It looks as if this is one
half of the book
but,nonetheless there are
obviously a few pages of
this half missing...:
     
"...  until at last a group,
a bond of brave Champions
had gathered itself:  A
Brave, a Champion of every
good-willed race...

Faerghail's best were
elected..  Each one for his
race:

A Barbarian warrior from the
North, a Magician from the
Middlelands, a Trailhunter
from the Southerly Forests,
a Forest keeper was sent by
the Ents, a Werbear was sent
by the Moon peoples, a
Halfling Thief, an Elf
Warrior, and even the Monks
of the Order of Almagos sent
their champion (although
this race defies
definition.)...

This group of champions took
on the army of Darkness and,
although practically
impossible, overthrew them
and the Lord of Darkness -
Balaan.  Balaan was thrown
into another dimension, and
his ally, the Dragon King
Istrildiar was finally
hunted down...

he surviving champions
decided on dungeoning the
dragon, imprisoning the
dragon forever in a cave
never to be opened by human
hand...

And so it was...  The
victors built and forged
Istrildiar a cave and grave
never to be found or
opened...

In case of this story being
true,- it's at least a
thousand years old and
no-one knows what's become
of those old Heroes.

But if they have not died,
they're still alive today!"
