iNtrOduCtiON

In an ancient time and place, magic permeates the land and

monsters stalk the shadows that gather al ong the edges o civi-

lization. In this age o dungeons and dragons, the world needs

Heroes. Encased in varied types o armor and armed with

swords, bows, staves, and spells, these Heroes explore ancient

ruins, take on daring quests, and c hallenge the most earsome

monsters. One such quest takes Heroes to a dark and mysteri-

ous place called Castle Ravenlot.
