"Kyrandia is a land of dark mysterious forests and sleeping dragons. A fantasy land where rubies grow on trees and magic abounds. Who would imagine that a land so idyllic would spawn a murderer so demented? Some say the court jester Malcolm was mad to begin with. Others that it was his burning desire to possess the Kyragem that slowly drove him to slay the peaceful King William. As the rightful price of Kyrandia, you must pursue the elusive Malcolm to recover the powerful gemstone. Only then will you be able to reclaim the throne and restore harmony to the land of Kyrandia."
