The kingdom of Valusia was built on the ruins of Acheron, and Valka left a single flame of Acheron there to burn for eternity as reminder of godless times.What appears at first to be a great battle soon resolves itself into Kulls entrance exam for admission into the king of Valusias elite Dragon Legion. Kull fails to gain entry, however, after telling General Taligaro that he is from Atlantis, i.e., not of noble blood. While they speak, a messenger from the palace reports that the king has gone mad and is slaughtering his heirs. ........
