(to Doodan, yes gathering magic crystals is overused, but only because its awsome!
)
The evil half-ogres from the wintry North(Protoss) are going to invade. They cannot survive in this land without it being cold, so that have taken one of the world's three(Khalis/Kaydarin/Uraj) most powerful ancient talismans, the Ice Crystal, to freeze over the rest of the world so they can invade.
You are like, the chosen one or something, and a seer at the High Temple tells you that to stop the half-ogres, the three Crystals of Power must be gathered at an ancient shrine in the High Temple
The first crystal you must gather is the Fire Crystal. You embark on a long adventure across the land to reach the Fire Temple in the <name of region.> The natives of that area are the Flamebloods, and their leader lives in the Fire Temple. He tells you that he will give you the Fire Crystal only if you can retrieve a sacred relic from the bowels of a nearby cave. The relic was stolen from the Fire Temple by smugglers to sell on the black market.
Once you defeat the smugglers and take the relic, you must return it to the Flameblood king. In return, he gives you the Fire Crystal.
You go back to the High Temple to report your success to the seer. He places the talisman on one corner of a large triangle carved into the stone floor of the High Temple, and tells you to retrieve the Crystal of Balance from the king of the Elves. You go to <where elves live> and, after going through a long sting of quests, are allowed to speak to the Elven king.
This king tells you that the Crystal of Balance is an important royal symbol to the Elves; he will only let a member of his own family even see it. You think about it for a bit, then decide that not only is his daughter hot and wealthy, but getting her to marry you may also convince him to let you take the Crystal.
