Karyssia: Queen of Diamonds by Darren Shacklady and Robert Shacklady 1987

About the Story

The rightful heir to the throne of Arduarin, Loranin, son of Martere III, is in hiding in the southern regions of Tresduarin, sought by Karyssia's assassins. He has asked you to undertake a quest for him; simply to kill Karyssia. This will involve a long journey to the Royal Castle. You begin your adventure in the "Sword and Buckler" inn in Mottinan, the southern most town on Tresduarin. You must travel across the island, pass through Senduarin and travel to the far north to the Altivian Mountains. There, you will find the Royal Castle and within its walls, Karyssia.

Loranin's final words to you ring in your ears as you begin your quest: "Meet me at the cove and I will give you what little help I can. If you succeed, there is a fortune in it for you. Should you fail, it is unlikely that you will survive. Good luck". So, your quest is this: find the Royal Castle, enter it, kill Karyssia. You must first meet Loranin in the cove. Your quest will begin from there. So, you pay off the innkeeper with your last gold piece and set off on your adventure.
