ManualLook back through the dark mirror of the seasons to the time when theeagles deserted this land of Albion to the ravaging of the Saxons. Lookback to an age of bloody war and mysterious magickes.

You are Artura, son of the Pendragon. To stem the tide of invaders youmust unite the Chieftains of the warring tribes of Albion under yourleadership as High King. To do this you need to gain possession of thesacred Treasures of Albion, hidden where the eagles came.

Only Merdyn, your adviser and friend, knows the exact location of the lostTreasures. But he has vanished, and four play is suspected. Your onlyclue to the dark mystery is that Morgause, your evil half sister, haskidnapped Nimue, Merdyn's beautiful apprentice. You must fight your waythrough Morgause's dun to rescue her.

The maze that surrounds Morgause's stronghold was specifically built torepel intruders. Complete with deadly traps and one-way passages leadingnowhere, it houses a seemingly endless stream of wierd and wonderfulminions, including powerful warriors, ghouls, spiders, even giant rats. Nevertheless, you must find a path through the dangerous dungeon to rescuethe enchantress imprisoned therein.

Hidden in the dark passages you will find the shattered pieces of the sixRune Stones, which were stolen by Morgause and subsequently destroyed byher evil touch. Used separately or in combination, these will enable youto ride the mystical wheel of Cerriddwen, as did Kings of old.

Only by finding all of the Runes can you hope to rescue Nimue, and returnto Camelod to fulfill your destiny...

HELP FOR THE HERO

Travelers before you have brought back valuable information as to thelayout of Morgause's maze. By compiling all available data we have beenable to construct maps of all four Levels (Level 1 being the nearest theEarth's surface, and the one where your quest begins), which are asreliable as possible, under the circumstances.

However, be advised that these maps were constructed from informationgleaned before Morgause had gained her present level of magical power. Since no traveler has returned from her dungeons in many years, it iscertain that her cunning brain has derived new traps and tricks, which ofcourse were impossible to document.

Also the present location of food stores and the broken rune stones is alsoknowledge that is beyond our ancient mapmakers.

If it will add to the challenge of the game for you, you may of course putaway the map we have provided, and painstakingly construct one of your own.

On the other hand, if you're more of a warrior than a strategist, and youneed even more of a guide than that provided by the map, seers have gazedthrough the mists to provide a guide to the locations of food stores andthe shattered pieces of the Rune stones.

To see the vision of the seers, turn to the last page of this document.

Be brave, be strong,be cunning... be victorious,and take your predestinedplace as High King!

THE SEERS' VISION
