An evilly enchanted scroll is sent to his king, through him, and he finds out that it was meant to harm him. Anthony sets off to warn the king...perhaps his ambition is too much? (Macbeth anyone?) Karim ¯¯¯¯¯ 565 Ano Domini Persia Karim is a brash young man of noble heritage trained in the arts of the sword. He spends his time seeking adventure and the hand of many a lady. His heart has been won by a mysterious woman named Chandra, and his life is thrust into a new perspective. He wishes to marry her, but Chandra has other ideas.

Maximillian Roivas ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1760 Ano Domini Rhode Island, USA Maximillian, a learned medical doctor, lectures at many universities within the United States.

His wife passed on years ago, after fighting consumption for many years. His three children, themselves now adults, visit him from time to time. More often than not, though, he remains alone in the family estate, left to his own devices.
