The Lily Crested Crown of Clovis the First

Legend Contributed by: Kyle Ammon

Olmec: One of the wiliest rulers of the Dark Ages was Clovis the First,

the founder of France.  In the late 400s, he defeated the Romans and

conquered the other Dreaminc tribes to create a french kingdom.  But It

was not easy.  Once, his army was pushed back to the banks of a great

river: the Rine.  Legend has it the german king sent a messenger.

Messenger: My master says you are trapped and cannot escape.  He bids

you surrender.

Clovis: I'd rather chew glass!

Olmec: But minutes later when arrows began to rain down on them,

Clovis' general panicked.

General: Sire, we're outnumbered, our backs are to the river, and these

arrows are making my helmet a pin cushion.  If we do not surrender,

they will cut us to ribbons!

Clovis: No way!  We'll cross the river.

General: But sire, the water is deep.  And in our armor we'll drown or

rust!

Clovis: Stop whining you nay-saying ninny, and follow me!

Olmec: And with that, Clovis ran into the water and to everyone's

astonishment, did NOT sink!  The amazed germans dropped their arms and

ran.

General: How did you do that sire?

Clovis: It's a sandbar.  I knew the water was shallow by the lilies

growing there.

Olmec: Because the lilies saved him, Clovis changed his emblem from

three toads to three lilies, and added them to his crown.  You're quest

is to find the lily crested crown of Clovis the First and bring it back

here!

Kirk: Alright, so tell us, where is this crown, Olmec?

Olmec: The Lily Crested Crown of Clovis the First can be found in the

Quicksand Bog!
