To become a Dark Lord is no easy thing. The simple ambition to hold dominion over the world sounds straightforward but it's not. After many spectacular failures, Evil wrote an easy to follow Dark Lord's Handbook. It had been hundreds of years, and the Handbook was seemingly lost in the annals of time. But then the Handbook found its way to a new contender, Morden. He had better be a quick study.

It’s not easy being a Dark Lord. Morden has to finish building his fortress, gather the last of his host, issue forth to conquer the world, and keep his Dark Queen happy. And if that isn’t difficult enough, dragon slayers, heroes, and old men stand in his way on the path to world domination. It can become all too much. It’s at these times that he turns to the sage advice of the Dark Lord’s Handbook.The Dark Lord’s Handbook: Conquest follows the events recounted in The Dark Lord’s Handbook.
