The Dungeon Master's Light
Now as we are here sitting in Fox Den, I'll tell you the story about the Dungeon Master.
Once, more than 100 years ago, when there was still mining going, there were no monsters in Fox Den. The Dungeon Master was a respectable, young man in Roxbury, known and liked by the villagers. His dangerous job was to enlighten the lanterns in Fox Den every morning and that way he saved many lost adventurers' lifes, because the Fox Den became mysteriously dark after sunrise.
One day the superstitious villagers told the Dungeon Master that the miners, mining the precious ore, had heard horrifying yelling from Moonless Hall, a snarl like the one beasts do. When one of the miners went to find out what causes the awful sound, he just saw two glooming, bloodred eyes in the dark Moonless Hall and they were so huge, so horrendously huge he screamed and ran off with his mates. The miners ran as fast as they could, faster, faster they hurried down the den's labyrinthine path. Suddenly one of the men heard a dreadful screech, one of the miners screams, he screamed for help, screamed in horror - but the men did not dare to turn around and help their mate.
Now they blamed the Dungeon Master he had forgotten to enlighten the Moonless Hall and so a horrifying creature had had the possibility to creep out of darkness and get one of the miners. The dutiful Dungeon Master, knowing he had enlightened the Hall, could not let these accusations rest. He decided to clear everything up and went of to the Fox Den. This night you could hear his cries, even in Roxbury if you locked your doors and shut your ears. He screamed the whole night, then the silence came. For a long time noone dared entering Fox Den. When some adventurers did some years later, the whole den was enlightened. Since then the Moonless Hall is glowing in blue light and the adventurers reported they'd seen the Dungeon Master - but it seemed he'd lost everything that was human.
Sometimes, at midnight, you can still hear him screaming and crying and cursing all villagers of Roxbury.

The Ghouls rise
The much awaited night of Halloween had finally come to the world of Florensia. Children were finally ready to go out for getting their candies and then meet to tell stories of terror. But this time, something special was going to happen.
Instead of meeting at the usual place they would meet in the abandoned cemetery in Gloshire Collapese Grave, on the outskirts of the village of Glostern, everyone was nervous but they tried to hide their fear.
The place was so calm that imposed silence. The children began to arrive and sat forming a ring around a lamp that lights only their faces. The oldest one of them, Lionel, Started to tell the legend of the cemetery:
... It is said that in this place were buried in the Halloween night the wicked pirates of Homanil Ocean and from that moment every year on Halloween their souls rise from the grave to haunt those who do not believe in them and instead make fun of them ...
But ... Who is making noises? Is there someone hiding? Said Kenny, the younger brother of Lionel
All were worried, but maybe Mark, the naughtiest one of all children had been concealed for scaring them ... Then they heard the twelve strokes of the peal of the village primary school in the distance...
Children instinctively took their hands!
The flashlight fell off and the wind began to blow! The moon looked bigger and darker!
We must return to our houses, this has ceased to be funny! Said Ash, the most scared kid of the group and then he yelled: Oh my God, what is that?
From the graves strange and distorted figures seemed to float out. They had never seen anything like that. They wanted to run but his legs were hardened by the fear they had.
An evil laugh shook the cemetery! Finally the children could react and they rushed out of that awful place!
When they were safely in their houses they promised not to tell anyone about what they saw, but from that night they never again make fun of those who told stories about the abandoned cemetery.

Avery Dungeon - An untold story
Many years ago Glostern was ruled by Lord Avery, father of our beloved Lady Avery. He was a mysterious man and his family used to live on the so-called Avery’s Big Mansion but as you may have already realised this place isn’t the most suitable place to live. Never had the curiosity to know what happened? Well, I’ll tell you what just some habitants know.
On the last floors of this mansion there is a huge laboratory where some persons were working on an experiment to increase the dark side of noble magic.
At that time, actually, the dangerous experiment that the Lord and the Noble Masquer lead together was impossible without support of the Magistri. Maegner, powerful supporter of the Magistri, was active but he did more than support. He involved to the work of the underground laboratory.
For magic experiments in the underground, Baron was appointed by Maegner as a trustworthy person to be a research manager. That man had great magic power but was pure as a boy. Everybody called him Little Baron and liked him. Among them Lady Rose, having a powerful family origin, was very close to him and people called her Little Rose.
As they researched the extracting of magic essence, they spent much money for jewellery consumption. That money was supported secretly by Lord Avery through the Magistri.
Not everyone agreed with the experiment. Divine Association started to suspect about the purpose of this laboratory and the public opinion was getting worse.
Anyway, the experiment failed and so the underground laboratory needed to be closed in a hurry to prevent the contamination to spread out, but they could not save all the Maids, polluted by the experiments and locked away in there.
However the seal was removed but no one knows who did that. Some think the force of darkness became stronger in that mysterious laboratory and they are still hanging around. Maybe that’s why if you stay quiet and silent you’ll hear sorrows and screams…

Nelia & Lady Kinavery
About 40 years ago, in the night of October 31, people say, Alice was born. Her parents, former Lord and Lady Avery, arranged a huge party to celebrate their daughter. They invited the whole inhabitants of Exeter, servants and Lords.
Among them was Nelia, a 13 year-old girl. She’d been living for one year with the Averys’ and enjoyed the life she had as their maid.
During the party, many vine was consumed, laughter and dancing in the big halls and first noone noticed when Lady Kinavery, the Lord’s cousin, took the little Alice out of her bed and took her with her down the stairs of the Avery Mansion – except for Nelia. She followed the Lady and then saw her, holding Alice at her feet, eyes wide opened with a completely mad glance in them. When she took out a small Dagger and Nelia screamed frightenedly, she screamed at her: „Get out! My nice and me want to be alone!“
When Nelia asked the Lady to give her the knife, Lady Kinavery just laughed. “You dont even know what it is like to live like this! The Mansion should have been mine, I should have been Lady Avery, my cousin should have married me and not that disgusting person enjoying my luxury! I cannot forgive him! And now his daughter has to pay for what he has done!"
She laughed stridently, Alice started to cry. Without thinking, Nelia lunged at Lady Kinavery’s hand, reaching for the knife.
Noone could tell how Nelia could reach the knife and ram it into Kinavery’s breast. Some rumors say, a ghost hand had guided her. But Lord Avery thought she had willfully murdered his cousin.
There was no trial. Nelia got executed the next morning. “You’ll see me again, I promise you!”, she screamed, her eyes had a lunatic glance.
------------------------------------------
The Florensian Chupacabras
Weird rumors are coming from Weedridge... a Guard related that some Boars, including Stink, have been found dead, entirely dry and without any blood, like if something has drunk their blood. It was like a Vampire job.
Lord Lionel immediately sent a messenger to Glostern, to ask Lady Avery if any Vampire had broke out the Mansion, however, fortunately, or unfortunately, all vampires were properly locked there.
The messenger, on his way back to Roxbury, has meet a stranger, running away from Roxbury. He was so scared and said: "I know what is going on WeedRidge, that monster has killed a lot of goats on my country... I won't stay here any longer when this monster is around... it's the so called Chupacabra, and it can even thread humans. Now I say goodbye!"
It seems that Chupacabra is resting after attacking Stink, but we will never know when it will be back threating us...

The horrendous love story of Little Baron & Little Rose
Many years ago there was a very smart and beautiful woman known as Lady Rose whose parents where very rich.
She was always with her father and so she visited all the islands and meet lots of interesting persons with amazing stories.
On one of her visits to Exeter, Lady Rose met a young man whose name was Baron.
He was shy but Rose was curious about him.
They became best friends from that moment on and an extraordinary friendship began to rise there.
Everyone used to call him Little Baron because he was a lovely person and so the once before Lady Rose became known as Little Rose.
When her parents discovered what was going on they forbidden Rose to see Baron forever. But nothing was impossible for Little Rose. She knew a secret door on a forgotten room of her house the leaded to the dark Avery’s Big Mansion.
She sent a messenger and set a date with Baron there.
It was night but not like so many others. No one of them paid attention to the date of that day: October 31. No one knows what happened then, or maybe everyone is too afraid to talk about it. We only know that their screams echoed by many days and that neither Rose nor Baron came back.
It's said that place has many blood seeking souls, be careful!

Money Priest
There was once a priest who loved gelt. He traveled from place to place in Florensia looking for gullible civilians who believed that he was able to cure anything. The priest would falsely cure the sick and collect money from these poor folks. He would then run off and disappear before anyone was able to find revenge against him as the citizens’ loved ones eventually died. As the priest’s moneybag grew bigger and bigger, the rumors had already spread throughout Florensia. On the night of October 31st, the priest’s final stop was to Roxbury. Instead of seeing a night with friendly Florensians wearing costumes and out trick-or-treating, everyone was carrying guns, rapiers, flails, pickaxes, spades, and other weapons. The priest was captured and sentenced to death. His body was left to rot at the Cardiff Abandoned Mines. After this event, rumor has said that every Halloween night, those who stays in the mines at night are able to hear the voice of the priest asking whether they want a cure or not.
Edit: here are the stories which have not been translated into English
German:
Schreie in der Stille
Tief unter der verdörten Erde von Castle Field erstreckt sich das Reich finsterer Kreaturen - Tulach. Immer wieder haben sich mutige und verwegene Abenteurer versucht, sich einen Weg durch die verzauberten Räume und dunklen Ecken zu bahnen. Keiner von ihnen wurde jemals wieder gesehen...Ihr wisst ja, der Tulach Dungeon ist voll von ihren sterblichen Resten.
Doch eines Tages schworen sich zwei Brüder, sich der Herausforderung zu stellen. Awom, der jüngere der Beiden, war ein Meister der Kampfkunst - Blitzschnell führte er den Degen, seine Feinde hörten als Letztes nur noch das Surren der todbringenden Klinge. Esah, sein Bruder, war ein weißer Magier - Schon alt und grau geworden verstand er es immer noch, magische Geister zu seiner Hilfe herbei zurufen oder Feinde mit Flüchen zu belegen.
Die beiden leidenschaftlichen Abenteurer bahnten sich ihren Weg durch die erste Ebene. In der Nähe der Imps begegnete ihnen eine junge Frau, bildhübsch, aber gerade in einem aussichtslosen Kampf gegen eine todbringende Überzahl. Beherzt griffen die beiden Brüder ein und ergänzten sich wieder einmal perfekt: Während Awom sich dem Gefecht stelle und mit seinem Degen nicht nur die Luft zerschnitt, heilte Esah die vergiftete und schwer verletzte junge Frau. Ihr Name war Brenin.
Nachdem sie sich überschwänglich bedankt hatte und den beiden tapferen Brüdern nun ihr Leben schuldete, verriet sie ihnen ein Gerücht, das schon seit Jahrhunderten in ihrem Dorf kursiert:
Am Ende der Gänge und Tunnel von Tulach befinde sich eine Truhe, die dem Finder unglaublichen Ruhm, aber auch unbeschreibliche Schmerzen bringen wird. Doch was genau damit gemeint war, wusste niemand...
Bewaffnet mit zwei Säbeln schloss sich die bezaubernde Brenin den beiden Brüdern an und schon folgten weitere harte Kämpfe. In der dritten Ebene war das Durchkommen nahezu unmöglich - sogar zu dritt waren sie schnell erschöpft und mussten immer mehr Pausen einlegen. Das Dämmerlicht schmerzte in den Augen und die Lust schien seit Jahrhunderten zu stehen...
Nach Wochen erreichten sie endlich die Hall of Fear - Der letzte Raum Tulachs. Hier gab es weder Monster noch Fallen. Der Raum war komplett leer - bis auf eine kleine Truhe in der Mitte...
Zögernd standen die drei vor der Truhe. Es herrschte absolute Stille. Sie konnten das Böse, das in der Truhe lauerte, förmlich spüren. Einvernehmlich beschlossen sie, die Truhe vorerst verschlossen zu lassen und hier ihr Quartier vor der beschwerlichen Heimreise aufzuschlagen.
Gerade als die beiden Brüder sich zum Schlafen wandten, ging Brenin zielstrebig auf die Truhe zu. Gelockt vom Versprechen des ewigen Ruhms und im Bann der Macht des Bösen öffnete sie die Truhe...
...Gleißendes Licht strömte ihr entgegen - so hell, dass ihre Augen und Haare verbrannten. Ihr Körper wuchs und wuchs, Schuppen bildeten sich und ein Schwanz formte sich aus ihren Füßen. Sie war zu einer Schlange geworden!
Erschrocken von dem Anblick stürmten die beiden Brüder aus dem Raum - sie versuchten es zumindest...
Als zwei leblose Körper vor ihr lagen, zuckte noch einmal das zu Eisen gewordene Herz von Brenin. Es waren ihre Freunde, sie verdankte ihnen ihr Leben und nun waren sie tot. Sie hatte sie getötet. Doch sie konnte nicht anders...
Eine kleine Träne kullerte über die Schuppen, tropfte auf den kalten Steinboden und ein Bach begann in der Mitte des Raums zu fließen und spülte die Körper ihrer Freunde hinweg.
Denkt nächstes Mal an die beiden Brüder und vielleicht seht ihr auch die schöne, junge Frau, Brenin, wenn ihr euch nach Tulach aufmacht

Das steinerne Ei
Die Sonne stand schon tief, als ein zehnjähriger Junge nach dem Abendessen über die Wiesen der Rainbow Highlands schlenderte. In Gedanken versunken achtete er dabei nicht auf den Weg und betrat einen dunklen, schmalen Pfad, vor dem seine Eltern und alle Bewohner im Dorf ihn immer gewarnt hatten. Doch das interessierte den jungen Serbetus nicht. Die Dorfbewohner, immer in Sorge und Furcht, hielt er lediglich für schwache Gestalten, unfähig, sich Abenteuern zu stellen. Denn das war es, was er wollte: Reisen in ferne Länder unternehmen, neue Länder und Welten entdecken und Furcht erregende Kreaturen bezwingen. Doch stattdessen ging er zur Schule und langweilte sich hier im alten Chester. Da wollte er wenigstens einmal sehen, was es mit diesem ominösen Weg auf sich hat.
Steil und verwinkelte führte dieser hoch auf den Berg hinauf und die Vegetation nahm immer weiter ab. Nun sah er außer dem schroffen Fels lediglich hie und da ein paar letzte Flechten den dunklen Stein beflecken. Auch das Gezwitscher der Vögel war verstummt - eine unheimliche Stille lag auf diesem Teil des Landes...
Neben einer Felsspalte funkelte es. Erstaunt blieb Serbetus stehen und entdeckte ein faustgroßes, steinernes Ei. Die Schale, wenn man es so nennen will, leutete blutrot in der Abendsonne. Trotzdem war die Oberfläche des Eies hart wie der Fels um ihn herum. Interessiert steckte er das Ei in die Hosentasche und machte sich auf den Heimweg...
KRSCH....
Ein Knacken riss ihn unsanft aus seinen Träumen von Magnel. Im Flimmern des Nachtlichts sah er einen Sprung in der Schale des steinernen Eies. Eine kleine grüne Schnauze ragte heraus und brummte mit tiefer Stimme. Ob es was zu essen wollte? Egal...Aber was war das nur für eine Kreatur? Kein Hund und keine Katze auf jeden Fall, soviel wusste er! Aber wem konnte er es zeigen? Besser keinem...!
Noch vor der Schule packte er das kleine Wesen in seine Tasche und rannte erneut den dunklen Pfad entlang. Die Schatten tanzten im Licht der Sonne, doch Serbetus war mulmig zu Mute. Was hatte er da nur aufgesammelt? Noch sah es ja ganz süß und niedlich aus, aber später...
Endlich hatte er die Stelle erreicht, an der er das kleine Ei gefunden hatte. Als er die kleine Kreatur, die er ganz selbstlos nach sich getauft hatte, aus seiner Tasche ziehen wollte, verspürte er einen Brennen im Finger...Blut tropfte von der Bisswunde am Zeigefinger.
Voller Wut schleuderte er die kleine Kreatur mit aller Wucht gegen einen Felsen. Das letzte, was er sah, bevor er weglief, war das Lodern des Hasses in den Augen des kleines Tieres...
Vier Jahre sind vergangen und Serbetus hatte den Vorfall längst vergessen. Eines Nachts wurde er durch Schreie der Dorfbewohner geweckt. Zusammen mit seiner Familie stürmte er nach draußen und sah die Silhouette eines riesigen Drachen im Lodern der Fackeln. Die Erde bebte unter unter den Schritten des Monsters, gleichsam als wenn auch sie zittern würde. Panisch versuchten die Dorfbewohner, sich in letzter Minute in Sicherheit zu bringen...leider scheiterten sie...
Das letzte, was Serbetus erkannte, bevor eine Mauer aus Flammen auf ihn zu kam, war das gleiche hasserfüllte Lodern in den Augen, das er schon einmal gesehen hatte...

Halloween temptation
La isla más dulce del mundo de Florensia encierra un oscuro y peligroso pasado
Hace ya mucho mucho tiempo, mucho antes de la existencia de la noble ciudad de Roxbury, los habitantes de Cardiff convivían en paz y armonía con las criaturas mágicas de la zona, los Trents poblaban los bosques llenos de zorros, jabalíes y Lizards, las Mudfrog se secaban al sol y las Fragys vivían felices en los pantanos y lagos con los Boarhead.
Lanoir y su ejército habían servido de aliado a los habitantes de la población en guerras letales contra crueles enemigos que amenazaban la paz del lugar tiempo atrás por ello los aldeanos construyeron un templo en su honor en el punto más mágico de la isla, una cueva conocida hoy en día como Fox Den
Y en Moonless Hall, el nexo de tal mágico lugar Lanoir velaba por la seguridad de Cardiff y protegía Fox Den de cualquier malintencionado.
Una mañana de otoño, día de Halloween, un escalofriante barco apareció anclado en el puerto y al anochecer, de él bajo un hombre con el rostro cubierto por una densa túnica negra que arrastraba por el terreno. El hombre pidió alojamiento por una noche. En el pueblo reinaba el espíritu festivo y los confiados aldeanos le acogieron.
Al caer la media noche una niebla muy espesa cubría Roxbury, augurio de algo que algo oscuro iba a ocurrir.
La fiesta había comenzado, la gente salía de sus casas a visitar a los amigos, otros a pedir dulces típicos y otros se aventuraban a pasear por el bosque y como en aquella isla ya nunca pasaba nada preocupante nadie sospechaba que la historia de su hogar cambiaria para siempre...
Nuestro hombre misterioso se adentró a las profundidades de Larksdowns , fue cuando entonces un grupo de Saints vio al hombre cerca de parecía desesperado por encontrar algo o dar con algo y alertaron a algunos vecinos que decidieron ir a investigar.
Hacía ya muchos siglos que nadie había vuelto a pisar el suelo de Fox Den y se distinguían señales en el suelo de que alguien había entrado allí esa noche.
Los magos, exploradores, mercenarios y santos más veteranos de la isla emprendieron el camino siguiendo las huellas en el suelo, hasta que llegaron a Moonless Hall…
Al pie del altar de Moonles Hall se hallaba de espaldas el hombre de la túnica negra, que esta vez no cubría su rostro.
Sostenía un fino y elegante rapier en su mano derecha y al ver el rostro del misterioso hombre le reconocieron como Master, el Magic Knight más poderoso de aquella época cuya sed de poder le llevaría diezmar aquella isla y arrastrarla con él.
Master había preparado un ritual trampa para Lanoir y sin que los aldeanos pudieran evitarlo, Master convirtió a Lanoir en su aliado usando un poder y magia desconocidos entonces.
Master se hizo con el control de Lanoir y a su vez con el control de todas las criaturas de la isla haciendo que desterrasen a los habitantes a un pequeño lugar donde más tarde se fundaría Roxbury y toda su historia posterior. Y es por eso que hoy en dia en Roxbury muchas criaturas atacan a los aventureros que pasan cerca.
Con el paso del tiempo muchas criaturas volvieron a ser pacificas como los Boards o algunos Devil Walker, muchos exploradores aseguran averse encontrado cara a cara con El temido Dungeon Master y su aliado Lanoir... Pero claro esto son leyendas como las que te contaran Kyra o Ash en Roxbury, lo que si es seguro es que Cardiff Island cambió para siempre… para averiguar la verdad tendrás que investigar tu por aquí.
