three-dimensional view of the world, which is
presented in the main part of the screen. The
game can be controlled solely by mouse, or with
the help of keyboard shortcuts.

Basic character movement and
selection
Character movement and selection of interactive
spots is done using the mouse or the keyboard. If
using the mouse, the following two rules apply:
•
Left-clicking the mouse button SELECTS
the object (item, exit, character) under the
current cursor position, enabling you to perform
actions with it
•
Right-clicking the mouse button directs the
character to
WALK (or RUN , if the spot is far
away) to the desired spot.
You can also move the character using the
keyboard. Refer to the key mappings section for
more detail.
Interactive objects
You can interact with any active objects in the
environment (exits, props, characters). When you
move the mouse cursor (arrow) over an interac-
tive object, the cursor will change to indicate a
possible action. If notthe cursor does not change,
that object is not interactive at the moment (but
might be at a later time).
Interface functionality
The control part of the interface is divided into
two sections. The upper part provides tools
(icons) for adventuring (search, dig, pick locks,
etc.), combat control, and spellcasting, while the
lower part provides the utility belt (which
contains items and harvesting gems), as well as
indications of health, stamina, and game lengh.
The four gargoyles in the corners of the screen are
quick shortcuts to the
character sheet, map,
inventory, and the quest log/journal
.
You select any function of the main user interface
by left clicking on the required icon. When the
character sheet, inventory, or quest log options
are selected, their respective windows appear
over the screen.
The last peasant revolt against the Church
occurred in the northeastern realms of Carniola in
1978. After the clash between the peasant force
and the Church army, the peasant leaders retreat-
ed to the edge of the Fog. When the scouts
reached their camp, they found no survivors -
except for a raving old man and a crying baby. The
Church soldiers delivered the baby boy to a local
orphanage. The nuns of the orphanage named the
baby Isador - after a local saint, renowned for his
good deeds. At the age of 18, Isador leaves the
orphanage.
Driven by a strong desire to serve God, which had
saved him from the horrors of the Fog, he enrolls
in the Church army corps. During his training in
the south of Spain, Isador comes into mortal
danger, but saves himself by using magical powers,
hidden until this point. He is transferred to the
magic academy of Athens, where he is trained by
the Church liturgical sorcerers, and attains the
rank of brother Inquisitor - a kind of sorcerer
monk order that serves as a special force for
solving the more delicate problems of the church.
