The Legend of Neef Island

Quest Book
Adaptation of the 1991 Japanese Edition
Requires HeroQuest Game System to play
 Introduction
For a long time, the world has been at peace. The dark forces that once threatened people have been forgotten. But the forces of
darkness have not completely died out. Now, the forces of darkness are on the move again. It's not too late to help...
My friends, I hope you are well-rested from your last adventures, for it seems you have quite the journey ahead of you. I have learned
from the Loretome that all is not well in the lands to the far east. In ages long past this archipelago was once besot by one of the Dread
Gods, known as Grimdead in some lands. He was the cause of many evils and much destruction. Though invulnerable to most anything,
Grimdead was defeated and buried by a legendary band of four heroes, whose names have been lost to time.
Alas, after an era of peace, a new evil has begun haunting that land, the forces of Zargon have begun teeming in those islands.
And that is not the worst of it, they seem to be working with Grimdead to resurrect the dead Dread God.
I needn’t tell you that should this unholy plan succeed it would be not only the eastern empire laid to waste under his hands,
but likely our entire world. Such would be the wrath of an avenging god! And while he might have been defeated
in that era long past, the secret to his defeat has been lost to time’s dust.
I ask that you journey to the far east and that at all costs you prevent Zargon
from resurrecting the Dread God. Sail first to Neef Island, the lord
there will welcome you in friendship
and set you on the right path.
Good luck, my friends. And remember,
when you need guidance,
listen deep
within
yourselves.

End of Campaign
The heroes have finally driven away the powers of
darkness.

As they leave the castle, they see the morning sun

has begun to rise in the sky to the East. The frozen
sea has also begun to melt.
Now that Grimdead the Dread God has been
defeated, this castle will no longer be known as
Dread Castle.
From today on, it will become a symbol of justice.
So that the powers of darkness will never come
back, the heroes decided to name the castle as
Peace Castle.
Everyone praised the heroes bravery, and built
statues of them back on Neef Island.
The story of the four heroes will be passed down,
and is certain to become a legend upon Neef Island.
Since that day, nobody has ever seen Grimdead
again.
Yet he was a man who controlled so much dread
power. Perhaps he is proceeding with a new plan
for world domination somewhere else.
But no matter what powers of darkness attempt to
take over the world, without fail, new heroes will
appear to save the world. Just like the heroes in a
certain legend…
