In Journey of the King, you are an adventurer in a medieval Fantasy world. You are shaken awake on the side of a mountain, where you have been lying unconscious after a bandit ambush. Your rescuer is an old man from a local village who slowly nurses you back to health, and to repay his efforts you start to carry out small tasks for him. There is one task in particular however, that rekindles your adventurer's spirit... and so begins the Journey of the King.
