There are creatures of every low and mean quality lurking here. In another, a chill penetrates to the bone, turning my limbs to ice.Įverywhere, I am relentlessly pursued by beasts and demons. In one chamber, heat causes my suit of armor to burn the very skin it was designed to protect. Through these unlit corridors I wander, stumbling in the dark, encountering new ordeals at every turn. Now I abide here, searching endlessly for the precious Amulet. Somehow, I found my way to this place, rolled back the moss-covered stone, and entered its darkness. Long ago, the magic Amulet of Yendor began burning its way into my heart, began drawing me here to my uncertain fate. Long ago, I began my quest for this object, this prize spoken of only in hushed tones by even the bravest Knights and Guildmasters around the dying embers of evening fires. Stolen by the evil Dungeon Lord, who despised its beauty and purity, the Amulet has remained hidden in the deepest reaches of this tortuous maze, calling those who seek it to sure destruction. This precious gift was left behind by magicians of old to remind mankind of its origins. I am the Rogue.Īs I wander, I hold fast in my mind the one object that stands out from all the others: the sacred Amulet of Yendor. Long before I forgot the warmth of the noonday sun or the refreshing coolness of the evening breeze, I forgot my name. How many lifetimes have passed since I began my sojourn through this maze of underground passageways, of damp, dimly lit chambers? How long have I been alone, the only human among a menacing crew of hideous subterranean beasts, stumbling over forlorn reminders that others have passed this way before me.
