    Forgotten Realms (1989) 15

    An Avatar Story! Part 1 of 4. "Fallen Idols!" Story by Jeff Grubb. Art by Rags Morales and Dave Simons. It is "The Time of Troubles." This is the omen Vartan was warned about (see Forgotten Realms (1989) #9). Gods now walk among the mortals of the Forgotten Realms. Magic is out of control, and strange creatures roam the land. This is the tale that rocked the Realms to its very foundation. Things turn upside down for the crew of the Realms Master when the elven god Labelas usurps Vartan, body and soul, and uses the cleric as his earthly avatar. NOTE: The whole story of "The Time of Troubles" is chronicled in the Avatar Trilogy: Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, novels written by Richard Awlinson and published by TSR. The affects of this story are still felt in the Forgotten Realms to this day and are explored in the computer games Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. Cover price $1.50.

    An Avatar Story! Part 2 of 4. "Mad Gods and Paladins!" Story by Jeff Grubb. Art by Rags Morales and Dave Simons. "The Time of Troubles" are here. The Tablets of Fates have been stolen and the gods have been cast out of the heavens. This is the omen Vartan was warned about (see Forgotten Realms (1989) #9). Now, Labelas, Vartan's deity, is using the cleric's body as vessel to walk among mortals, and the crew of the Realms Master is powerless to stop him. Things get worse when Labelas' rival, Enoreth the dwarf deity, shows up. When gods make war, mortals always lose. Cover price $1.75.

    An Avatar Story! Part 4 of 4. "On Earth as is in Heaven!" Story by Jeff Grubb. Art Dave Simons. "The Time of Troubles" concludes in this tragic tale of heroism.
