New Order Wisdom
Grand Master, you are about to embark upon a difficult and vital mission. Seventeen years have passed since you banished Autarch Sejanoz and saved Khea-khan Xo-lin from a certain death at the hands of the Bhanarians. The land of Chai is now ruled by Xo-lin’s grandson, Lao Tin. You are fated to return to this distant land and retrieve the Eye of Agarash from the Khea-khan’s throne in the Imperial Palace of Pensei. You once saved his grandfather’s life; now the young Khea-khan is indebted to you, and he will willingly allow you to take possession of this accursed stone. As soon as it is in your possession, you must return with it at once to the Kai Monastery of Lorn.
During your mission you may encounter many hostile and wily adversaries. Your journey back from Pensei will be fraught with danger at every turn, so remain on your guard at all times.
Some of the material items that you find will be of use to you, but others may be red herrings of no real value at all. If you discover items during your mission, be selective in what you choose to keep. Pick your initial five Grand Master Disciplines with care for a wise choice will enable anyone to complete the quest, no matter how weak their initial COMBAT SKILL and ENDURANCE scores may be. Completion of previous Lone Wolf adventures (Books 1–28) may be advantageous, but it is not essential for the successful completion of this New Order adventure.
May the Gods Kai and Ishir guide and protect you during your vital mission.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!
