Revision as of 13:14, 6 June 2007
The Deathlord of Ixia was the seventeenth book of the Lone Wolf book series, written by Joe Dever and illustrated by Brian Williams.
Plot
The Deathstaff, created by the Dark God Naar, was sent through a Shadow Gate to regions unknown, preventing the ghost of Darklord Vashna and his army from returning to life and destroying Sommerlund. This being done, Lone Wolf returned to the Kai Monastery, where he was soon visited by his friend, the Old Kingdom magician Lord Rimoah. He was then told about the Deathlord of Ixia, who was a lieutenant to Agarash the Damned during the Age of Eternal Night. In the wake of Agarash's fall, the Old Kingdom magicians sealed him in a magical prison in Ixia, and so feared was his revival that even the Darklords, having conquered the area surrounding Ixia, did not enter in for fear of awakening him, and being subordinated to him. Somehow, the Deathstaff was transported to Ixia, and its power was used by the Deathlord's followers to break him free of his prison, and he began to prepare an undead invasion fleet to take over the world, with an army that became bigger with every battle it fought.
Lone Wolf ventures from the human country of Lencia with a ship full of sailors to get him there safely, but on the way they are attacked by the growing skeleton army of Ixia, and all are killed and turned into skeletons. Lone Wolf travels alone into the frozen and desolate city of Xaagon, the region's capitol. There he finds bustling activity as the undead prepare for their invasion of all Magnamund. Lone Wolf slowly makes his way to the Deathlord's chamber. Along the way, he encounters the Demonlord Tagazin, who he had fought on previous occasions, and destroyed him in combat. Following this, he is transported to the Deathlord's chambers and fights him to the death. Following the Deathlord's defeat, Lone Wolf scrambles to escape the city, as the ravages of time that were held off for thousands of years descend upon the city. Looking back from a distance, he sees the city in ruins, and for the first time in 10,000 years the sun breaks through the clouds over the land of Ixia.
Reception
This game is notable for the very elaborate plot and the extremely difficult combat skill of the Deathlord, making him one of the most difficult opponents in the entire series.
