Tale of Three Treasures

DISCLAIMER: I have a habit of feeling bad to invalidate a timeline variant so I just make really weird ways to merge the timelines together

The first part of this story comes from the 3 AGDI remakes of the first three King’s Quest games, and uses years before and after Graham’s coronation (BGC- before graham’s coronation and GC- graham’s coronation).

Due to a scientific revolution in the world that we call ours, humans, influenced by the words of intellectuals bound by their jealousy to those with magic, started to hunt magical beings to test their reality. All found solace in the wise and powerful mage Crispin, who vowed to find a solution. In 1695 BGC, using his magic, he was able to shift the axis of space (all worlds lie on a 2 dimension graph of time and space) and thus create a new world. To aid him to replenish civilization, Crispin drew magic from each star and personified it. He trained them all in magic, and they became The First Mages, from whom all the other mages (e.g. Manannan, Mordack, Hagatha, etc.) are descended from. He soon announced his prodigy, Legenimor, who was born from the North Star, as his successor and King of All the Land.

Legenimor ruled piously after Crispin’s retirement and created treasures to aid him in his rule, naming his serene kingdom, Serenia. This did not stop the other mages from harvesting their jealousy, and waging a war, known as the Grand War. After 715 years of violence, during which Legenimor’s general and younger brother Morgeilen (born from the little star next to the North Star) disappeared, Legenimor decided to end the war completely. In 980 BGC, he hid all his treasures and created one last one, a pair of hands made of emerald, which he held up, and through that, he relinquished his magic back to the heavens from which he was born.

Without his superpower, Legenimor was murdered and the war had finally come to an end. Before he died, Legenimor bewitched the crown of his kingdom to only fit the head of the true king, prompting the advisors to check the head of every figurehead in the court, until it finally fit the head of Grantithor, the farmer turned First Knight of Serenia. He was crowned king and aimed to rule with equality and justice for both the powerful mages as well as the helpless citizens harmed by the war. In honor of the citizens, he erected a well where the first tree in Serenia was planted, coincidentally by Grantithor’s father Dafa. He thus split the continent into half, keeping the western side as Serenia, and renaming the eastern side and the continent as Dafa’s tree, which became Daventry.

Grantithor’s many kids spread to new lands and founded new kingdoms, like Kolyma, Llewdor, Tamir, and more. He then decreed that if the king did not have any biological heirs, the throne should go to the First Knight if they prove worthy. To back up his decree, he married his eldest daughter to his First Knight,  born from the House of Cracker. Their descendants continued to be First Knights to the kings for centuries. The emerald hands, entitled The Item, alongside a green healing orb and the Chest of Gold, an everlasing chest always filled with gold, were buried with Legenimor, but stolen by the pirate, Saren.

In 900 BGC, Grantithor’s great-grandson, King John the Compassionate, accompanied by his second cousin, Sir Robin Cracker, defeated a bandit who, through a series of thefts stemming from Saren, obtained the Chest of Gold.

Legenimor gave his magic shield to the titan Oceanus for protection. Oceanus passed it on to his son, Asopus, who lended it to his daughter Aegina for protection from teh lust of Zeus. She was ultimately kidnapped by Zeus and given her own island, named Aegina, where she gave birth to Zeus’s son and teh first king of Aegina, Aeacus, who inherited the shield and passed it down to his son Peleus. Peleus married the Nereid Thetis, and they had Achilles, who inherited the shield. Achilles and his lover Patroclus were killed in the Trojan War, but were honored by naming the shield the Shield of Achille. For their valor in the Trojan War on the trojan side, Grantithor’s 16x great-grandson, Cassux, and his contemporary First Knight, Sir Polltor Cracker, were given the shield in 520 BGC.

Finally, Legenimor sent his friend Merlin back to our world, with the Magic Mirror, where Merlin died at the hands of his unreciprocated lover, Nimue. in 220 BGC, Grantithor’s 28x great-grandson, King Anthrovale, and his First Knight, Sir Gallevain Cracker, excavated the cave and found Merlin’s coffin, where they retrieved the Mirror.

The Crackers continued to serve the House of DeVentry as First Knight, until a romantic mixup in Llewdor years later...

Okay, MAJOR PLOT TWIST and now a major reason why I should check fandom-related Reddit more often:

Someone apparently scanned all three King’s Quest books and shared them here for free download: https://www.reddit.com/r/kingsquest/comments/873joq/is_there_a_way_to_get_the_90s_book_trilogy

I already bought my physical copy of the first book earlier today and waiting for that to come in, but for those who are interested in reading all three King’s Quest books (because the physical copies I’ve found online can be fairly pricey, esp. See No Weevil), you can check these out!!! Happy reading!

And yes, this means I’ll probably review all three books later this year after reading them. XD

A Land Beyond Dreams Rosella of Daventry inspired outfit I could write a lot about one of my childhood hero, princess Rosella of Daventry, and my favourite retro game franchise, the King's Quest franchise, but social media are not really practical for that. Even though King's Quest VI is my favourite game (in which you play with Alexander, Rosella's brother), King's Quest VII is the one I played the longest, mainly because I played the previous ones with my dad, but I played the VII with my youngest siblings, and those who have played the series know King's Quest puzzles aren't the most easy, especially not for a 9 year old child with no internet. But being able to play with a female character (you play with Rosella in KQ IV and VII) was really important for child Fanny, as most playable characters were male back then (and still today). I remember wanting to be like Rosella and go on dangerous adventures.

Welcome to Game-Ghost!

This is a blog for digging up, dusting off, discussing, and dissecting retro games with the overall goal of deciding if these games really belong in the gaming graveyard or if there’s still a little life left in them yet!

I have been enamored with retro games my entire adult life and have been trying to find a community on the internet that cares about these games the way I do for some time now. While there is plenty of discussion in way of reviews and articles, none of it seems to be either current or engaging with a fan community. So here I am! I hope that my posts will send you back for a hidden gem you’d missed and spark discussions between similarly impassioned geeks out there. 

I’m playing games that are 15+ years old and I tend to gravitate towards RPGs, Isometric games, Point-and-Clicks, and FMVs but am open to playing any sort of game, as long as I can get it to run on a modern PC and it seems worth playing.

I have lots of ideas for posts and I plan on getting the first one up very shortly. However, if there are any specific games that you would like me to cover, I’m all ears! I want to play the old game that you feel like ONLY you care about! Maybe I’ll play it and we can share that magic, too!

If you feel like checking my blog out, I will be following back anyone who follows me, for the time being!

In a world long ago there once was a young composer named Kevin Manthei. He scored cd-rom PC video games. Some of the highlights of those escapades was Shiny’s Sacrifice and Sierra On Line’s Kings Quest 8. If you’re lucky like me you may even find them at an estate sale near you! #shinyentertainment #sacrificethegame #kingsquest8 #kingsquest #sierraonline #videogamemusic https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UsT3whkTN/?igshid=rcoc2p8641dw
