Chaos is the most enigmatic, mysterious and powerful of all the gods and goddesses. Only she can turn what is to what is not, make nothing of something and with the help of her servant Time, destroy all that is or ever will be. Thus the heart trembles and the knees quake when this powerful and capricious goddess interferes directly in the affairs of humankind.
Pity, then, the citizens of Retslu, a tiny kingdom ruled by an honest, just and liberal monarch, King Knight Black, whose only faults were muddleheadedness—not an unusual trait in rulers of this land—and a tendency toward extravagance. During his reign, the once proud and prosperous Retslu was subject to several years of drought, wars with neighboring Neerg, poaching by the dreaded beast-things in the south and more, and now the kingdom was destitute.
Near King Black's castle squatted an ancient, venerable and hoary church. Presiding over this church was Bishop Faith, whose ambition was to replace the church with a tremendous cathedral. When two marriages are to be performed there, the king throws a lavish masquerade ball, and the goddess Chaos appears, awarding Bishop Faith the prize for the best costume. When others ridicule her choice, Chaos curses the kingdom.
The very next day, the royal treasurer, Screege, discovers that not enough gold is left in the treasure room to pay the king's bills. Thus begins a hilarious serious of misadventures in the tradition of Discworld and Xanth. In it you will meet Captain Blite, a pirate with an unusual buried treasure; the hapless knight, Lord Noise, who must hock the Royal Crown if he can survive the monsters that litter his path; the king of Atlantis and his troll, Turkle; Ping Pong, a monsterous gorilla; the witch, Wortisha; Lord Noise's slutty daughter, Hunkerina; Pancho Beastman, and many of Retslu's other crazy and irresistible denizens.
