Beginnings

The game begins on a dark and scary night… yes, I just said that! Anyhow… you begin the game with a scene of Stella running from vampires. When she comes upon a cliff with nowhere to go, she is pushed over the edge and falls. She is awakened from what was a recurring dream by our hero Mel. Mel wakes Stella and tells her that the king is waiting for them.

Mel and Stella then meet Edward, and the vampires Galahad and Te’ijal outside the King’s throne room. They all go in to speak to the king together. Edward asks his father how they can get to Naylith where they think the orb of light is hidden.

Naylith, however, is a land in the sky that only those with wings can reach. But the king and queen do know of a way and tell the group of adventurers to travel to Naylith Summit. Where is Naylith Summit you ask? Good question because finding the map is your first task. The king asks the group to retrieve his world map from his study.

To find the King’s map you need to head back down to the hallway and go to the very right of your screen. You should see a stairway there. Go up the stairs and you’ll be in the King’s quarters. The map is on the bookcase in the top room.

Now bring the map back to the king. The king tells you that you need to head north into Istir Forest and then turn right into the Northern Thial Mountains. Naylith Summit is in the Eastern part of the mountains.

Before you leave, the king asks Edward to take his sword Excalibur down from the wall. It is displayed on the wall where you came in. Go back to the hall and retrieve the sword. Return to the king.

Once you return to the king, you discover that you can place different gems in the hilt of the sword to change its properties. You begin with a Topaz gem. For more information about what each gem can do for Excalibur see the “Excalibur” section after the walkthrough

Once you leave the school, you need to go to the School of War and Magic to let your teacher know that you are going away for awhile. Professor Gray can be found on the top floor.

Once you find him, he tells you that he wants you to continue your studies while you are away. He reveals that there are special agencies around the world that can each teach you a special skill. To find these special agencies, you should look for buildings that are marked with a symbol of a tree.

After you visit Professor Gray, it’s time to leave the city and head north.

Brightwood Forest

Once you leave the city, you will find yourself in Brightwood Forest. From here you are to head north as soon as the path will let you, although it is worth exploring the area a bit as there are several bags of coins and a couple of chests to find.

There is also a secret cave in this area that will give you loads of gold, 6 bars of 100,000 coins each! For more information on the secret caves of Aveyond, see the section on “Aveyond Secret Caves.”

Monsters you will encounter are red and brown wolves, which should be no problem for your party to handle. You could spend this time gaining some valuable experience points though and racking up some money.

Istir Forest

You’re only in this section for a short time as you can’t yet travel to the west. Follow the path north and then east until you reach the northern Thial Mountains.

Thial Mountains (North)

The North Thial Mountains can be a bit confusing, but it is a good time to explore and gain experience points. There are a lot of treasure chests and bags of gold coins in this area so keep an eye out. There is also another secret cave that contains the best armor for your characters. For more information in, see the section on “Aveyond Secret Caves.”

Monsters you’ll encounter here include harpies and stormbirds.

Head to the north and then go east through the mountains, and you’ll eventually come to a doorway that leads to the dwarven town of Gheledon.

Gheledon

Once in Gheledon, you should see an inn. This is a good time to rest for 40 coins. Even if you don’t need to rest, enter the inn and grab the bag of coins that is in one of the rooms.

As you continue into the city, you should see an item shop. Here you can buy beast repellent and a level egg. Make sure you grab the level egg to increase your entire party’s level by 1.

There is also a special intelligence agency here in Gheledon. It’s in the north east corner and is marked by the symbol of a tree.

Here you can learn how to climb. But first, you must pass a test.

There is a series of rooms where items are displayed. You must find 5 items that match in order to pass the test. All together there are 8 matching items, so you simply need to go through the rooms and find the items that match. You can only pick up two items at a time and then you need to bring them back to the instructor.

Once you pass this test, Mel will learn how to climb.

When you are done in Gheledon, there is an exit in the northeast corner that leads to the eastern part of the Naylith Mountains. Travel to the east until you finally come to Naylith Summit.

There you discover a mysterious cave. In this cave it says that to open the way you have to find the quarter keys. There is a world map on the wall that marks where the quarter keys are. There is also a large carving of a raven on the wall. After looking at the map, you discover that one of the keys is in the Istir Forest.

Ok, so now that you know where the first key is, you can head back to Gheledon. Here you should stop off at the Dwarven mines to gain some valuable experience points, equipment, and coins.

You also may want to stop and pick up some sleeping amulets before you head out. Trust me, you are going to need them later.
