Creation[]
Background[]
“ The Demon is upon us!
The storm clouds of war gather over the magical land of Amarillia. An unknown power of dark realm draws unto itself dragons, undead horrors, and other monstrous allies to destroy the glories of royal Castle Argent and attack the citadel of Sanctuary.
Accross the lands of men, elves, and the proud centaurs of Barrabang, a swathe of destruction cuts towards the hearth of the beauty and glory of Amarillia.
Firestorm is the first tale in the epic Zagor Chronicles series, foreshadowing the coming of that dreader necromancer to the fabled world of Amarillia.[1]”
