Quick notes

  • The old companions return as individuals. Diego, Gorn, Milten and Lester connect the mainland adventure to the earlier games.
  • Xardas gives the search direction. The mage’s actions and intentions are central to understanding the mainland’s situation.
  • Kings and local leaders control access. Rhobar’s authority differs from that of an orc town leader or a desert ruler.
  • Player actions can remove contacts. Liberating towns or attacking leaders can end normal conversations and services.
