THE PENDANT OF LOGRYN
(Zenobi Software)

Spectrum 128K


... To an elf there are not many more
important events than to be visited by
an old and loved relative and this was
true even of the mighty KING LOGRYN.

In a few days time his aged grandmother
would arrive and pass some time in his
company, something that he was really
looking forward to ... That was until he
discovered that his precious pendant was
missing!!! It had been bought for him on
the occasion of his one hundred and tenth
birthday and he had treasured it ever since.
Normally its loss would have been bad enough,
but imminent arrival of his grandmother made
it doubly worse as it was she who had bought
it for him in the first place!!!!

You are KORMIN, an elf of the kingdom of "Blue Water" and the one chosen by Logryn
to locate and retrieve the missing pendant. Not only was it priceless and, more
importantly, a gift from his grandmother, but it was also rumoured to possess magical
properties. Thus, armed with only your trusty sword and with two gold pieces jingling
in the pocket of your pants, you must set off into the world of humans where it is
possible that you may just find the help necessary to locate the pendant. However,
take care just who you confide in, as not all humans are "honest" and especially keep
watch for the dangerous creatures that roam the land of man.


NOTES

Use the following commands to switch between the various "settings" of the game.
PICS ON ... Draws the location graphic every time you enter or redescribe the location.
PICS NORM . Draws the location graphic the first time you enter the location only.
PICS OFF .. No location graphics are drawn.
MODES 0 to 4 will also affect the screen presentation. Experiment to find one that suits.

This game will accept such complex commands as "GET THE SWORD, EXAMINE IT AND THEN KILL
THE ORC", though the more usual verb/noun will suffice in most cases.

To talk to or converse with any characters you may encounter, simply use the following
style ... SAY TO KHARIN "EXAMINE THE SCROLL" or SAY TO IMP "HELLO".


HELP

There are a number built-in "hints", so if you should wish help at any point simply
input the word HELP and perhaps you may be lucky ... If not you can always try again
at some other point in the game. Remember ... SEARCH and EXAMINE are NOT the same!!!!
