IN THE ORIGINAL UNICRON ADVENTURE, YOU WERE A BRAVE WARRIOR FROM A DISTANT LAND COME TO THE LAND OF CADANIA. HERE YOU WERE ASKED BY KING ANGLUND, THE RULING KING OF THE TIME, TO FIGHT A FORCE KNOWN ONLY AS "SECTON". HE WOULD MAKE IT HARD FOR YOU, ONLY GIVING YOU A BOAT AFTER FINDING HIM THE "COIN OF KINGS". THIS BOAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT COULD GET YOU TO SECTON'S LAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE COIN OF KINGS WAS A FAR GREATER MAGIC ITEM THAN ANY BEFORE AND MADE KING ANGLUND "SECTON". HE HAD ONE WEAKNESS, THE CRYSTAL OF KINGS, NOW HIS LIFE FORCE. GOING TO SECTON'S LAIR, YOU DESTROYED THE CRYSTAL, SECTON, AND THE COIN. THE PEOPLE SO REJOICED THAT YOU WERE APPOINTED KING AND RULED FOR MANY YEARS IN PEACE.
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED...
CADANIA BECAME PROSPEROUS AND GOT BIGGERAND BIGGER. IT BECAME A TOURIST RESORT AND PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL OVER RIMULDAR TO SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE. A NEW TOWN SPRUNG UP. MOUNTAINS WERE LEVELED WITH MAGIC TO MAKE ROOM FOR MORE ROADS. ROADSWERE PAVED ALL ACROSS THE LAND. TREES WERE DESTROYED...
TREES WERE DESTROYED...
THIS WAS NOT GOOD. CADANIA'S BIGGEST RESOURCE, THE LACORN TREE, USED TO BE ABUNDANT. THE THOUSAND-TREE FOREST WAS MADE ENTIRELY OF LACORN TREES. NOW THEREIS BUT ONE LEFT.
THIS CAUGHT SOMEONE'S EYE...
DEATH'S EYE...
HE SAW THAT THERE WERE NO MORE TREES WHEN HE GLANCED FROM HIGH OVERHEAD. HE THOUGHT JOYFULLY, THIS WILL BE EASY. THEY ARE ALREADY KILLING THE TREES.
NOW I SHALL KILL THEM...
THE ONLY HOPE OF THE CADANIAN KINGDOM ISTO CALL UPON THAT GREAT WARRIOR WHO DESTROYED SECTON'S EVIL.
IF THOU SHALT REMEMBER...
THAT WARRIOR WAS YOU...
YOU MUST NOW BANISH DEATH FROM YOUR KINGDOM, BUT HOW IS SUCH A TASK TO BE DONE. REREAD THE STORY ABOVE WORD FOR WORD AND YOU MAY FIND A CLUE. TWO WORDS MAY HELP YOU...
GLANCED...
AND
NO...
