Necrom, frightened of the strength of the queen's people, launches an attack. It turns into a massacre. Ai'sha, Zz'ria and thousands more perish. Sat'neen and hundreds more are captured. Initially alone, Kylun gathers an army and frees Sat'neen from the forces that planned to sacrifice her. Despite his lowly origins and lack of genuine super-powers, Kylun becomes this world's greatest hero. He leads the army for years, finally defeating Necrom's forces and forcing Necrom to retreat towards the Tower That Crosses Time (Excalibur's lighthouse).
