Well, there's the Dragonrise, of course (for certain values of
"Argrath" :-) ). And Argrath's Lightbringers' Quest, when he rescued
Sheng Seleris from Hell to fight the Lunars.
He also apparently found a way to subvert the Temples of the Reaching
Moon, turning them into Temples of the Reaching Storm - whatever that
means!
Also, summarised from _King of Sartar_ page 35; How Argrath Brought
Back Winter to Peloria:
- Argrath and his companions find the Invisible Road.
- They are delayed by the Two Half-Bears, who slay one of their
number.
- They arrive at where the House of Kalikos should be, but it has
moved. They wander lost on the Great Glacier.
- They met Fankrios Unlaba frozen in the ice. They rescue her, and
she leads them to the house of her chieftain Hend Valindsson.
- Hend is bound to fight a Lunar champion, and has previously always
lost the battle. Argrath offers to take his place in the fight.
- Argrath fights and defeats a Lunar champion representing Kalikos
Icebreaker.
- Hend and Fankrios now summon Valind's army and guide Argrath into
the Underworld, where he finally finds Kalikos' palace. However,
there does not appear to be any way in.
- Argrath's Trickster find a crack that nobody would talk about. The
questors squeeze their way in, although they are injured in the
process.
- Argrath manages to open the palace gate, and Valind's army swarms
in. Kalikos is defeated in battle.
- Argrath returns back to the world.
That winter, Peloria is covered by snowdrifts higher than a horse, and
the Oslir freezes solid.
Then, there's his "destroy the Red Moon" quest, but that might be a
bit too apocalyptic to use in a normal game. :)
