The Saga of Sir Ranous

This is my first story here, but it's been placed in many other forums, namely Sal's, RuneHQ, the official RuneScape boards, Neoseeker, and my website once Comcast works again. (No offense meant at all. This is my favorite fansite of all, though I could care more about the forum.) I wrote it a while ago, so it's not at all up to the standards of my second story, The Asgarnian Champions. I'm only posting it here for a bit of background on my second story, in fact...if you can only spare the time to read one, then you should definitely read the other one.

Please note that although both of these stories have many of the same characters, and are posted at the same time, they are NOT the same story. They have completely different plots, quality of writing, and themes.

Also, this story originally had Zezima in it. I changed his name using Control-F, and unlike the other story I wrote, it doesn't remotely damage the telling.

Feel free to take a break if the story is too long for you, although that's less of a problem than I first realized.

This is my first story, so donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t flame me. I know itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s kind of long, but READ THE WHOLE THING before posting, or youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll get the wrong idea from the prologue. Well, here goesÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ=)

Prologue

Long ago, in the beginning days of RuneScape, in the early Fifth Age, right after the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅGolden AgeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
