The Scrolls of Ardra contained the Contract of Ardra, an ancient legendary arrangement between the Devil and people of Ventax II wherein the Ventaxians were given a millennium of peace and prosperity in exchange for delivering the population into slavery at the end of the thousand years. According to legend Ardra's return was to be heralded by earthquakes and the shaking of cities. In the year 2367, a con artist (Marta DuBois) appeared to the Ventaxians in the form of Ardra and attempted to convince them she was their legendary Devil, who had returned to take possession of the planet and its people.
