4 Welcome to the game of Larn. At this moment, you face a great problem. Your daughter has contracted a strange disease, and none of your home remedies seem to have any effect. You sense that she is in mortal danger, and you must try to save her. Time ago you heard of a land of great danger and opportunity. Perhaps here is the solution you need. It has been said that there once was a great magician who called himself Polinneaus. Many years ago, after having many miraculous successes, Polinneaus retired to the caverns of Larn, where he devoted most of his time to the creation of magic. Rumors have it that one day Polinneaus set out to dispel an attacking army in a forest some distance to the north. It is believed that here he met his demise. The caverns of Larn, it is thought, must be magnificent in design, and contain much magic and treasure. One option you have is to undertake a journey into these caverns. Good Luck!
