Rhodes Island. The island of Rhodes is home to a number of terrifying places, including the Forest of No Return, the Desert of Wind and Fire, the Island of Darkness, and the Wriggling Underground Labyrinth. Behind the dark emperor Beld of Marmo, the Island of Darkness, who plans to rule Rhodes, lies the dark plot of Kara, a witch with powerful powers. Pern, a swordsman living in the remote village of Zaxon, dreams of becoming a hero and sets off on a journey with his best friend Et, a priest, Gim, a strong Dwarf warrior, and Slaine, a sorcerer. The group is soon joined by the elf Diedrit, the thief Wood Chuck, and others. In the midst of war, their adventurous journey, in which they aspire to be heroes, is beset with various trials, including battles with dragons and monsters.
