Dinglefoot

The story of Dinglefoot takes place in the land of Ranuan. An elfin farmer named Emil Dinglefoot is suddenly exposed to a deep, forgotten secret that was prophesized to be revealed many years earlier. Emil learns that he is of direct heritage to one of the first royal bloodlines of the King of the Elves. Besides this new revelation, it becomes Emil's duty to rescue the Ruby of the Elves, a jewel containing great power that was given to the elfin race, making them the most powerful in the land. Emil must retrieve the Ruby before the goblin Mordeus, the King of Evil, can abuse its power. Mordeus must fight his way into the World Above, and once he sets foot through its well-hidden gate, the power of the Ruby must be yielded to him. Emil sets off on his long journey with nine strangers as his only companions. Together, they must recruit soldiers from all over the land of Ranuan and form an army capable of defeating their malicious, bloodthirsty enemy. Emil finds many twists and turns throughout his trek, and in the end, he finds that before he can gain what he wants, he must lose everything he has.
