A genuine exercise in frustration, but very atmospheric and with plenty to exotic locations to visit.
A high point in the Telarium series, but *requires* a dedicated player. The Great Plain of Rama is replicated here on a grid of 1,440 locations (!) and getting a sense of its cartography becomes a task comparable to illuminating manuscripts. The game is complex and atmospheric, despite there being not a lot to do: the plan is to explore and find the relatively few locations that are significant to the plot, which takes time and extra reserves of patience.
