Synopsis

Plot

Far away to the East lies the little kingdom of Zamania. Some years ago the last king, Bindod XIII, died leaving no heir. Since then many have tried to govern the country, but they have had little success because powerful factions have been tearing it apart. As a result most of the people are starving and bands of thieves roam the land.

You feel sorry for the people and you are certain that you could make a better job of running the country. You know, though, that the army will only swear allegiance to the one who wears the old crown of Zamania, and without their support you can do nothing.

The difficulty is that King Bindod, being a trifle eccentric, hid the crown just before his death. On his deathbed he indicated that one who was worthy to rule in his place would be able to find it, and he hinted that it was buried somewhere in the Great Forest of Treaze. He was confident that one of his subjects would very soon find the crown, but sadly his confidence proved not to be well founded.

Can you find the crown and rule the land? For the sake of the people you are determined to try.
