The prequel to The Magic Candle, which also takes place in the same world, is set in the wild times, when the clan of the hero Danata is attacked by bloodthirsty Taldors, goblin-like creatures. After repelling the attack, he discovers that the whole known world is in similar problems and the individual communities of typical fantasy races are facing similar attacks. Humans, elves, dwarves, lizards, and Amazons must fight for the future of their generations. As the right hero, Danat chooses the three of his best fighters, which is already up to the player, and sets out to unite the tribes of North and South. The game differs from the competition at the time mainly by the possibility to achieve permanent improvements in skills by visiting rest areas scattered around the region. These places are dedicated to different gods. Duels take place on moves, the engine was taken from The Magic Candle III and the gameplay is completely identical to Ultima VI.
