First make your dude, the original author chose the Knight. Then when the game is started, go down the stairs and head for the man standing near the bar. Ask him questions about the Kingdom, and then you will have more options to ask people. After this, go to the room in the left hand corner of the bar. Talk to the Prior and he will ask you if you want to take on a mission for him. Answer "yes". Now leave the city by exiting the inn and following the path toward the North. If you keep following the path (keep close to the top of the path) you will meet a woodsman. Talk to the dude and ask him of Orcs. Continue asking him questions... Go into his house and take the dagger. You can now attack from far away. Now continue following the path, making sure you check every hole for an entrance that you can see going into the forest toward the North. Once you find it, follow the forest path and soon you will reach the Orcs clearing. Don't be fooled, just run toward the urn in the Southwest corner of the screen and take the urn. Now head back and give the Prior what you found (save your game now by going to the inn and asking for lodging).
The Prior should send you to the castle to the Southeast of the city. Enter and look for the dude sitting on the throne. Talk to him, and he will send you on a quest for the 2nd object of power: The Tablet. Exit the town toward the South and you will find a city (it will take a while, head toward the East and South paths when you can). This is not really a city but only an Inn. Save your game here. Continue East and North when you can, and it will take you to another city. Talk to everyone and save your game. Now head toward the South and follow the path (going East and South when possible). You will soon reach the town (again save your game). Talk to everyone and you will soon learn about a trap door under the cellar. Enter the cellar (behind the Bartender) and look for a thing on the wall (in the Northeast alcove), which will allow access to the castle. Look for the stair going up and be sure to stay away from the guards. Once you are on the second stair, look for the tablet. It is in a small room with no doors. Now leave and save your game.
Return to the reagent and give him the tablet, (oh if you try talking with someone the stone will think you are talking to it, ask the High King). Your next mission is to find the assassin of the High King. Go South from the original city (don't follow paths) and you will soon hit water. Follow the water toward the East and North and you will find a bridge. Pass the bridge and head South. Look for the assassin's hut, it is around here. Enter it and ask the assassin of the High King... he will give you a scroll. Now exit his hut and head toward the water (don't pass the bridge). Follow the water East. Don't worry where it turns, just follow it. Soon you will reach the Tablet city again. Enter the castle and go onto the 3rd floor. Give the scroll to the dude on the throne, the warden. He will tell you there is a spy. Exit the castle and talk to everyone and follow up on every tip. If you do, you will have an option to ask about spying. Wait until nightfall (wait in the castle) and go to the guard to your right. Ask him about spying and he will attack you. Kill him and take the scroll. Give the scroll to the warden and he will send you on a mission to save his son.
Head toward the North and West when possible and you will soon find a city with a Duke in one house. He will tell you the warden's son is near the mountains. Go toward the East (forget the paths) until you hit the mountains. Now head South and you will see a big building. Enter it, kill everyone and pick up the scroll on the table. Go upstairs with the key you'll find and free the son. He will tell you to see Arial, who is in a tower. Go find him.
Once you find him, he'll tell you to go to the ruins. But first you need to go to the inn (the one that is only an inn, nothing else) and talk to the guy next to the bartender. He will tell you stuff, and soon you will have an option for holy water. Save your game and experiment with the scroll you found. Go to every city and search out the Prior Kane, he will give you holy water. If you happen to find a man who offers to sell you an axe in your experiment, GREAT!
Now go back to the lone Inn. Save your game and head to the middle of the inn (near it's south wall). Then walk straight South until you see ruins. You will find a door in the ruins. Enter them and search around making sure you press all those knobs on the ground. You will soon find the Evil Liche. Kill him by using holy water. Now go back to Arial.
He will send you to the Crater. Find the Crater and enter it. Again being sure to press all the knobs. Ok, now go find the monastery in the mountains. Enter it with the key you found in the Crater. Now go searching around for an orb. Use the orb on the Evil Cleric and you have won the game.
