I never thought I'd see this book again. I had left it behind in our old base when we left to the Board. You may be wondering who I am, and why William Dawson isn't here. The Nightlanders, or the "Darkness", as they're refered to in this book, dealt with him. They weren't to happy about him defiling the tome. They've carried him off. He's most likely dead now. As for my identity, I am the thief king Abdalin, the Black Joker. I have come to collect what's mine. And now I must leave. The Game Master has need of me.
