You are Prince Clovis, knight of the city of Gundobad and captain of your father's guard, King Gunderbrock XVI, ruler of Gundobad. You and your twin brother Lothar are the claimants to your father's estate. The time has come to decide which of you has the qualities required to become king. The first to find one of the crown gems of King Ossil the Bloodthirsty, founder of the city of Gundobad, will be proclaimed king! It will be you, you are sure. You set off on this long and perilous quest alone, and with the same equipment as all your ancestors: a horse and a sword.
