He then sewed the opening shut such that naught but her head protruded. The King of the White Dragon killed his own wife by slaying a bull, slitting open the carcass, and placing her, tied securely, into the opening. He showed mercy on the victim by killing him only five hours later by opening numerous small wounds on his person and letting him bleed to death. One by one the limbs became useless strands of dead flesh. He restrained a noble, a guest at the great banquet, upon the torture table and applied tourniquets to each of his limbs. After boiling the flesh from a family of farmers, His Majesty became inspired. By his own hands, His Majesty turned the man to a babbling wretch over the course of twelve hours. His Majesty began with a commoner named Patric, stretching him on the rack. I have been given the privilege of chronicling the King's romp through madness. Eventually, the hero navigated a gauntlet of traps set by the banes and recaptured the chaotic spirits within the blade of the Black Sword after a fierce battle. It is likely that the Avatar slew him in this form, although it is not known if such an act was capable of bringing the spirit to peace. The ghost of the king manifested, offering to bring the hero to salvation in the realm of the dead and transforming into the beast of his namesake. The king, satisfied with his grim work, flung himself from the castle's tower thereafter.Ĭenturies later, when the Avatar's Companions became possessed by the Banes of Chaos, the hero returned to the castle where they had taken refuge in the ill-omened keep.
Once the guests were inside the keep, they were slaughtered to the last man. In his final days, he invited the whole of his kingdom to join with him in a celebration of the Solstice Festival. Paranoid regarding the incursions of the goblin hordes, the ruler sought to "save" his people by taking them into the realm of death. The King of the White Dragon, insane with grief for his lost daughter and rage at Shamino, became the instigator of unspeakable crimes. Shamino, who had previously been abroad in the Lands of Lord British likely found the journey home an impossible undertaking in light of such cataclysmic events, and Beatrix, thinking her betrothed had abandoned her, fell sick and died of heart break.
During this era, the imprisoned Princess Lori could be found within the environs of the castle, and the Stranger had the option of securing her rescue – although such an undertaking brought down the ire of guards and court upon the hero.Īfter the death of Mondain, the Lands of Danger and Despair became separated from the other major continents of Sosaria, forming into a world in its own right which would later come to be known as the Serpent Isle. During the Stranger's quest to defeat Mondain, the hero could consult with the lord of this keep, who would offer the adventurer a boon of strength if searching for knowledge of the Tower of Knowledge. The Castle of the White Dragon was home to the King of the White Dragon, who ruled in tandem over the realm with Shamino Sallé Dacil, a former woodsman who had won the affections and hand in marriage of the King of the White Dragon's daughter, Beatrix.
