THE WHITE FEATHER CLOAK
(Zenobi Software)

Spectrum 48K/128K+2


This adventure game is in some ways a "sequel" to the epic poem of the same
name by the author MARC PEIRSON ... It is intended as a tribute, nothing more.

The "WHITE FEATHER CLOAK" is the sacred treasure of the gnomes and it enables its
wearer to fly. In the poem, Borin the Bold, the great gnomish warrior, and his
squire Cedric set out to recover the precious cloak from the thieving so-and-so
who stole it ... the evil Sorcerer Grimbal.

Protected from his evil magic by the powerful amulet given to Borin by Princess
Elsbeth, they engage the Sorcerer in battle and, after a great and intense struggle,
defeat him. Indeed they even go so far as to believe that they have killed him.

Some time later - one year to be precise - Cedric, now a knight himself, has made
his way to attend the wedding of Borin and Elsbeth. He finds Borin's house in ruins
and Borin himself missing.

Unbeknown to Cedric, the King's guards are looking for HIM, believing him to be the
one responsible for Borin's vanishing act. Cedric is unaware of this however and
goes about his daily business quite unaware of what is abut to happen.

Can YOU advise him on what must be done and can you assist him to solve the mystery
surrounding Borin's disappearance?
