Safety Warning

Photosensitive Seizure Warning

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that
may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive
epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these
seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the follow­ing precautions:

• Play in a well-lit room.

• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a

doctor before playing.

HHistory of the Kingdom of Ehb

Only three hundred years old, the Kingdom of

Ehb is one of the youngest states bordering
the Plain of Tears. First settled as a trading outpost on the fringes of
the Empire of Stars, Ehb later achieved temporary status as a military
protectorate and province when the 10
After the catastrophic War of Legions led to the collapse of the
Empire, the stunned province of Ehb was set on an irrevocable course
toward independence and kingship. Protected by a ring of superb
fortifi cations and heir to the 10
trained armies in the world—the Kingdom of Ehb has, so far, been
shielded from the raids and invasions that have devastated many of its
neighboring states on the Plain.

Within Ehb’s borders, there is an astonishing diversity in geography
and cultures. Most inhabitants worship Azunai, an ancient god of
the pre-Imperial Agallan Peaks. Dwarves and humans live together in
harmony and bow to the same king. Sorcerers are also more accepted
than in other countries, thanks in large part to the efforts of Merik,
Grand Mage and Warden of Shadows of the 10
the heart of the kingdom, a strange and often contrary race called
the Droog is allowed a degree of autonomy, despite its sometimes
troublesome alliances.

It is a country in search of an identity, caught between the glories of a
fallen past and the potential for an even greater future. Despite several
crises, Ehb has never fallen to an enemy. But at any time the course of
events could turn down a bleaker path.

Here’s a quick overview of what
you need to know as you set off on
your adventure. For a list of hotkeys,
see the back cover.

✦ To move your character, left-click a

location on the screen.

✦ To rotate the camera, move the

pointer to the edge of the screen.

✦ To zoom the view in or out, rotate the

mouse wheel, or press the minus (–) or
equals (=) key.

✦ To attack a creature, left-click it. You only

need to click once. You automatically fi ght back
if a creature attacks you.

✦ To use a weapon or spell, click one of the weapon or spell slots in

the Weapons Panel, beside the Character Portrait. The weapons you
use determine whether you develop your skills as a fi ghter, archer,
or mage.

✦ To equip a spell, click the View/Hide Inventory button beside the

Character Portrait to open your Inventory, and then right-click the spell
to equip it in your Spell Book.

✦ To drink a health potion from your Inventory, click the Drink Health

Potion button. To drink a mana potion from your Inventory, click the

Survival tips

✦ Watch your health level (red bar beside the Character

Portrait). If you’re wounded and your health level drops to
zero, you’ll lose consciousness and may die. Your health
level slowly recovers over time.

✦ Watch your mana level (blue bar beside the Character

Portrait). When you cast a spell, your mana level drops.
If you run out of mana, you can’t cast spells. Your mana
level slowly recovers over time.

✦ Save the game periodically. If you’ve just survived a big

battle or are about to enter an area that looks dangerous,
save the game. If you die, you can load the saved game
so you don’t have to start over from the beginning. To
quick-save a game, press F9.

✦ Pause the game. To avoid surprise attacks, pause the

game while you’re managing your Inventory or Spell Book.
To pause the game, press SPACEBAR or PAUSE.

✦ Keep your bearings. Use the compass and Megamap,

pay attention to natural landmarks, and follow the beaten
path.

✦ Avoid ambushes. You may be able to see creatures before

they notice you and attack. If you see a large group, be
sure you’re prepared for battle before you engage them.

✦ If you fl ee, remember to retreat. Don’t run into unex-

plored territory or you may be attacked by even more
creatures.

✦ Exploit your enemy’s weakness. If you’re battling a crea-

ture that must get close to strike you, use a bow or spell to
attack it from a distance. On the other hand, if a creature
attacks you with a bow, you might want to charge it with
a melee weapon.

✦ Use the best weapon for the situation. Melee weapons,

such as axes and swords, are effective in hand-to-hand
combat. Ranged weapons, such as bows, are effective
from a distance. Press Q to cycle through equipped weap­ons or use keys 1-4 as shortcuts for selecting your
weapon of choice.

✦ Use formations to protect weak party members. Keep

packmules and weak characters at the back of your party
or in the center of a formation.

Krug

For as long as anyone can remember, there
have been Krug. They peer from the darkness,
gaping at our mastery of fi re, terrifi ed by our
magic—their minds too dim to grasp what is
common sense to a child. Their culture is a
mosaic of traditions from other civilizations,

and they communicate primarily with grunts

and gestures. The Krug consider themselves

inferior to the mysterious and often feuding

gods who stride the earth, directing their des-

tinies. If not for the forbearance and mercy

of other races, the Krug might long ago have
become extinct. Although not inherently evil,

the Krug all too often are used as tools

of darkness. In exchange for their unquestion-

ing obedience, malevolent races sometimes

give them basic instruction in sorcery and tra-

decrafts—skills the Krug are incapable of devel-

oping on their own.

Just southwest of Stonebridge lies the Crypt

of the Sacred Blood—site of one of the bloodiest
battles of the Liberation, and the most honored burial place in all
of Ehb.

Interred there alongside the kings and queens of Ehb are the martyrs
of Azunai and the heroes, commanders, and grand mages of the

th

10

Legion, many of whom fell during the last days of the War of

Legions.

The site was consecrated with the blood of the 10th Legion soldiers
who sacrifi ced their lives to free Ehb during the Seck Rebellion. In
a single day of battle, nearly a quarter of the Legion’s forces died
fi ghting a hardened corps of Seck warriors. Surveying the corpses
strewn over the battlefi eld, Legion Commander Karese Noanni ordered
the site cleared and excavated for a crypt. “By my oath, they shall
be remembered and revered, or nothing we do hath a spark of honor
in it.”

There is no greater honor than to be laid to rest in this sacred ground,
and no greater duty than making a pilgrimage to pay respect to the
heroes lying within.

“From this day forth, all that is achieved
shall be purchased with the blood of these
valiant hearts.”

—Karese Noanni, 10

SStonebridge

When Imperial trader Etan Stonebridge

founded his town, it was little more than a
rough patch in the road south of Wesrin Cross. To most, it didn’t look
like much. But it was close to a shallow bay and an Azunite Shrine
of Passion that had recently been erected by Dwarven traders hailing
from the Agallan Peaks. The shrine was already a popular stopping
place for traders heading farther south, and it would likely attract
settlers if Etan could ensure the public peace. So, hiring passing
craftsmen, he began the laborious process of erecting a protective
village wall, while sending ridiculous sums of gold to infl uence and
support his old friends in the 2

Two years later, the village population of 20 marveled as two ancient
catapults, pulled by large teams of mules wearing the colors of

The catapults, Gravemaker and Godhammer,

had played critical roles in the history of the

Empire of Stars, and Stonebridge knew they
would lend his fl edgling community physical

and psychic protection. Furthermore, the mules
that pulled the catapults were among the tough­est bred in the 2
in short supply in the mountainous west. The

village soared to prominence in the region and

Managing your Inventory

When you pick up an item from the ground, it is added to your Inventory
and you carry it with you until you use it, sell it, give it to another
character, or drop it on the ground. Each item you pick up occupies
space in your Inventory. When your Inventory is full, you cannot carry
any more items; however, you can still right-click an item to pick it up.
For information about buying packmules to carry your excess items, see
“Adding a packmule to your party” in this manual.

To open your Inventory

✦ Click the View/Hide Inventory button beside the Character Portrait.

To open multiple Inventories

✦ Hold down CTRL, select the party members, and then press I. When

you’ve selected more than one character, each character’s Inventory
opens in reduced size.

To open all Inventories

✦ Click the Select Party button to select your whole party, then

press I.

When you point to an item in your Inventory, the item’s name and
description appear. The description shows the minimum and maximum

damage a weapon can infl ict (depending on how well the enemy creature
is armored) and, if it is a ranged weapon, how far it fi res.

The amount of gold you have is shown at the top of your Inventory. All
members of your party use gold from the same account.

To arrange your Inventory

✦ Click the Auto-arrange Inventory button at the top of your Inventory.

To drop an item or give it away

✦ Click the item in your Inventory and then click the ground or click

another character’s Character Portrait (or drag and drop the item to
the ground or to another character’s Character Portrait).

To drop an item directly to the ground

✦ Hold down CTRL and then click an Inventory item. If more than one

Inventory is open, the item moves to the next Inventory.

Note: When you drag a potion to the Character Portrait, it is placed in
that character’s Inventory; the character does not drink it.

Equipping weapons and armor

There are two types of weapons: melee weapons and ranged weapons.

✦ Melee weapons are used in hand-to-hand combat to stab, slash, or

bash the enemy. You hold a melee weapon in your hand while attack­ing. Common melee weapons include axes, clubs, swords, daggers,
hammers, maces, scepters, scythes, and staffs.

✦ Ranged weapons are used to attack from a distance by fi ring a

projectile. Common ranged weapons include bows, crossbows, and
fi rearms. Bows never run out of arrows.

✦ Armor reduces the amount of damage you suffer during battle. There

are various types of armor, including body armor, shields, helmets,
boots, and gloves, all of which are made from a variety of materials.
In general, the harder the armor, the more protection it offers.
Some items are imbued with magical properties that offer additional
protection. You cannot wield shields simultaneously with two-handed
weapons; however, equipped shields will still provide magical bonuses
when you are using two-handed weapons.

Before you can use weapons, spells, armor, and other items, you must
equip your character by placing the items in the Equipment Panel (to
the lower-left of your Inventory). If you pick up a melee weapon, ranged

18

weapon, or armor and don’t already have that type of item equipped,
it automatically equips so you can use it immediately. However, spells
do not auto-equip when you pick them up. For more about this, see
“Equipping spells” in this manual.

wwesrin Cross

The lonely ruins of Wesrin Cross bear silent
witness to some of the darkest hours of Ehb’s

turbulent history.

Originally constructed as an inn by Fiola Wesrin, the building was
heavily fortifi ed when the 10
same time, the path through the Green Ridge hillside was moved
to an underground tunnel to restrict the passage of people and
goods. During the War of Legions, the Seck briefl y occupied the
fortress, where they housed droves of Guild spiders. Although the
subterranean confi nement pens were torn out after the 10
reoccupation, a magical homing taint remains to this day and contin­ues to attract the descendants of the Seck-controlled Arakun spiders.
Despite the best efforts of successive mages throughout Ehb’s history,
no one has been able to break the spell that attracts the spiders.

Equipping spells

When you pick up or buy a spell, it is placed in your Inventory. Before
you can cast the spell, you must have a Spell Book equipped, and then
you must add the spell to the Spell Book.

You can carry multiple Spell Books in your Inventory, but only one can
be equipped at a time. Each Spell Book can contain 12 spells. Spells in
the fi rst two spell slots are equipped and appear in the spell slots beside
the Character Portrait. You cannot add multiple copies of the same spell
to the same Spell Book. Some spells require that you reach a certain Skill
Level in either Nature or Combat magic before you can cast them.

To equip a Spell Book

✦ Drag a Spell Book from your Inventory to the Equipment Panel (to the

lower-left of the Inventory).

To add a spell to your Spell Book

✦ Right-click the spell or drag it to your

Spell Book.

To remove a spell from your Spell Book

✦ Drag the spell from your Spell Book Panel

back to your Inventory.

There are two types of spells: Nature and
Combat. When you cast each type of spell, your
Nature magic or Combat magic skills increase. As
you become more skilled at using magic, the
spells you’ve learned become more powerful.

You cannot directly attack other party members
with offensive spells. You can cast benefi cial
spells, such as Healing Hands and Resurrect,
upon other party members.

Nature Magic

Nature mages dole out damage with pinpoint accuracy, which minimizes
danger to bystanders and the nearby terrain. They are masters of spells
that support and enhance the members of your party, and they are
invaluable where brute force alone cannot prevail. A few of the spells that
beginning Nature mages can use are:

Zap

Arcs a small bolt of electricity from the spell caster
to injure an enemy creature.

Combat Magic

Combat mages are masters of destruction, who can wreak havoc on wide
areas. They are also capable of wielding powerful spells that enhance the
party. A few of the spells that beginning Combat mages can use are:

Fireshot

Hurls a small globe of fi re at an enemy creature.

Healing Hands

Heals the injuries of a single character. The amount
of healing is based on the spell caster’s Skill Level.

Magic Armor

Creates a shell of magical energy that increases a single char­acter’s armor rating for protection against all types of attack.

Spark

Sends forth two small, high-speed globes of electricity
that track and injure an enemy creature.

Resurrect

Restores the life of a dead character. The higher the dead charac­ter’s Skill Level, the greater the amount of mana required to
perform the resurrection.

Leech Life

Heals light wounds by drawing life from an enemy creature.

Firespray

A more powerful version of Fireshot, in which several globes of
fi re fan out from the spell caster’s hand.

Summon Gargoyle

Summons a gargoyle of living rock that
guards the caster.

Weaken

Instantly causes an enemy creature
to age and atrophy, thus reducing
the amount of damage it can infl ict
in battle.

was fi rst recorded in the journals of famed

Agallan cartographers Fedwyrr and Klars, who noted a network
of cramped caverns winding through miles of mineral-bearing rock.
The caverns provided the only means of traversing the Green
Range and passing between the eastern and western halves of the
kingdom.

Exploratory shafts dug in the eighth century revealed the presence of
iron, which drove Imperial traders to push harder for Droog trading
concessions. Later, the discovery of gold and coal fueled the expansion
of the early kingdom, and mine shafts shored up the unpredictable
interior of Mount Frostspire.

Almost daily, miraculous discoveries are unearthed with each cartload
of gold ore, some of which shatter long-held notions about the lands
and people of Aranna. In a section known as the Wyrm’s Hole,
miners excavated the spine of a creature three-quarters of a mile long
that terminated in a skull the size of three hay wagons. Elsewhere,
the sound of an underground waterfall thunders through the lower
chambers, though no one has ever found its source.

In addition to the natural wonders of the Glitterdelve, elevators and
conveyors move miners and materials between levels with astonishing
rapidity. Sluices running with ice-melt from Glacern provide fresh
drinking water and a means for separating gold from the rocky silts.
Even the circulation of air is maintained by a series of magically
powered fans engineered to prevent the build up of explosive vapors
like those that triggered the Great Blast of 943.

Increasing your skills

Your character develops into a fi ghter, archer, Nature mage, or Combat
mage, depending on the weapons you use. Each time you kill a creature,
your skill with a particular weapon increases. You can develop skills in
more than one area. For example, if you use both a sword and a bow,
your character will develop both melee skills and ranged skills and will
become either a fi ghter or archer, depending on the highest Skill Level.

✦ Melee Skill. Using melee weapons, such as swords, axes, or maces

develops your melee skill and you become a fi ghter.

✦ Ranged Skill. Using projectile weapons, such as bows, develops your

ranged skill and you become an archer.

✦ Nature Magic Skill. Casting Nature magic spells develops your Nature

magic skill and you become a Nature mage.

✦ Combat Magic Skill. Casting Combat magic spells increases your

Combat magic skill and you become a Combat mage.

To view your skills

✦ Click the View/Hide Inventory button

beside the Character Portrait. The
Inventory Panel opens displaying the
Character Panel. The gray progress
bars in each skill indicate how far
you’ve advanced toward the next Skill
Level. When you achieve a new Skill
Level, a message appears on the screen
and the Level column of the Skills
Panel is updated.

Character attributes

The skills you develop determine your character’s attributes. Magic weap­ons, armor, or other items you’ve equipped can also (positively or
negatively) affect your character’s attributes. Attributes are shown in blue
if they are increased due to a magic item and are shown in red if they
are decreased.

✦ Strength determines a character’s physical power. Strength increases

with melee skill. It lets you use larger weapons and wear heavier
armor, and it provides a damage bonus during melee combat. Some
armor and weapons require that you have a certain level of Strength
before the character can use the item.

✦ Dexterity determines a character’s agility and aiming accuracy. Dex-

terity increases with ranged skill. It lets you aim weapons more
accurately and provides an armor bonus.

✦ Intelligence determines a character’s mental aptitude. Intelligence

increases when you use Nature magic and Combat magic spells and
lets you draw mental energy from a larger pool of mana when you
cast spells. Some items require that you have higher Intelligence to
use them.

✦ Melee Damage shows the minimum/maximum damage infl icted when

you attack with the currently equipped melee weapon. This value is
based on your Strength and the equipped weapon’s damage rating.

✦ Ranged Damage shows the minimum/maximum damage infl icted

when you attack with the currently equipped ranged weapon. This
value is based on the ranged weapon’s damage rating.

✦ Armor Rating shows your resistance to damage in battle before health

declines. The higher this value, the more damage you can absorb.

Unconsciousness and death

Your health level decreases when you’re wounded in battle, however, you
slowly heal when you’re no longer sustaining injuries. Your health is
instantly restored when your skill increases or when you drink a health
potion or use a healing spell. The color of the Character Portrait indicates
the state of your health.

✦ Wounded. When your health is reduced to one-third of maximum,

your Character Portrait turns yellow. If you’re engaged in battle,

you should immediately heal yourself or fl ee, or you may become
unconscious and possibly die.

✦ Unconscious. When your health drops to zero, your character becomes

unconscious and the Character Portrait turns red. If you’re the only
character in your party, the game ends and you must restart or load a
saved game. If there are other conscious humanoid characters in your
party when you become unconscious, you fall to the ground but the
game continues. You retain all of your possessions but cannot open
your Inventory or drink health potions. You can wait for your health to
gradually regenerate or another character can heal you with a healing
spell.

✦ Dead. When your character dies, the contents of your Inventory scatter

on the ground so the other members of your party can pick them up. If
you die, another character can resurrect you with a resurrection spell.

Goblins

Since the founding of this kingdom,
what creature hath plagued us more
than that foul nemesis we name
Goblin?! Goblins have long warred

against the good folk of Ehb. From their
stronghold in the fetid swamps of Gon­siir, Goblins have plotted unceasingly to
drive humanity from Western Aranna.
Ingenious artifi cers of magic, Goblins
have created many mechanisms of
death and mayhem, and it is said
they gleefully provided their services to

hasten the fall of the ancient Empire of

Stars. Thankfully for Ehb, their enmity

for each other is nearly as legendary

as their hatred for humanity. Constant

blood feuds within their confederacy

have thus far prevented them from

posing any serious risk to the welfare

of the kingdom.

GGlacern

The fi rst Imperial visitors to this snow-swept

northern town reported fi nding a lone statue
of a human warrior, bearing a nameplate that read only ‘Glacern.’ The
statue emanated magical warding. Because neither Droog nor Krug
would venture near the statue, the natural protection it offered made
early settlement easier in the otherwise harsh surroundings. Although
the statue has been subjected to much magical scrutiny, its origins
remain a mystery and are a source of continuing curiosity to mages
across Ehb.

With the establishment of mining and trade in the region, Glacern’s
Stone Tower was erected as a way station for messengers and couri­ers. Defended by Ibsen Yamas and a small band
of traders and 10
played a pivotal role during the affair of the
Goblin Pretender. The town’s fortifying walls
were erected to prevent Yeti from the ice
caves from wandering into town seeking
food. The other buildings in Glacern pro­vide shelter, goods, and
supplies for travelers
moving between the east­ern and western halves of
the kingdom.

Talking to other characters

You will meet a variety of characters as you travel through the Kingdom
of Ehb. Some may provide you with information or assign you a quest,
some may offer to join your party, and some may offer to sell you
weapons, armor, and other items.

To talk to a character

✦ Point to a character. If you can talk to the character, the pointer

changes to a bubble with an exclamation mark (!) in it. When you see
the exclamation point, click on it to speak with the character.

Pursuing quests

Some of the characters you meet assign you quests, such as escorting
them to a town or fi nding a person or item. When you receive a new
quest (or complete an existing quest), your Journal is updated.

To display the Journal

✦ Click the Journal button on the status bar.

The Journal lists your current and completed quests in the order you
received them, with a brief description of the quest and the name of the
character who gave it to you. To replay spoken dialog to refresh your
memory of a quest, click the Show Dialog button in the Journal.

Adding a character or packmule to your party

Some characters that you meet may offer to join your party and some
may offer to do so for a certain amount of gold. Characters who demand
gold for their services are typically skilled fi ghters, archers, or mages who
are useful in battle and may be worth the money. You can also add
packmules to your party to carry excess inventory. Packmules have large
inventories and can carry much more than human characters. You can
buy packmules from mule traders in some towns.

To add a character to your party

✦ Talk to a character. If he or she offers to join your party, click Accept

or Decline.

28

31

If you don’t have enough gold to hire a character, collect more by
adventuring or selling excess items from your Inventory. When you have
the required amount of gold, talk to the character again.

To add a packmule to your party

✦ Talk to a mule trader and then click Buy Packmule.

Dismissing a character from your party

Your party can include up to eight characters. If there are already eight
characters in your party, you must dismiss one of the existing members
before a new character can join. You might also dismiss a party member
who is not contributing adequately in battle. Before dismissing a party
member, you may want to distribute the character’s Inventory to the
other members of your party.

There must be at least one human or humanoid character in your party;
for example, you cannot have a party consisting only of packmules.
If your character dies, you can disband all but one of the human or
humanoid characters
remaining in
your party.

Droog

The original inhabitants of the land
of Ehb, the Droog believe they are
descended from the heavens and were
banished to the earth to atone for the
misdeeds of their forefathers. A reclu­sive race, the Droog live in homes dug
into the Cliffs of Fire. Annoyed by an
infl ux of Imperial, Goblin, and Seck trad­ers making unreasonable demands for
their goods, the Droog Circle of the First
devised a scheme to set the other races
against each other. The Droog promised
to trade goods to multiple buyers and
then claimed that they could not recall
to whom the goods actually belonged.
As planned, instead of turning on
the Droog, the Imperials, Seck, and Gob­lins fought violently among themselves,
sparking a war that raged across the
Green Range for years.

To dismiss a character from your party

✦ Click the character to dismiss and then click the Disband Party

Member button.

The Character Portrait of the dismissed party member is removed from
the screen and the character no longer travels with your party. If you want
the character to rejoin your party later, talk to the character again.

Buying and selling items

There are various shops throughout the
land where you can sell items you’ve found
during your adventure. You can also buy
weapons, armor, potions, spells, and other
items. A store may have new items in stock
if you haven’t shopped there for awhile.

To browse a shop’s wares

✦ Left-click a shopkeeper, click Shop, click

the category of items you want to view
(armor, weapons, etc.), and then point
to an item to display its description and
cost.

Some items can only be used by char-

acters that have particular Strength, Dex­terity, Intelligence, or Skill Levels. For
example, an item that requires “Strength 12” can only be used by a
character whose Strength is 12 or higher. This requirement is shown
in red if a character lacks the skill to use the item.

To buy or sell an item

✦ Drag the item from the store to your Inventory, or vice versa. Gold is

deducted from or added to your Total Party Gold.

If you don’t have enough gold to buy an item, you cannot select

it. Items are the same price regardless of whether you’re buying or
selling. For example, if you buy a sword for 10 pieces of gold and then
change your mind, you can sell it for 10 pieces gold. This is true as
long as you are shopping. Once you close the Shop panel, the value of
your weapons can depreciate

FFortress Kroth

Built by the Seck to repel Droog aggression

following the Great Relocation, Fortress Kroth
is the only remnant of Seck architecture in the kingdom.

During the Seck Rebellion, the 10
which the surviving Seck leaders had taken refuge. Legion commander
Noanni offered generous terms for peace, only to have the severed
heads of slain Legionnaires rain down from Kroth’s walls. The 10
destroyed the fortress and seized the surviving leadership. After a
swift trial, they were found guilty of 20 counts of treason and
formally executed at a promontory of judgment known as Dragon’s
Rathe.

Although the fortress has been intermittently occupied by Legion
detachments for centuries, it is still very much haunted by its original
occupants. Strange lights are rumored to be seen in the western
guard towers, and human screams are said to come from the Hall
of Skulls—a terrifying echo of the horrors committed during the brief
rebellion.

Managing your party

Your party can include up to eight characters. All characters in the party
move together at the same speed, regardless of their race or class. For
example, human characters and packmules move at the same speed.

To select a single character

✦ Click the Character Portrait or the character.

To select (or deselect) multiple characters

✦ Hold down CTRL and then click each character or Character Portrait,

or drag the pointer around a group of characters. When multiple party
members are selected and an action such as opening a door, breaking
a barrel, or talking to someone is initiated, the party member with
the circle beneath them will be the one to perform the action. This
will be the member that was selected fi rst when selecting multiple
characters.

To select your entire party

✦ Click the Select Party button.

Setting movement, attack, and targeting orders

The Field Commands let you control how a character moves, attacks,
and targets enemies during battle. The settings you select determine the
character’s default behavior. If you directly order a character to attack,
you override the default settings and the character attacks. You can set
different orders for each character in your party.

To select a character’s attack behavior

✦ Select one or more characters, click the View/Hide Field Commands

button, and then select the movement, attack, and targeting orders.

✦ Engage. Default setting. Characters engage in battle but remain in the

vicinity of where they were last ordered to move.

✦ Hold Ground. Characters remain in position and cannot initiate an

attack, but they can fi ght back. If you order an attack, the character
then remains in the new location.

Attack orders

Attack orders control how characters attack during battle.

✦ Attack Freely. Characters are free to attack enemy creatures.

✦ Defend. Default setting. Characters cannot initiate an attack but can

✦ Target Closest. Default set-

ting. The character targets the
closest enemy in view.

✦ Target Weakest. The character

targets the weakest enemy in
view.

✦ Target Strongest. The character targets

the strongest enemy in view.

Moving your party in formation

When there are several characters in your party, you can use formations
to control how they arrange themselves in battle. For example, you might
want all party members to follow your strongest fi ghter.

When the party engages in battle, each character’s behavior is deter­mined by the Field Command settings. For more information, see “Set­ting movement, attack, and targeting orders” in this manual.

To select a formation

✦ Select the characters you want to include in the formation, then click

one of the formation pattern buttons.

The characters move into formation based on the order of their Character
Portraits. The formation leader’s Character Portrait is at the top of the
screen, and the other party members fall into position to the left and
right of the leader. The circle with the arrow inside it indicates the
leader’s position.

To change the order of party members

✦ Click and drag the Character Portraits into a different order. (A

character portrait will turn green when you click on it and hold the
mouse button down, indicating that you can drag it to a different
position.)

To change the formation spacing

✦ Select your party, hold down the right mouse button, and then rotate

the mouse wheel.

To rotate a formation

DDragon’s Rathe

Just beyond the walls of Castle Ehb is a great

blackened crevice where the worst criminals in
the kingdom are sentenced to death. This tradition goes back to the
ancient Droog practice of sacrifi cing lawbreakers in hope that their
gods would reduce the Droogs’ sentence of exile and call them back
to the heavens.

Later, the kings and queens of Ehb adopted the Rathe as their favorite
method of execution, as it allowed prisoners a slim chance of escape if
their guilt was in doubt. Given a sword, a bag of gold, and sometimes
a shield, a criminal was escorted to the Rathe to face old Scorch,
the fi ve-hundred-year-old dragon. If the criminal slew the dragon, he
was free to leave the Kingdom with all that he could carry from the
dragon’s lair. Otherwise …

Only once in the history of the Kingdom has anyone survived—and
that was on a technicality. Hurggis Bogg limped from the hole with
singed hair, a fi stful of gold, and a missing left eye. But he had slain a
dragon … a lame, four-day-old hatchling that would not have survived
to adulthood. To this day, “the luck of Hurggis” refers to someone

who’s been very lucky but at

high cost.

Playing a multiplayer game

Dungeon Siege provides multiplayer gaming for up to eight players. You
can connect across the Internet, on a network (local area network or
LAN), or through ZoneMatch™.

In a multiplayer game, non-player characters (NPCs) from the single
player game cannot join your party, and creatures and treasure reappear
if you leave the game and later return to an area you’ve already explored.
Teams or individuals can compete against each other for the number of
kills (monsters, players, or a combination of both).

Note: If Allow players to pause the game is selected in the Game
Settings, the game pauses for all players when one player pauses a
multiplayer game.

Joining or hosting a multiplayer game

To create a multiplayer game that others can join, you need a host. The
host creates a multiplayer game and selects the game settings. The host’s
computer acts as the server for the game; therefore, if you’re playing
with friends, the person with the fastest computer should host the game.
If the host exits, the game ends. The host can also eject players from
the game.

To join a multiplayer game

1. Click Multiplayer on the Main menu.

2. Select the appropriate type of connection:

✦ ZoneMatch lets you connect to an Internet server where Dungeon

Siege players meet to chat and play. To join a ZoneMatch game,
click the Games List button, click a game in the list, and then
click Join Game.

✦ Internet lets you connect across the Internet directly to a host

computer through an IP address. To join an Internet game, enter
the IP address of the player hosting the game, and then click

To disable password protection on a multiplayer game

✦ Click the Change Game Password button (in Game Settings), remove

your game password from the Change Game Password box (leaving
it blank), click OK to confi rm the change, then click Accept to exit

Game Settings.

Map Settings

The host selects the map and world diffi culty settings in the Staging
Area. The maps are the locations in which the session is played. The
world diffi culty selected by the host varies the strength, experience, and
inventory of monsters. It also increases the interactive content, such as
containers, shops, and quest items.

✦ Regular–No minimum level requirement. This is multiplayer at the

normal level. The monsters are of the same strength and skill as in
single player mode.

✦ Veteran–Requires a minimum skill level of 54. The monsters’ skill

and strength are increased above Regular level.

✦ Elite–Requires a minimum skill level of 83. The monsters’ skill and

strength are even higher than Veteran level.

Once the host launches the game, the world diffi culty cannot be adjusted.
However, the Game Settings diffi culty still applies, so the host can adjust
that as needed.

CCastle Ehb

Not far from the Droog Cliffs of Fire stands

Castle Ehb, deemed the only impenetrable
castle other than the legendary Palace of Night in the Empire of the
Stars. Designed by 10
of solid granite and commands a view for miles in all directions.

Originally occupied by the soldiers of the 10
now the principal residence of the crowned ruler of the Kingdom of
Ehb. The Legion command staff is quartered below the palace levels of
the royal family, and in the deepest levels of the castle, prisoners of
various stripes serve their sentences in the bleak, lightless dungeons.

Like most castles, Ehb has its share of secrets. It is riddled with
hidden passages and bandit holes—and few know where all of the
corridors lead. Stories abound of lost chambers that, once located,
can never be found again. Some believe these are ghost rooms, left
over from renovations to the castle over the centuries. Others, mostly
sorcerers, believe the lost chambers bear the hallmarks of complex
confusion spells.

Hidden deep in the castle is the Chamber of Stars. Under penalty
of death, only the king, queen, or grand mage of the 10
may enter this mysterious chamber, which is rumored to house
exotic magical artifacts brought back from the
War of Legions—some of which are said to
be more powerful than even the greatest
sorcerers can fathom.
