To become Dark Lord is no easy thing. The simple ambition to hold dominion around the world and bend all to your will sounds straightforward, but it isn’t. You can find armies to improve, fortresses to create, heroes to defeat, and battles to be fought.

After many spectacular failures, Evil decided to lend more than inspiration to these would-be tyrants. He composed an easy-to-follow Dark Lord’s Handbook. And yet another Dark Lord that came along screwed up like all of the others.

It had been hundreds of years, as well as the Handbook was shed in the annals of your time, along with all that was mythic and exciting in the world. Then one day, a randy dragon acquired a possibility encounter. Nine weeks afterwards a Dark Lord was created. In time, the Handbook found its way to this new contender: Morden.
