How it begins

You are Norman Thicket, a guy who always dreamt of adventure and fantasy. A strange old man overhears your wish and grants it. Now you are in Tarakania where an evil magician named Oswin has stolen the ritual treasures of an old monastery. It is up to you to defeat Oswin and reclaim the treasures.

But first, you must find the Merlin Bird, which the monks have hidden and Oswin fears, to prove your trustworthiness. You begin your quest outside the monastery gatehouse. You are wearing a shirt and a pair of jeans, and carrying nothing.
