Revered Order Hierophant,
It is my pleasure to present to thee the first report
concerning my new duty station. I include a map of the
keep to familiarize thee with Seriss and its particulars.
My arrival has caused some agitation in the garrison —
but I prepared for that. I can assure thee that I have the
situation completely under control. The warriors must
learn to obey my orders and pay me the respect that I
deserve as the Commander of the Order Forces at this
post. In time, they will discover the importance of
Ethicality and Discipline, certis. To the best of my ability
I will instruct them more deeply in the virtues and aid
them with their internal conflicts. It honors me that my
superiors have entrusted me with this position. I am
dedicated to carrying out my orders and will meet all
expectations to perfection — as always.
Yours faithfully,
Isstanar
GARRISON
1
There are only three Order warriors left in this command. Since most of the labor is
performed by automatons, there is little for the human warriors to do around the
keep. All of them are eager for news about the battle that is raging at the front. Being
the new Commander of this post, I am their only source of information. They generally stay in their rooms and invent new trivialities to overcome the monotony in
their lives. However, I must admit that they work fairly well together.
Tsandar is now Subcommander of this outpost. My arrival seems to have upset him
and made him jealous. I believe he blames me for his demotion. He often discusses
and praises his former commander, Ardiniss, when I am not around. I anticipate
difficulties with this warrior.
Elissa is the Mage at this outpost, giving her rank equal to that of Tsandar. She considers the benefits of eternal life as an Order Automaton more and more often. I
believe she admires me. Perhaps, in time, she will be worthy to make the ultimate
sacrifice.
Surok is the Healer of the keep. He is much older than his companions and seems
weary of the discipline expected of him. I assume that seeing his friends die over the
last several hard years has made him bitter. He does not seem comfortable around
me, which probably has to do with my appearance. I hope to re-instill a sense of
duty in him soon.
DARK MONKS
Occasionally I overhear conversations between the warriors here in Seriss. They
often mention the names of three sorceresses, members of the Dark Monks — Rieya,
Solaria and Drusilla. From the information available to me at this point, I must
assume that these monks have great power.
They are not fond of the Order Forces; they believe in their own distinct prophecies.
These monks speak some drivel about destroying the “Pawn of Prophecy.” They
believe their victim will arrive here through the powers of the Amulet of Balance. I
don’t know what to make of all their prattle. I don’t think they are talking about our
hero, the Champion of Balance. If he ever arrives here, I will give him the magic Key
Ring as I have been ordered by thee, Calithiss, revered Order Hierophant.
The three monks haven’t caused the keep any trouble so far; therefore, I shall allow
them to remain in this area. Although I don’t trust them under any circumstances, a
treaty has been signed — they may each stay at the entrance of a different dungeon,
as long as they repulse any interlopers seeking that route into Seriss. I haven’t been
here long enough to know them well, but I plan on gathering more material for my
next report to thee.

Note: In this, and in all other maps, letters in
round-cornered boxes (
, ,
and so forth)
indicate the two ends of a stairwell. For example, on the map of the keep, marks a stairwell that leads from the ground level up to a
corner of the parapet.
Dangerous dungeons surround the keep.
Some were once part of the keep and became
what they are now after being abandoned.
Other dungeons belonged to the Forces of
Chaos. I have heard rumors of gruesome creatures in all of these areas.

SOLUTION

Basic Quest
You must obtain four Magic Orbs to get the Silver Seed and save Serpent Isle
from destruction. (For more information, see Magic Orbs (page 11) and notes
on specific areas in the solution.)
Use the titles to find the section of this walkthrough that you’re looking for. If you
want just a vague, sometimes cryptic hint, read only the bold-face introductory sentence. For full details, read the rest of the section. Material in parentheses at the end
of the section provides interesting information that is not necessary to solve The
Silver Seed.
WARNING:
Reading this solution will reveal all
important clues and may spoil the fun
of solving the game on your own.
