Sent into endless exile, the fallen angel is deprived of the memory of his former greatness. Only the almost complete liberation allows Betrezen to slightly lift the veil of oblivion. He remembers the artifact he made many millennia ago under the skies of Nevendaar, and sends his devoted servant, Duke Gabvel, to retrieve it. The power of the true Creator hidden in the artifact - which Betrezen was in those distant times - may well be enough for the fallen to escape from his imprisonment. Alas! The grandiose plans of the powerful prince of Hell are confused by the unexpected intervention of the elven oracle Remus Agbael, who, to his misfortune, saw in a magic crystal an excerpt of a conversation between Betrezen and a faithful demon.
