The Hero of Island of the Undead was a fisherman from a small town on the coast of the Strait of Knives. Although he longed for a life of adventure, he supported his family by fishing with his father and brothers until a series of freak storms led to a number of deaths. The hero joined an expedition to Solani Island, where elemental wizards lived, but another storm left him as the only survivor.[1]
There, he discovered that most of the wizards were dead and a Dire Spectre had possessed the Master of Fire.[2] Eventually, he defeated the Dire Spectre in a dungeon deep beneath the wizards' tower and was confident of his ability to escape and return home. He found a treasure chest which may have contained gold, magical artefacts or something else entirely.[3]
Although everyone who set out for Solani "took a weapon and strapped on leather armour"[4] the hero began the adventure armed only with a knife, leather jerkin and fisherman's clothes which were "as good as leather armour" and suffered a penalty in combat until he found a shield.[5]
This is clearly the first adventure the hero had. It is possible that he took part in other books after this one.
