Biography[]
The three Blacksword brothers, Adram, Carsas, and Pratlan, ruled in their own kingdoms, but they hated each other and were insane. All three had special artifacts, Adram had the Frost Hammer, Carsas had the Tiger Armor, and Pratlan had the Tiger Helmet. However, a barbarian hero named Dogwoggle confronted them because it was necessary for the artifacts to fight the evil and crazy dark wizard Hexis with the help of his friends. He defeated Adam and Carsas, then went against the third brother. Pratlan ruled perhaps the largest and most powerful kingdom, the land of Kuldross. However, like his brothers, he was not the best king. Just after Dogwoggle defeated Carsas, a civil war broke out in the kingdom of Kuldross, the lords decided to seize the power of the lands. Pratlan fled to a hidden, underground fortification system to gather an army there and wait for the lords to weaken each other. But he didn't take the helmet with him, he hid it. However, Dogwoggle defeated each warlord and found the third brother's secret hiding place. He fought Pratlan and although he was a strong opponent, he lost. However, the hero did not kill him because only he knew where the Tiger Helmet. Pratlan revealed where he had hidden the artifact. Dogwoggle imprisoned him in his underground castle and he found the Tiger Helmet at the end of a bridge in a volcanic mountain range.
