four years have passed since the evil witch-lady was laid to rest for the second time in the haunted canyon narrows of the wilds—her soul sealed inside the little orphaned robot, Anvil, under a grave of stones.

Having been defeated and buried the first time after she had held the Land of Shadows and its orphans spellbound, the witch had returned from her grave many years later, only to begin a new reign of terror.

It was in this second reign of her terror, that the witch had summoned two stone trader ghosts to possess the bodies of the two helpless adventurers, Jonathon and Haley. She had used the ghosts as her puppets to help her unleash yet another vicious sleep spell upon the realm, instructing the ghosts to have the possessed youngsters place a pumpkin—a sleep-tainted pumpkin —into the volcanic iron mountains in the Land of Iron and Anvil. When the mountains had erupted, the dark sleep spell had spewed forth over the land and into the realm.

But she was soon confronted. And with the collected efforts of the old blacksmith, Will, his robot creation, Anvil, the young girl, Tabitha, daughter of Kelsey and Sonny, the bug-like human, Tinspar, and the spirit sorceress, Aleeria, the witch’s soul had been defeated, once again—her soul put to rest, once more. She had been weakened by the combined strength of the party; vacuumed into Anvil’s iron body by a tornado-like spell from the sorcery of Aleeria, and the magic of the stone trader ghosts.

There in the confinement of the iron robot, the witch’s soul had been considered powerless and dead. For when one’s soul was contained in a body, a body of any form—as Aleeria had preached—it was considered lifeless, or, as one dead.

But as fate would have it, the story of the witchlady having been buried once again—silenced inside of a robot, in her original stone-piled grave—soon passed from land to land throughout the realm.

The story eventually made its way far into the darkest and most ancient parts of the northern realm— where some strange and brooding “others” had found it to be one of great and “special” interest…
