LONG AGO AN EVIL SAGE STOLE THE TORCH OF TRUE LIGHT AND HID IT AMONG THE MANY SA NCTUARYS AND DUNGEONS OF PASTORIA. WITH THE PEOPLE THUS BLINDED HE BEGAN TO TAK E THE LAND...THE TIME HAS COME TO TAKE I T BACK!..ALTHOUGH YOU ARE A COMMON CITIZ EN, YOU ARE FAR FROM COMMON. YOU POSSESS THE LAST OF THE MYSTERIOUS LUCKSTONES. LEGENDS SAY THE LUCKSTONES WILL PROTECT YOU AGAINST WILD BEASTS OF THE LAND...WH EN YOU ENTER PASTORIA, YOU WILL HAVE ONL Y YOUR FISTS FOR WEAPONS AND YOUR CLOTHE S FOR ARMOUR. IT IS THE FALL SEASON, AND WINTER IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING.....THE F IRST THING YOU MAY WANT TO DO IS PRAY. T O DO THIS PRESS THE 'P' KEY. WHEN YOU 'P 'RAY A COMMAND LIST WILL APPEAR AS A VIS ION OF GUIDENCE. THE LIST WILL LOOK SOME THING LIKE THIS:..@ = MOVE CHARACTER NOR TH./ = MOVE CHARACTER SOUTH.; = MOVE CHA RACTER EAST.: = MOVE CHARACTER WEST.A = ATTACK/FIGHT.B = READ SPELL BOOK (IF YOU HAVE ONE).C = CAST A SPELL (IF YOU KNOW ONE.).E = ENTER A BUILDING/TOWN.F = FLA SH CHARACTER (FOR EASY LOCATION).P = PRA Y FOR HELP.Q = QUIT/SAVE/VALIDATE DISK.R = RETREAT/RUN LIKE A COWARD.U = 'U': A PROFILE OF YOU..THE CURSER KEYS WILL SCR OLL THE MAP FOR YOU. AND THE FUNCTION KE YS WILL JUMP THE MAP TO THE FOUR CORNERS ...PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT MAGIC WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK. SOME AREAS HAVE BEEN PROTEC TED AGAINST MAGIC ALTOGETHER, WHILE OTHE RS WILL ONLY ALLOW SOME MAGIC USE..ALSO BE ADVISED THAT PRAYER MAY NOT WORK IN S OME EVIL AREAS (KEEP THE LIST ABOVE HAND Y) WHILE IN OTHER AREAS IT MAY PROVIDE Y OUR CHARACTER WITH DIVINE ASSISTANCE...T O PLAY THE GAME, A CHARACTER MUST BE MAD E. CHOOSE THE 'START A NEW GAME' OPTION FROM THE FIRST MENU. THE PROGRAM WILL LO AD THE CHARACTER GENERATOR, THEN BEGIN A SKING YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER . AFTER THIS YOU CAN VIEW THE CHARACTER AND WILL HAV....E THE OPTION OF SAVING H IM/HER FOR GAME PLAY IN THE FUTURE...DO NOT CREATE MORE THAN THREE CHARACTERS... AND NOW THE RACES OF PASTORIA.....HUMANS HAVE ALWAYS RUN RAMPANT IN PASTORIA. TH EY ARE A WARLIKE RACE AND DISTRUST MOST OF THE OTHER RACES (AS WELL AS EACH OTHE R.) DESPITE THIS THEY CAN BE VERY KIND T O TRAVELLERS. HUMANS MAKE CRUDE, BUT EFF ECTIVE WEAPONS. THEY ARE WIDLY KNOWN FOR THEIR ....STRONG INTUITION, PARTICULARL Y IN THE FEMALES OF THE SPECIES...SPRADL INGS ARE STRONG HAIRLESS CREATURES WITH SMALL EARS. THEY ARE CRAFTSMEN BY TRADIT ION AND ENJOY SHOWING THEIR CREATIONS TO ANY WHO WILL HOLD STILL LONG ENOUGH. AL THOUGH VERY GENTLE IN NATURE THE SPRADLI NGS ARE NOT A PASSIVE RACE. YEARS AGO A BAND OF.... ROGUES ATTACKED A SPRADLING VILLAGE HOPING TO LOOT ITS WEALTH. THE S PRADLINGS WERE BADLY OUTNUMBERED SIX TO ONE. THE RUFFIANS WERE NEVER SEEN AFTER THAT DAY.....GNOMES ARE RECLUSIVE. LITTL E IS UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THEM AS THEY RAREL Y SPEAK WITH 'OUTSIDERS'. WHAT IS KNOWN IS THIS: THEY LIVE IN OR AROUND TREES. T HEY TREASURE KNOWLEDGE AND MANY STUDY MA GIC OF SOME FORM OR OTHER...DWARVES ARE A VERY STOUT RACE. THEY HAVE A STRONG SE NSE OF HUMOR AND RELISH THEIR ALE! THEY ARE THE ONLY RACE TO HAVE WON A WAR AGAI NST HUMANS (SEE 'THE RUM WARS': ENCYCLOP EDIA PASTORIA). THEY HAVE MADE METAL WOR KING AN ART FORM. THEIR STRONG CONSTITUT I....ONS MAKE THEM THE HARDIEST RACE OF PASTORIA...GARDKINS ARE A DIMINUTIVE RAC E RESEMBLING ELVES. UNLIKE THEIR DISTANT COUSINS THE GARDKINS ARE PLAYFUL AND EN JOY STRONG DRINK. THEIR PLAYFUL ATTITUDE S OFTEN HIDE GREAT WISDOM AND INSIGHT. I NDEED THE INTUITION OF THIS RACE IS SIMI LAR TO THAT OF HUMANS...ELVES ARE SLIGHT OF FEATURES, AND POSSES BRIGHT PIERCING EYES. A PUZZLING RACE, THE ELVES SELDOM LY ASSOCIATE WITH OTHERS. THEY ARE QUIET , BUT LIKE THE SPRADLINGS THIS QUIET HID E THE FIERCENESS WITHIN...AND NOW A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PROFESSIONS...YOUR CHARA CTER IS AN ORDINARY PERSON, WITH AN ORDI NARY JOB, WHO MUST MAKE AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY!.IN PASTORIA THERE ARE NO 'PROF ESSIONAL' PALADINS, OR 'PROFESSIONAL' TH IEVES..ON YOUR JOURNEY YOUR CHARACTER MA Y LEARN THE SKILLS OF A THIEF GAIN THE P OWERS OF A WIZARD, BUT THEIR PROFESSION WILL BE SOMETHING MORE COMMON LIKE, A BL ACKSMITH, OR A FARMER..TAKE SPECIAL CARE WHEN PICKING YOUR PROFESSION. ASK YOURS ELF, WHAT MAKES A GOOD LOCKSMITH OR A GO OD BARKEEP, AND DOES MY CHARACTER NEED S UCH SKILLS...?..I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE GAM E...
