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...

The place, Albion, now the British Isles, the time the fifth century A.D.
In this epic quest you play the part of Artura, an idealistic British
war-lord, intent on unifying the warring petty kingdoms of Britain.

His adviser and friend, Merdyn the Mage, has vanished, foul play is
suspected. Merdyn's knowledge is vital to Artura's dream of unifying Britain.
The only way the Chieftains of the warring tribes would accept a High King
would be if the lost treasures of Albion were in his possession...

Game Instructions
-----------------
You have received news that you half-sister, Morgause, has kidnapped Merdyn's
apprentice, Nimue. This, of course, has made you vary suspicious of
Morgause's intentions towards Britain. You decide to travel to Morgause's
Dun to rescue Nimue using the last vestiges of magic available to you. This
means that you can get there but not return unless you find the runes that
Morgause has.
