Lands of Lore 1 Story

King Richard is the noble leader of the Lands. He resides in Gladstone Keep, the base of operations for all of the civilized areas. King Richard is worried about Scotia, a vile old hag who has recently acquired the Nether Mask, which is a magical item of extreme power and can now assume the shape of any living creature... or horribly unreal beast.

In the opening sequence, we see Scotia find the Nether Mask and start her plunderous reign of terror. Upon finding this out, King Richard gathers together his armies and directs you to go see Roland at his manor and retrieve the Ruby of Truth.

When you finally make it back to Gladstone Keep, it is too late. The battle has resulted in the poisoning of the King. And now it is up to you to find the ingredients of an elixir that will save King Richard, while simultaneously learning as much as possible about the Nether Mask in the hopes of defeating Scotia.
