Silverwolf

It is 5000 years ago in the west of England - then known as Abolan, and the inheritor of the civilisation, riches and magical knowledge of the mighty island continent of Caire ... the legendary Atlantis of myth and legend.

The country is ruled by the usurper Morven - or rather by the power behind the throne, her consort LORD FEAR.

The true heiress, Princess Mayanna, has been slain but her closest friends have travelled through time itself to bring her back to life in the form of her reincarnation - a shy retiring schoolgirl known as Petra Stone.

Before Petra can become Mayanna, she must drink from the "Cup of Memory" on the Sacred Mountain. For then and only then can the Princess's "alter-ego" be reborn. only then can Silverwolf be reborn! Only then, aided by the enchanted sword which is presently hidden in the great lake island, can Petra Stone become Princess Mayanna.

The group of friends splits into two smaller parties - Thunder and Uisce seek the sword whilst Rahiyana and Whirlwind take Petra to the Sacred Mountain.

However, all is not that simple, because the "Unholy Swarm" are hard on their heels and Lord Fear has given orders that they must be stopped at all costs. So both parties must caution haste with vigilance and ensure they avoid the "Unholy Swarm" at all times.

The Characters

The player can become any one of the four main characters and the different abilities of four characters will enable the player to make progress throughout the game. Each character's abilities will be called to a good use at different times - so choose which one to play wisely.

1. Rahiyana
   Known as the "Golden Archer', she is the leader of the four, an experienced warrior who is cool, thoughtful, dignified and somewhat humourless. She carries a golden bow which fires arrows of light - thunderbolts - which can dazzle any enemy, destroy creatures of "dark magic" and lighten the darkest night. She invokes the lightning by means of the cry "HAYA DYANA".
2. Thunder
   She stands over seven feet tall and possesses astonishing strength. She is gentle and good-humoured, but totally untiring in battle.
3. Whirlwind
   A young girl with uncanny speed of feet, she can outrace a galloping horse and her speed makes her extremely dangerous in a "sword fight". She is emotional and impetuous.
4. Uisce
   She is an "imp", an elfin "shape-changer", who can take on the form of any living thing. She is pert, lively and exceedingly quick thinking.

In either part of the game the player can become one or other of the four main characters. To do this simply type in BECOME THUNDER or BECOME UISCE and it will be done. The player can also change to another form when in the role of Uisce ... For example, to change to a squirrel simply type in TURN INTO A SQUIRREL when playing the role of Uisce. It is also possible to engage the other characters in conversation, so to do this simply type in whatever it is you wish to say in the following form ... "COME WITH ME" or "STAY HERE".
