In mnay civilisations the sceptre (or later the orb) was a symbol of power and leadership. For example cheifs in stone age tribes would hold a sceptre or early monarchs might hold a sceptre. In this game the sceptre also has life giving powers aswell as leadership. No as Listamn stole the sceptre for a reason, to make her home land (Erebus) a happy place like Asakar. She is not truly evil at all. Warrior: a fighter or guardian for his/her people. conqueror: a leader who expands his borders much with the use of conquest. adventurer: someone who discovers new areas or hard to access areas.
 * Why is the Sceptre a sacred object?
 * Is Listemon truly evil? Explain your answer.
 * Gadd is described as a ‘warrior, conqueror and adventurer’. How are these words all different in meaning?
 * Imagine that you are Gadd. In separate passages, describe your experience (use as many literary techniques as possible in your writing):
 * Inside the Choking Fog of Erebus: I could hardly breath in all this dense fog i saw moving silouhettes everywhere i was scared. I tripped over this item and it appeared to be another sword but it glowed. I moved towards it and when i touched it a warming light shot out of the end of the sword. The fog was still present and choking me but i could see the silouhettes. They were dark creatures like wraiths and moaned hauntingly. They tried to touch me but i warded them off with the light.


 * As you avoid the Snapping Turtle Mutations: The lasso was helping to shut these turteles gooey mouths but there were so many of them. I shut one of the mouths and then had to shut another but the other one would try to bight me back. I had enough of this so instead i tried to use my silver Scythe but the water slowed me down and the turtles shell was like granite. After that i just used my lasso the whole way and my god did it take a long time
