You’re not sure where you’ve stumbled into, but you feel it wasn’t an accident. In the distance, you hear an animated voice talking to…you? As you come closer you see an eccentric old wizard and it becomes clear that you have in fact been the subject of his address.

“Rather quizzical isn’t it. Nay. Quixotic maybe. We haven’t seen a threat of this size in ages. And from whence does it come? Nary a clue. I worry for the preservation of the kingdom. At least in its current state. But I sense things may have to change if we persevere. Now more than ever the Old Throne is not what the people of this land need. Nay. In fact, they demand a system that serves all in its dominion. But alas, I am rambling aren’t I? No way to greet a weary traveler is it? Nay. I’m glad you’ve come, and not a second too soon. The kingdom needs you. Now listen carefully to what I’m about to say:

The danger is grave. We have no chance of stopping this curse entirely. Our only hope is to slow it down. With time, we can survive this. With enough time, perhaps we can flourish from it. But it will not be easy. I hold the key to vital resources, but unfortunately I’ve misplaced them, and I am too frail a diviner now to seek them. But that is why you are here: you must find them, and quick. There are 5 artifacts in need of discovery. But it is unfortunately not that simple. I have charmed them, and they will be revealed only if you can break my obscuring spells. But trust your wits, young adventurer! I offer my guidance:

-Fear not the outsider or the foreigner. Every great disaster to befell the realm has been blamed on him, but rarely has he been responsible.

-Take only what you need. Do not make the journey more difficult for those alongside you. There are few evils that a roll of privy scratch will save you from.

Now you must be off. Godspeed adventurer!”

As a practical note, this quest will be password operated, i.e. you will need to enter a password to move to the next phase. All passwords will be one word and lowercase. To get the hang of it, the first password that will bring you to the next page is “enter.”

As an additional note, you may want to play the game in multiple sessions. As such, I would encourage you to write down each password so you can quickly return to any point in the game. I’d also advise against saving passwords in iCloud Keychain(0r any other password saving service) because it may not be able to distinguish between the different passwords on this site and thus would prevent the game from working properly.
