How it begins
The game begins with a long quote about oppression attributed to King Solomon.
You are a man, carrying nothing, in the thatched hut that your father and his father built before the Curse. There are two beds: the large bed which you once shared with your wife before she disappeared, and your son Rykhard's bed which has been vacant for a week. A glass jar and a handwritten note are on the table between the beds. Perhaps you should read the note and find out what excuse Rykhard has for his long absence.
