In the module’s opening scene, you awake on a raging battlefield
to bear witness to your Prince’s dying words: “Tell the King that
she is dead.” Those seven fateful words mark the start of a journey that will propel you from the edge of a dying world into its
very heart. Questions abound and answers are few. Who is your
King and where will you find him? Who is this ‘she’ that your
Prince says is dead? Who were the men and women, all frozen corpses now upon that field of battle, whose uniform you
share? Most importantly, who are you and why did you alone survive?

Great News! We’ve improved our Automated Systems so that you can get product-specific Troubleshooting help more
quickly. All you need to do is enter the product’s Part # when prompted to do so. This will take you directly to all of our
known issues and solutions for this title. The product’s Part # is located in several places (on the CD label, package
and/or plastic disc case) and is usually identified by a number such as 04-12345. When prompted by the Automated
System, enter the last five digits of your product’s Part #. (For example, Part # 04-12345 would require that you
enter the “12345” portion of the number for that product.) Note: Some products simply feature a five-digit Part # without an “04-” prefix.
