For the last eight months, Gremlin Graphics have been working hard
to recreate the excitement and skill of Hero Quest the board game on
your home computer. It has been hard work, but now everyone
involved in this project is justifiably proud of their achievement.
For newcomers and Hero Quest veterans alike, we advise that you
read through both the game rules and the computer specific instructions first before attempting to play the game. Although this might
take a little time, it’s worth it.
CHRONICLES OF LORETOME
Heed well the words of Mentor, Guardian of Loretome, and I will tell
you of times past, of darker days when the empire was saved against
all hope. For I fear the darkness is about to return.
The fell legions of Morcar, Lord of Chaos, had swept all before them.
At the sight of the Black Banner and the massed hordes of Chaos,
even the bravest warriors of the Emperor had turned tail and fled, the
land was laid waste and all men despaired.
But then there came a mighty warrior Prince from the Borderlands
named Rogar the Barbarian. He bore a glittering diamond in his brow,
the Star of the West, as worn by the ancient kings of legend. Hope
returned and men flocked to his standard, leaving their hiding places
in the hills and forests. Other great heroes joined him, Durgin the
fearless dwarven warrior from the Worlds Edge Mountains. Ladril the
Elven fighter mage from distant Athelorn and Telor the Wizard whose
sorcery was to save Rogar on many occasions.
For many years Rogar trained his army, being careful to avoid open
battle with Morcar’s General until all was ready, but ever harrying
their supply lines, wiping out many Orcs and Goblins.
Then came the day for which Rogar had waited. His army had grown
strong and was well practiced. Camping on the high passes, Ladril
saw the Black hosts from afar and bade Durgin blow the call to arms
on his mighty horn. The armies of Rogar poured down upon the enemy
from two sides, and battle was joined. Many foul creatures and good
men perished that day. Yet, as the light of day faded it was Darkness
that fled the field. But the victory was not absolute. Morcar and his
general escaped beyond the sea of Claws, and even now they plot their
revenge.
Soon their plots will be ready and the Empire will have need of a new
Rogar. But where are the heroes to equal him? You have much to learn
if you are to become as great as Rogar and his companions. I will help
all I can. This book I carry, Loretome, was written when time began.
All that ever was and all that ever will be is recorded in it’s countless
pages. Through Loretome I may guide you, but I may not intervene,
lest a greater evil befall the World, and Chaos triumphs forever.
