The Latirium Crystal

Hidden away in the woods at the foot of the Eastern Mountains is the Latirium Crystal, a long forgotten artifact that has kept Eram safe for a millennium. Only Ragmire and Ilithera, the protectors of the crystal know of its existence. This wizard and elf have kept themselves cut off from the rest of the world to ensure the safety of the precious crystal.

But their watch has been quiet for so long that their vigilance wanes. Over time they develop a friendship with a young man named Simon and give him a magical amulet, which he promises to keep hidden. But when a wild boar endangers the lord's son, Simon uses the amulet to save him. As a reward Simon is made a page in the castle. But as events unfold around him, it appears that someone is orchestrating a plot that could endanger the whole of Eram.
