Storm Warning (Choose your own adventure)

2

You walk across the town to an ivy-covered stone brick building. A large sign outside says Valehaven Library. You walk inside and sit down at a table. There's hardly anyone around and the place is almost unnaturally quiet. You walk over to a section of books about world history, pull some out and start reading. You find out that this world was recently shattered by a cataclysmic war involving many overlapping empires disputing over territory. The war lasted for three years and many lives were lost. Eventually peace came and it was settled that a lord would rule over the empires like states.

The lord would be from a long line of Storm Knights, guardian protecters able to harness and control the elements. According to legend, this power was given to them by Ouravos, the god of the sky. However they could only use their momentous powers for the good of the world. There were two heirs lined up to be lord, and apparently there could only be one Storm Knight in a single family, so whoever started exhibiting the qualities of a Storm Knight first would be the lord.

Rumours began circulating around that one of the heirs had begin to show Storm Knight powers, but was imprisoned for unknown reasons and the other heir became lord instead. The heir's name was Valorus. For some reason you recognise it, but you're not sure why. You have a look at a few other books but can't seem to find anything else worth any interest. You leave the library and walk out into the town square. Where will you explore next? If you want to have a drink at the tavern, turn to 9. If want to check out the market stalls, turn to 11. If you just go back to where you are staying, turn to 21.
