Winningel is a strong kingdom, but King Tamaros, wanting to make it even more powerful, enters into an alliance with the inhabitants of neighboring lands - elves, orcs and dwarves. The gods give him the Stone of Dominion, and Tamaros divides it into four parts, each of which goes to one of the races.

He manages to defeat the defenders of the capital of Winningel, destroy the Temple of the Magi and capture a part of the Stone of Dominion belonging to people, but along with his prey he himself is buried under the ruins of the Portal of the Gods...
