Scenario 1: Overture

Story Text

This is the true story of Delfador the Great from his humble beginnings; the tale of how he became the most famous and powerful of all the mages of Wesnoth.

It begins on the Isle of Alduin, at the Academy which trains mages from throughout the Great Continent.

After ten years of training, two tests stand between that apprentice and attainment of the degree of Mage:

The New Mage Ceremony

and

The Name Journey

Introductory Dialogue

Narrator: Academy of Magic, Isle of Alduin.

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

Marshal: Come, O aspirant. The Oracles await you.

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

First Oracle: The time of peace is passing. Chaos is rising; evil is rooted in the land's very heart. Darkness is coming soon. The world will be changed. And you will be among the champions of our brotherhood of mages. I give you the first syllable of power, the beginning of your name: DEL

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

Second Oracle: You will not be least among those champions. Nay; you will be called 'The Great' before your days are through. I give you the second syllable of power, the second part of your name: FA

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

Third Oracle: Yes. Peace is broken, but hope is not extinguished. There is always hope. And you will be the father of it. I call the power of the Bright Gods into the second part of your name. FA

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

Fourth Oracle: After the battle, peace. After the darkness, dawn. From death springs new life. I give you the last part of your name, the final syllable of power. DOR

Narrator (lit brazier): ...thorum restro targa thorum...

Marshal: DELFADOR, open your eyes. And open them again!

Delfador: . .

Delfador: o o

Delfador: O O

Delfador: The light fills me!

First Oracle: It is well.

Second Oracle: It is well.

Third Oracle: It is well.

Fourth Oracle: It is well.

Marshal: Now, go forth!

Marshal: Your name journey begins. Methor will lead you from this place.

Methor: But I will not see you to its end, for that is yours alone.

Methor: Dangers and trials await us. When you have truly claimed the name you have been given, I will depart.

Delfador: I am ready.

Scenario 2: This Valley Belongs To Me

Story Text

Delfador's wandering time with Methor took them to many strange places, both within and beyond the lands of men. They studied and practiced, applying magecraft to aid those they traveled among and to deepen their understanding of the hidden currents and powers of the world.

But the elder mage's health was taxed by the rigors of the journey. A year after the two left Alduin, Methor settled in a tranquil valley at the edge of the Dulatus Hills, not far southeast of the capitol at Weldyn. He opened a small school of his own, and with Delfador assisting him he began training a handful of youths who might in time be worthy to enter the great Academy on Alduin.

Introductory Dialogue

Methor: Delfador, your time as my apprentice is now almost over. You are a fully-trained mage, and may choose your own path in life. I hope, however, that you will take my advice, and enroll yourself in the service of King Garard. I have many contacts at the court and...

Grogor-Tuk: Listen, humans! This valley belongs to me now. I require all your houses and your possessions! Hand them over quietly and I may permit you to live on as my slaves...

Methor: Arrogant creature! We have little enough, and we will not suffer you to take it from us by force.

Grogor-Tuk: That's where you are wrong, puny mage. War is coming, humans... War! Take their villages, and spare no-one!

Wolf Rider Captures Village: First Time

Capturing Unit: Grooar! Burn! Burn! Ahahaha...

Methor Dies

Delfador: No! Methor... Don't die!

Methor: Heed my last words, Delfador! Journey northeast to Weldyn, and seek out my friend Leollyn. He will help you.

Victory

Methor Is Alive

Methor: Well done, Delfador! I see I have trained you well, and you are truly ready to seek your fortune. My traveling days are done, but it is time for you to journey northeast to Weldyn, and seek out my friend Leollyn. He will help you.

Methor Is Dead

Delfador: I will grieve for master Methor... I must take his advice and seek out Leollyn.

Dialogue Continues

Delfador: And it is no good news I will bring him. Orcs, so far south and so near the capital? This is a dire sign; things are gravely amiss in Wesnoth.

Scenario 3: Road To Weldyn

Introductory Dialogue

Narrator: Delfador followed Methor's advice, and headed over the hills towards Weldyn. But the roads were more dangerous than he had expected...

Derrin: Beware, stranger! I come to warn you - a party of orcs have moved into the Great Valley to the north, and have been raiding the lands around. If you press on westward, you will have to fight them.

Delfador: I cannot turn back now... If I fight these orcs, will your villagers help me?

Derrin: You see me armed for war because we were mustering to aid our kin. We can help each other - and you'll not be sorry to fight beside us, for this region trains the best bowmen in Wesnoth.

First Bowman Attack

Attacking Unit: Take this, you slimy invader!

Turn 4

"Bowman Advisor": Beware! Night is falling - that's when the orcs tend to attack!

Victory

Note: Bowman Advisor is a role. In the unlikely event that the player manages to win and at that moment also not have any bowmen, this dialogue would be broken.

"Bowman Advisor": Thank you, Delfador, for helping to rid our land of those pestilent orcs. Your magic was more help than we looked for, and we are in your debt.

Delfador: You are welcome...but I am wondering what orcs were doing so deep inside the borders of Wesnoth.

"Bowman Advisor": Perhaps some of our lads had better go with you as far as Weldyn. These lands are not safe for a lone traveler, and we may learn what drew the orcs so far south.

Scenario 4: Leollyn

Introductory Dialogue

Delfador: Methor told me that I could find Leollyn in his tower in the Royal Forest outside the city. It should be near here...

Hagha-Tan: Ah, another human is approaching... yes... more meat for my war-band...

Leollyn: Hail, strangers to the west! I crave your aid; hurry, for we are sorely besieged!

Delfador: Well met, Leollyn! My friends and I will roust this barbarian for you. We're getting used to such work by now - I did not expect to have so much trouble getting here!

Leollyn: Then you have not heard... but there will be time enough for talking. If you can distract those vile creatures, I will try to organize a counterattack.

Leollyn Dies

Delfador: Leollyn is slain! This is terrible... I had best give up and return home.

First Orcish Assassin Attack

Hagha-Tan: Yes... yes... slay them, my assassins!

Attacked Unit: Uh oh... I don't like the look of this...

First Orcish Assassin Death

Delfador: Their blood sheds as readily as any man's.

Leollyn: You are a brave fighter, young friend.

First Orcish Assassin/Slayer Kill

Leollyn: I've told you, all of you have to be extra careful!

Delfador: Kill them all! For our murdered friends.

Victory

Leollyn: Well now, you arrived just in the nick of time. A fellow mage, too, I see. Now what did you say your name was?

Methor Lived

Delfador: Delfador, sir. Actually, I came seeking you - you see, I was a student of Methor's. He said that you might find me employment in Weldyn.

Leollyn: Ah, one of Methor's, eh? Good, good... Well, young Garard certainly needs all the hands he can muster right now. Especially those who know their magic!

Methor Died

Delfador: Delfador, sir. But I bring you ill news... Methor, my teacher, is dead.

Leollyn: That is ill news indeed... these are dark times. I think you had best return with me to Weldyn. Garard too, must hear your news.

Dialogue Continues

Delfador: Is that Garard, King of Wesnoth, you refer to?!

Leollyn: Of course - do you know any other kings by that name? I was one of his father's most trusted advisors until he passed away earlier this year, and I still have the son's ear, though being young he listens perhaps less well than he should.
