It's on page 3, in the yellow part...

------------------
In the foul darkness one figure will emerge to save the world from evil and despair.... Light flashes as his sword comes down, and thunder rolls through the sky when he points his sword up to heaven to signal his victory....People whisper his name as he walks by, evil tries to hide as they sense his presence nearby.... His name? Link......

Concerning that Buffey thing. I think you have misunderstood it. This is a story that starts in Tales of the Sword Coast, and ends when you find this guy in Spell hold, in SoA. Read it again.
Quote:

The Dradedl story: The whole sordid Dradeel story:

Relevant Parties:
1) Dradeel - Elven Mage, first met on the Werewolf Isle in TOSC
2) Golodon the Unmanned - mortal enemy of Dradeel and a former employer of Jan Jansen's
3) The Gibbering Twelve - mysterious brotherhood of mages, not affiliated with the Purple Brotherhood (Socerous Amin and Sorcerous Amon - they're brothers)
4) Buffy - Golodon's pet mastiff
5) Golodon's Wife - never named, excellent resistance to mandrake poison.

The tale - Dradeel and Golodon, as young mages, made a raid on the HQ of the Gibbering Twelve. They stole numerous powerful and valuable magic items. They got away with it but were hunted for years by the Gibbering Twelve and their agents. Eventually, Golodon betrayed Dradeel, black-jacked him, took the stuff, and left him in the then town of Baldur's Gate to get picked up by the agents of the Gibbering Twelve.

Dradeel, on the run, managed to convince the great hero, Balduran, to allow him on his ship which was about to set sale on a grand adventure in the western seas.

The ship never returned. When you reach the Werewolf Isle, you find Dradeel, the only crew member of Balduran's ill-fated ship to not get infected with Lycanthropy. He's gone mad out of paranoia over teh werewolves, wolfweres and the Gibbering Twelve. You help him escape, after hundreds of years of being trapped on the isle.

In the meantime, Golodon used the artifacts and became a very powerful mage. He got married and eventually had a falling out with his wife, a powerful mage in her own right.

A few centuries later, a young Jan Jansen was hired as a house gnome for Golodon. It was his job to clean up after Buffy and to take care of the daily attempts at poisoning Golodon's ex-wife. The wife also had Jan on her staff. He was to attempt to poison Golodon every morning as well. This was where Jan began to learn magic.

Later, long after Jan had departed, Dradeel returned to the mainland after being freed by the player. Quite mad, he immediately killed Golodon and was captured by the local authorities. He was then sentenced to a life of imprisonment in the Asylum, where the player finds him in SOA.

Why don't you have someone mail it to you from here, if it is gonna take so long???
I mean, I understand the need to wait if you are non-english speaking, but it seems that most of you here do not have that problem.

LOL Larry great idea! But really what if someone just took the manual and cd out of the great big stupidly oversized box and send them that way? Who would know then, its just a "used game" then eh?

What's the worry. We're getting it here in Australia in two weeks, I put my pre order in today, surely it will be about the same time in England. The last thing I read on interplays' site was that the game is finished and now they're just doing final testing for bugs and that was about a week ago.

Just when you thought it was safe to visit this board.
