This is the "story" that I wrote on the airplane on my way to Dallas. :) I had the entire story in my mind as I was building the map, but putting ideas to actual words is tougher than it seemed at first. :( Anyways, it gives you pretty good clues as to *why* you are there, and *what* you need to do when in there. The story is based around a prophecy, describing the actions that you take. You have traveled back in time, and must retrieve the hammer, because it will do something good. (What it actually does you can imagine for yourself... haha) When the map starts, you have been captured by the people of that time, and the king is walking back to his throne from watching you be tossed into a pit. "A man shall come among us. Leaping through mouths of fire and light, his destruction of our very security will begin with a rise from his own blood. Striking a blow to the our very heart, diving where none should be, and riding chariots of courage... he will descend into the bowels of flesh only to rise once more. He will evade death with the speed of lightning. The hands of the gods will guide him across a path of stars, and through the attacks of hell itself. Both guardians will lie in their own blood, and wielding the hammer that sustains our life force, he shall wink out of existence through a sky in the walls."
