Story of Map: During 2567BC, the Kingdom of Hammerdoom was
              attacked by the Barbaric Hordes from the north.
              The Barbaric Hordes and the Kingdom of Hammerdoom
              are long, old archenemies and the battles are bloody
              and merciless.  The war waged on for years and the
              Kingdom of Hammerdoom of almost wiped out. It is now
              2554BC, 13 years since the war began. You are a boy
              born to a poor peasant family. Your parents are
              mutilated in front of your own eyes by the invading
              orcs and you have escaped only by hiding under a table
              during one of the attacks. A soldier from the ranks of
              the Armies of Hammerdoom later saved you. You are
              raised under strict discipline and quickly grew to
              master the art of war. Now it is time for you
              to extract revenge for your parents and country...
		  
		  After your triumph at the Orange Wastelands, the king
		  was delighted. The troops of Hammerdoom launched a swift
		  counter-attack on the Barbaric Hordes and won many
		  battles. Now both sides are preparing for the next
		  round of battles at the Meadow Plains. One day, the king
		  came to see you personally. You are astonished and 
		  think that the king would have some very important news
		  for you to come personally. He tells you of a dream that
		  he had last night. It was about an artifact of immense
		  power. He recalls that when he was young, the late king
		  told him that in the Swamplands of Hammerdoom,
		  the artifact is buried, It is believed that any side that
		  possess the artifact would have ultimate power and
		  control of most of the people of Hammerdoom. The artifact
		  was believed to be forged by the gods of Hammerdoom during
		  the creation of the world. The king can only remember that
		  the artifact is buried somewhere around the Stink Lake in
		  Swamplands of Hammerdoom. He asks if you could accept the
		  task of sneaking into the Swamplands which are controlled
		  by the Barbaric Hordes now and retrieving the artifact.
		  Knowing the fact the road to the Swamplands would be
		  hard and trying you still accepted the quest in good
		  grace and the king's trust.
