King Richard is voiced by Patrick Stewart, who is simply marvelous. The game has speech and sound effects included. It is clear that when the team set out to make another RPG (after Eye Of The Beholder), they were aiming to create a masterpiece. The gameвЂ™s graphics are characteristic of Westwood - hand-drawn and very beautiful. Gameplay is mouse-based, which really makes the interface easy to use. After wandering beside the castle walls for a while, you find His Majesty and receive your orders: you must retrieve the Ruby of Truth from RolandвЂ™s estate in the South Lands.Дuring the game, you will team up with different characters in your quest to kill Scotia. Once you have selected your character, King Richard orders you to come to the throne room. You can choose between a magician, a fighter, and an assassin, or play as a warrior who is a mix of them all. Now more powerful than ever, she vows to make Richard pay.ДЄfter this short intro movie, the game prompts you to choose a champion to defend Gladstone and serve the king. Meanwhile, Scotia has also dug up a magical ring enabling her to transform into any shape she chooses. Richard is very disturbed by the news and is bent on destroying Scotia. He informs King Richard, ruler over Gladstone, that Scotia (an evil old hag) has found the Nether Mask. Rumors speak of a dark power, which the seer Draracle has predicted will destroy Gladstone and the White Alliance.ДЄn emissary arrives at the Keep.

Now the dark armies have gathered to attack Gladstone, a center for education and magic in the Lands, which has been staunchly defended by the White Alliance for three generations. Soon this malicious magic found a home within the Dark One, leader of the dark army, and a terrible union of chaos and destruction was forged. However, during the wars, magic had been set loose: magic unhealthy and nefarious. Ultimately acceptance and tolerance between the four dominant races led to peace and the formation of the White Alliance. Many cultures were annihilated during this period, which lasted for nearly a millennium. Uprisings began to spread across the Lands, plunging them into chaos. This was the time of the great travelers, but exploration meant racial wars. However, nature took its course, and the people began to regain some of their lost knowledge. The history of the Ancients soon became a myth and their reign a legend.

This was a dark period for the Lands, during which much knowledge was lost. Without a strong hand to guide them, they began to act according to their base instincts. This left the people unattended, and they began reverting to a more primitive state. No higher beings survived the war the Ancients succumbed. This was a war of dominance between the most powerful gods and would be known to history as the War of the Heretics. A terrible war gripped the Lands, a war born of awesome power and evil wills.

But the golden age would not last for long. There was no want, and the people lived in harmony, as the Ancients provided for all. During this time, the Ancients kept a steady peace. The age they ruled over was known as the golden age, as the Drakoid chronicles tell us. The Lands were once ruled by a race called the Ancients. But let's move on to the actual plot of the game. It delivers solid entertainment, with countless hours of fun and action. Lands of Lore, another gem from Westwood, is a fantasy RPG which follows the same path that the AD&D giants (Eye of the Beholder, Pool of Radiance, etc.) took to glory.
