The Nameless One

The Nameless One © 1999 Adventure Probe Soft.

Two-part adventure. It all began one evening when Arthur, the King, held court at Camelot. After the feasting, as the wine was drunk, when the air was filled with knightly voices boasting of knightly deeds, the doors suddenly burst open with a noise like thunder and a young man entered - a youth of such presence that the voices died upon the air.

Into the still silence the youth spoke. "My Lord King, I have come from a far land, from which my mother sends to you her greetings, this ring and a scroll. I have no name until the King shall give me one and no arms to bear save those that are in the bounty of the King.»

He handed the ring and the scroll to Arthur, who looked long upon the ring. The colour drained from his face and he whispered in the ear of Guenever, the Queen. Arthur read the scroll and then spoke. "I will arm you, Sir, of my favour - but you must prove yourself before I may name you. Take yourself, then, to the waste lands of Senaudon where the Princess, Blonde Esmeree, is captive - held under a magic spell. Return her to Camelot, and that which is lacking shall be yours. This is a duty that lowe to your lady mother: He ordered his Seneschal, Sir Kai, to see to the arms and turned again to his Queen, who comforted her stricken Lord. So was sown the seed which would lead to the end of the Table Round and to the death of Arthur, the King.
