Having gone forward to accept his dangerous quest you must go forth
into the wilderness to tackle the forces and all those that guard the
Staff of Sarfrin, needed for survival. The only form of protection you

untouchable. Many dangers await you going through the mountain-maze,
so keep good sense of direction always and be ready for action, for
the Staff is well guarded by its keeper. A piece of advice, be aware
of the city guards of Carloon.

The way to return home a hero is with the staff that will then reasure
the land which will then become yours.

Although you are the son of a noble family, have you the courage to
take on such a dangerous quest. There is no turning back now, you are
wearing the star of Thorgrim to protect you, without it you are sure
to meet with a tragic end. Your King depends on you to find the staff
of Sarfrin. MAY THE GODS GO WITH YOU !
