It comes to pass when Bram the Berserker, son of the frost-giant Buri, wages war on Magnar and raids his castle sinister with his army of Go-Berserks. After killing Magnar, Bram acquires The Book and writes himself to be a king.[1]* Bram rules for many years with Bartelmew as his friend until a campaign against a legendary Frost-Wyrnm, where Bram is overtaken by a drug-rage and bestows the book to Bartelmew.[2]* Bartelmew loses The Book to Merlin, Maximage of his time, in a game of cards. Merlin re-writes parts of the book to manipulate his stooge, Arthur, into power, and into ruling Camelot for a Golden Age.[2]

While escaping the ruins of Camelot, the Winter Knight dodges ogres and bests his old enemy, the dragon Faralanx.[1] Bartelmew tries stealing The Book, but the Winter Knight freezes him in ice. He leaves the book to his order, who eventually become the Knights Templar.[2]
