large mountain range known as the Craggen Heights, where a Dark
Sorcerer Warlord named 'Balthus Dire' resides in a fortress
citadel known as the 'Black tower'. In the adventure, you have
to journey to Dire's citadel, explore the vast maze-like fortress
and overcome traps, hostile creatures and spirits and collecting
several artifacts; which you must find to complete you quest.
If you manage to avoid being
imprisoned, killed or getting lost, you eventaully get to face
the terrifying demonic Balthus Dire in a fight to the death
(using your weapon or/and magic). The book is an absolute FF
classic as it introduces the second of the Demonic Three, a
group of evil sorcerers once students of the great Volegra Darkstorm
who held residence with the grassy wastes of the eastern Flatlands.
Balthus Dire re-appears and
is mentioned in later books in the series. The excellent FF
novel, the Trolltooth Wars and the Creature of Havoc. The Citadel

first book. The monsters, traps, and encounters are all original
and exciting. It is a must for all FF readers. The ending is
great as well...
