Scenario And Game Instructions
Look back through the dark mirror of the seasons to the time when the Eagles deserted this land of Albion to the ravaging of the saxons. Look back to an age of bloody war and mysterious magickes.
You are ARTURA son of the PENDRAGON. To stem the tide of invaders you must unite the petty kingdoms of ALBION under your leadership as ARD-RIGH. To do this you need to find the sacred Treasures of Albion, hidden when the eagles came. Only Merdyn knows where, but he has vanished! Your only clue is that Morgause, your evil half sister, has kidnapped Nimue, Merdyn's apprentice. You must find Nimue and rescue her...
To travel to Morgause's stronghold you must use the mystical wheel of Carriddwen. You must then fight your way through Morgause's dun to seek out Nimue. By finding and using the Rune Stones, stolen by Margause, you can travel once again on Carriddwen's Wheel. Only by finding all of the runes can you hope to return to Camelod...
