The old man's story:  

The man looks very excited that someone has finally come to talk to him.  He
immediately starts to tell you the history of this realm.  He begins:

Many years ago, Akira became king of Kara-Tur.  He ruled until one fateful day
when he became very ill.  People from around the realm came to see him.  His
illness overcame him, and he passed on.

The man coughs, clears his throat and asks 'Would you like to hear more?'

Unknown to the people, Akira made a pact with the dark evils of the realm. 
This pact was to help him remain alive forever.  So, on the night the everyone
thought he died, he was actually reborn.

No one knows what has happened since that night, which was many thousands of
years ago, except that less than a year ago, Akira came back to take control
of Kara-Tur with an evil army of monsters.

A fierce battle ensued, and many of the city's defenders fell, as well as the
majority of Akira's forces.  Knowing that they could not win, the defenders of
the city used the ancient magic arts to create an interdimensioanl prison and
trap Akira in it.  But, in the process of trapping Akira, they also trapped
themselves!

The interdimensional prison was sealed by a puzzle, consisting of nine
different pieces.  To open the prison, you must collect the nine different
pieces and assemble them.  Know this, though:  once you enter the prison,
there is no way out until you defeat Akira!

The nine pieces of the puzzle were strewn around the realm.  Some of Akira's
minions protect them, so the defenders can't be freed, and some lawful
citizens protect others, so that Akira can never walk the realm again.

The man looks very tired, and sits down for a rest.
