"My name is Bloise a former wizard I am the keeper of the realms of magic. I want to tell you the fable of a boy called Robin. A long time ago he was living in this very hamlet in the kingdom of Rincewind. King Roysten the ruler of Rincewind and his Fiance Marilin were celebrating their wedding but then a man riding a dragon, wielding magic struck his betrothed down with a bolt of lightning. King Roysten after this vowed to find the last of the magicians in the world, all of which were presumed extinct and finally snuff out the flame that is magic once and for all. This is where our story begins."
