Kings Quest II
Romancing The Throne
Although King Edward died sadly from a heart attack,
at least he felt happy about Daventry's three magical treasures
recovered by Graham. Sir Graham is now King Graham of Daventry
for his honorable deeds. Graham vows to help keep the kingdom
beautiful, bright, and tranquil. However, as he sits on his throne,
a sense of loneliness hovers over him. He realizes that he doesn't
have a heir to pass his crown down to, and he can't do so without
a queen.
However, the Magic Mirror hanging nearby glows as something appears
in it. Graham stands up and look in it. He sees a woman who is
more beautiful than any woman he has ever seen. Immediately, he
decides that she shall be the one whom he will marry as his queen.
He only knows that she is in a tower far away, and he must journey
to the land of Kolyma in order to meet her.
In the land of Kolyma, he sees the typical features
of nature: trees, grass, bushes, water, and sand. There is a very
tall mountain range in the east as well as a deep chasm nearby.
Across the chasm is a magical door and two more magical doors
behind it. Towards the west is a poisonous lake with a large ominous
castle on an island. Graham has plenty of places to explore in
this foreign land.
As far as enemies and villains are concerned, they are present,
so King Graham must watch out. Hagatha is one such adversary,
because she is an old hag who cooks humans for dinner. There is
also a wolf who might sleep in a bed disguised as a grandmother.
Another character to watch out for is Count Dracula, who is a
vampire with a thirst for blood. Graham must use his wits in order
to survive his encounters with them.
Not everyone in the land of Kolyma is evil or dangerous. If Graham
visits the monastery in Kolyma, he can seek aid from the monk
who frequently prays there. Also, a fairy might fly by and give
some protective magic to Graham. He does meet other characters
who are helpful in some way, especially in his quest to look for
the three keys to the three magic doors. It is his only way to
find his true love and have her by his side.
