Here is a much needed new plot line for Wolf’s Bard, Check out the old one and tell me if you think this is any improvement. I think it is.

SPOILER AHEAD!

Sword contest

Learn to fight in Kernow’s prestigious Sword Contest. Win and you will receive an ancient magical blade. Lose and, well… die.

Escape!

The High King has banished you; break your way to freedom and cross the border into the mystical land named Lidiness.

Finding Arlok

Now that you understand what it means to be an outcast, you can pity those who are so of a greater degree; meet the vulnerable bard, Arlok. Arlok is the sole being alive who knows the secret spell of how to restore the invincible Sky Fortress to its former glory; a power unheard of. Rescue him from his brutal tormentor Sleen and… Run slap-bang into pitiless Clu’rcaen-Elves.

Yvlo

Taken against your will into the fantastical underground metropolis of Yvlo, you meet evil dictator Amddawll, the confusing Ludd, the feathered Ymlot, gray haired Ra and last but not least, the cool punk Lurff.

Ymlot’s Tricks

Ymlot, the feathered elf, is going to take Arlok to “Some relatives up north” to “Get him away from Amddawl” you have only one option; fight the demanding Ymlot and Ra will help you escape with Arlok and Shaun to the kilted Albannok.

The Albannok

Meet the Albannok; seventy barbaric Scots who will make you their chief. Hawa! Guess who shows up? Demon-possessed Og! Fight Og and turn him back into Oengus. Just when everything is going your way Arlok is taken away by a magical windstorm that you are helpless to stop.

The Sky Fortress

Once you have recovered from the shock, Oengus tells you that Arlok is in the hands of Ymlot’s father, Lord Nudd who is strangly connected with Sleen, the horned sorcerer that is hungry to bring back the invincible Sky Fortress. Track prince Ymlot down and enter the portal of the sun.

Caer Sidhe

Now you are in real trouble! You find yourself in the center of a vast ruinous castle identical to the Sky Fortress, but in a different place. Your job right now is to find Arlok before Nudd, or Sleen find out the fatal words and take over the world.

The Task at Hand

Oengus has mysteriously disappeared and now that you have rescued Arlok from his subterranean cell you must get everyone out without alerting the elf-guards. Making your way up, you find yourself yet again in the octagonal Sun Portal room… You are not alone. Who springs from the shadows but Nudd and Sleen. Who will win in this epic contest between hero and monster?

Man I’ve just GOT to give an explanation of the last cutscene even if it’s not a level, Here goes:

Epilogue

Finally the battle is over. Sleen is dead and Nudd is chained in his own fortress. Just as you are igniting the portal Arlok leaps through it and Shaun, thinking to bring him back jumps after. The portal flares up and explodes. You and the Albannok escape the fortress just in time. What has happened to Shaun and Arlok? Find out in the next installment in the series.
