  ====== The Tale of Lord Butakis - The Lost Stars of the Lake ======
  
- This story begins nearly four thousand years ago, when Kadriosa IV, King of Scorn, invaded the southern territories and pushed back the elven barbarians that lived there.
+ This story begins nearly four thousand years ago, when Kadriosa IV, King of [[world:Scorn]], invaded the southern territories and pushed back the [[races:elves|elven]] barbarians that lived there.
  
  The elvish people fled, and many of them settled in a place they called Vkovzerov, "The Country of the Three Waters", as it was a rather unique meeting point between a river, a lake, and the sea. There they enjoyed a great prosperity, working with the local sprites to build Tashkeren-tah, The City of the Wooden Towers.
  
  Two centuries passed, then three. The elven princes of Tashkeren-tah had become powerful - and never in their hearts was the thirst of revenge and hatred towards the people of Scorn extinguished. Now very familiar with the various water creatures that inhabited their territory, they had developed great skills in commanding rivers, and the beasts inside them, and the creatures made from them. They knew that Scorn was highly dependent on its seaport, and they had planned for the many years their long life gave them to use the great power of water spirits to crush and flood the city.

  And then, a man came. Where did he come from ? Nobody knows for sure. Butakis was his name.
  
  Butakis was an ambitious young man. He had heard here and there strange pieces of a weird story, about a sunken city, about a dark pact, about the secret power of elves... 
  
- For years, he studied the Arcanes, hunting for traces of the city, as he was convinced that the lost wisdom of the elves of Vkovzerov would give him a great power. And, finally, after 20 long years of searching, he concluded that the secret was in the area now called "Lake Country".

  And there, he came, and there was a small house made of wood, and there was a tree, and there was a young elvish woman, dreaming at the stars, under the tree. And Butakis fell in love, and the elvish lady fell in love, and they both watched the stars. But soon, Butakis felt the need of getting back into action, and finding the lost city and getting its power.
  
  The lady told him: "The true wisdom is in those stars, and in that tree, and in that house you see. You'll only find unrest by aiming for more."

  But Butakis had already made up his mind, and he brought back engineers, and sappers, and miners, and they all worked to build a huge machine to pump the water, and discover the city. During ten years, Butakis worked on this, hoping that in the end, the elvish lady would be at his side, and that she would be his wife, princess of the restored city.
  
  During all the work, he was perpetually annoyed by a small group of bandits, lead by Twak the Red Fox. Twak and his men conducted a real guerilla war against Butakis, as they saw him as a danger for the whole country, because his plans were damaging nature and could also have awaken dark power sleeping in the sunken city. Several times, they sabotaged the machine, stole tools, raped engineers and designers. But each time, Butakis and his followers repaired the machines, engaged new people, and increased security.
  
- And now, ten years after the beginning, the work was completed, and he invited the elvish lady to come and see the acomplishment of a lifelong dream.

  The Elvish lady came, as beautiful as ever. And on the balcony at the top of the pump, they watched the stars, and she kissed him, and she when they were in the bed he had prepared for that very special night before the pumping started, she whispered at his ear.
  
  That, Butakis had waited for long, but he didn't expect what she told him then.
