| 2. The
Challenge And Object Of The Game |
The Challenge:
Retrieve the Ancient Magic Scepter that has been stolen by a
tyrant king. The Scepter is the Power Staff of the Empire, and a
kingdom has been offered as reward for its return. The Scepter
lies hidden in the Dark Tower, guarded by a fierce band of the
tyrant's Brigands. Three magic keys will open the the tower to
you. Find the keys in three foreign kingdoms, and you may lay
siege to the Dark Tower.
In search of the key, leave the Citadel in your home kingdom
with a handful of warriors. On your journey, you will fight
battles, be attacked by dragons, lose warriors to plague and
starvation and get hopelessly lost in uncharted territories.
But don't despair! Visit the Bazaars to buy warriors and other
supplies. Stop at the Tombs and Ruins to discover treasures of
gold, dragon swords, magic keys, helpful wizards and the flying
horse, Pegasus. The Sanctuaries are open to you, too, ready to
outfit you with warriors, gold and food.
Once you discover the three keys, begin your siege of the Dark
Tower. Start out by solving the Ancient Riddle of the Keys, then
fight the Brigands within!
If you have a stout heart, quick wits and undying courage, you
will retrieve the Scepter, save the Empire and win a Kingdom.
Dare to Lay Siege to the Dark Tower!
