Fabularnie jednak nie ma tu żadnego wątku, zadania ani żadnego sposobu czy nawet powodu do pokonania megasmoka.

Chciałbym dowiedzieć się więcej o wątku grobu Mistrza Kelwina/Kelvina/Ashwara Nog'Nogotha. Ten fragment gry wydaje mi się bardzo mglisty i niejasny.

- Przede wszystkim - kim był ten "Mistrz"? Mistrzem nekromantów? Dlaczego znalezienie jego grobu jest awansem na Ninję?
- Jak się on w końcu nazywał? Kelwin czy Ashwar?
- Czy wiadomo kiedy żył? Wiem, że na pewno było to przed przejęciem Harmondale przez Rockwina II, który rozbudował zamek o lochy i salę tortur... w których przeprowadzał dochodzenie co do położenia grobu Mistrza. Więc ten gość już pewnie musiał dawno nie żyć, skoro zapomniano o miejscu jego pochówku.
- Skąd Stephen Sand mógł wiedzieć o położeniu grobowca - czyżby miał coś wspólnego z Rockwinem?

Journal Entry 2nd of January 1057

The Sun guides my feet upon the path to truth

I have been sent by the Grand Temple on a recruitment drive to Tatalia. We hope to bolster our faith and swell our ranks. The disciples of the Moon are moving on some great plan. May the Sun stop them in their darkness..." Tatalia

Journal Entry 19th of September 1057

The Sun guides me and protects me from falsehood

I have travelled to Deyja to see for myself the vile repercussion of the deeds of the Necromancers. There are rumors that they have been working with the followers of the Moon. This cannot be, as their combined power would be unstopable. May the Sun lead me from the darkness..." Deyja

Journal Entry 23rd of April 1058

May the Sun light my path and guide me this day.

We received word today that the Temple of the Moon has dispatched an armed force to Nighon. It has been decided that I will lead some of my brothers in an attempt to stop what ever vile deed they plan. May the Sun shine upon us and end this war as soon as possible. The battles in the north have sundered the plains of Bracada. If we continue with this war we may destroy the very land we are trying to save..." Grand Temple of the Sun

Journal Entry 30th of June 1059

May the Sun illuminate the truth and rend the darkness.

The Circle of Stone here in Nighon is no more. We, in our attempt to stop the followers of the Moon, have aided in the destruction of that which we were sent to protect. Only a few brothers remain. We will attempt to return to the Grand Temple of the Sun. If this journal is found, it means we were unsuccessful. Its is my hope that those who read this will understand that we meant no harm. We only sought to protect. May the Sun guide our steps through the darkness ahead..." Nighon in chest

Journal Entry 11th of December 1059

May the Sun smite the darkness and reveal the truth

We have made our way to the Downs. All has changed. Ghosts and Gog's over run the area. Brother Peter was taken by something in the night. The Barrows seem to have released their evil into the surronding area. Brother Christian and I are attempting to make it to a mansion I know of in the far east of this region. He and I are the only ones left. May the Sun guide our path..." Barrow Downs

Oprócz powyższej kwestii, pozostają dla mnie niewiadomą także fragmenty dziennika pewnego kleryka, które są rozsiane po kontynencie. Jakoś umyka mi do czego to wskazówka... a może to nie wskazówka tylko zwykłe flavor texty... w najgorszym wypadku red herring?

I bonusowe pytanie: W jakich okolicznościach zaginął Lord Kilburn? Coś mi dzwoni w głowie, że udał się na wyprawę mającą sprawdzić pogłoski o diabłach na Enroth, ale nie wiem gdzie to usłyszałem/przeczytałem.

Zwykłe flavor texty - a konkretnie, jeśli dobrze pamiętam, tłumaczące dlaczego w Dolinie Kurhanów roi się od nieumarłych.

Otóż w Dolinie Kurhanów jeden z krasnali powie nam, iż kiedyś istniały cztery Kamienne Kręgi (te same, które musimy odwiedzić w zadaniu promocyjnym na Wielkich Druidów), ale jeden z nich został zniszczony, co zachwiało równowagę i doprowadziły do przebudzenia zmarłych złożonych w kurhanach. Te zwoje, które znajdujemy w różnych miejscach po prostu tłumaczą jak doszło do zniszczenia Kamiennego Kręgu w trakcie wojny pomiędzy Kościołami.

"Originally, there were four Circles of Stone, one for each Cardinal direction and season, but the Eastern Circle was destroyed somewhere in Nighon during the wars between the Churches of the Sun and the Moon."

Czy rozpoczęcie i wykonanie tego zadania jest kluczowe dla zrobienia progresu w grze?

If ever there was a snake's nest of politics and religion, it was Karigor. Karigor is a small island southeast of the 'bootleg' that New Sorpigal is situated on. The twin rival Churches of the Sun and the Moon were founded there, and fought the longest war the world has ever seen until they managed to destroy one another about 200 years ago. Their artifacts of power are scattered around the world.

Some people are saying the Temple of Baa and the devils are in league! It makes sense– the temple first appeared a few months after the Night of Shooting Stars, and we all know the devils and that night are related!"

Have you noticed how Temples of Baa have been sprouting up throughout the kingdom? They're everywhere, and I for one think it's an ominous development. Although they offer free healing, they don't seem to be doing it out of kindness– there must be a method to their madness!

Czy jest gdzieś wyjaśnione skąd w ogóle wziął się pomysł Kultu Baa? Alamar kiedyś wspominał, że Kreeganie "musieli zmienić taktykę" po przegranej bitwie w Edenbrook... czy ktokolwiek zna szczegóły dot. powstawania tego kultu?

"My Dear Sulman, Sep 17, 1152

You have done well, and I hereby promote you to High Priest of the Second Circle. There is a sum of gold waiting for you in the hands of Andover Potbello in New Sorpigal that he will turn over to you if you tell him the Sandman sent you and show him the Seal on this letter. Sandman…I like that.

The handling of the Roland affair was masterful, and I especially liked the snowstorm touch—it really put the Fear in him, didn’t it? Superstitious fool! His removal has moved our timetable ahead by at least two years and has spared us the trouble of assassinating him at a more delicate time. All arrangements are in place.

My minions have engineered the recall of Queen Catherine to her homeland in Erathia to attend the funeral of her father. She will not return this year, and that only leaves her worthless brat Nicolai and that idiot Regent Wilbur Humphrey running things at the palace.

The people have begun to sense that something is wrong, that perhaps the gods are angry. That perhaps…the Ironfists have lost the Mandate of Heaven. Just a few more disasters and there may well be a full-scale rebellion!

And we will be waiting at the breach, ready to step in and tell the sheep what to do and when to do it. Already our temples spread across the land, offering aid to those displaced by disasters, and comfort to the bereaved...

Yes. Remain in New Sorpigal and stay out of sight. When the time is right you will be contacted and given further instructions. So take heart, and know that our plan proceeds smoothly and we will be ruling this world soon. Your position in our hierarchy will be very high!

Autorzy wielokrotnie wspominali Karigor ale chyba tylko raz odnieśli się do określenia czym jest. Jedyny sensowny tekst znalazłem w MM8:

Teksty z MM8 sugerują, że Karigor jest blisko Jadame

Q: Crusaders and Warriors of Might and Magic: were they treated by NWC as a canonical games?
A: No they weren't. Those games were developed elsewhere and we didn't follow their storylines.

Ten tekst pochodzi z MM6, a nie z MM8.

Cotton is found in Karigor, the island home of the Church of the Sun and the Church of the Moon. It doesn't grow well anywhere else, and it's difficult to pick and seed, but it makes for wonderful soft clothes, if you can afford it.

Grindstones are so hard to make and find, it's a wonder anyone ever becomes a miller. I hear that Karigor has a great rock quarry that turns things like millstones out by the hundreds.

They say that the streets of Kalimar, the capitol city of Karigor, are made of fine jade, and the buildings all use it too. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

Mogreds are extinct in Enroth, and almost extinct in Karigor. They were over-hunted because of how valuable their horns are for enchanting.

When I was much younger, I had a chance to see the ruined library of the Church of the Moon at Karigor. It was made entirely of jade and marble, and once contained the wisdom of the ages within its hallowed halls. If ever you have a chance to visit, take it!
