Synopsis

Plot

The year is 2743. You arrive with the Doctor on the planet Quantain, where a century-long war is just coming to a close. You emerge from the Tardis to find deep mist all around.

Travelling north, you stumble into one of the last battles of the long war. The Doctor, however, seems convinced that King Varangar, (an old friend of his) is in some deadly danger, and presses on. In the confusion of the battle you are separated from the Doctor, and caught up in a skirmish.

Something hits you on the back of the head. The last thing you remember as you sink to the ground is cries of "Varangar! Varangar!" answered by "The Warlord! The Warlord!"

Notes

A Spectrum 48 version was planned but apparently never released.

This adventure was later reworked into 'The Warlord' by removing all the references to the Doctor Who IP.

In a series of articles in Acorn User, to accompany the release of The Warlord, Peter Voke named his adventure system TAG (the Tabular Adventure Generator). (Not to be confused with TAG)
