============================================================

South of the Moonshae island of Gwynneth is a forgotten isle, where all that remains of
a once thriving dwarven community are the shrines they built to their gods.
For centuries no outsider has successfully made landfall and left the isle
alive. Are you the exception, or will the isle claim yet another victim?

Good, neutral and evil characters follow three different (but intertwining) plot paths.
Each plot is mostly linear (with optional side quests), and allows access to areas or
resources denied to the other plot paths.

You can only rest beside lit campfires or braziers. Campfires require wood, while
braziers require an equipped torch, to be lit. You can sleep for four hours (heal
only) or eight hours (heal & memorise spells).

You MUST sleep eventually. A party member will become tired after being awake for
sixteen hours (+/- constitution modifier). A restore spell or potion will buy you
another hour at the most. Exhaustion decreases strength, dexterity and intelligence,
and slows you to half normal speed.

Some loot is randomly generated, but generally only suited to low-level characters.
There are no weapons or armour better than +1 to be found (although you can craft
more powerful fare). Bashing open a locked chest will most likely destroy anything
fragile inside. There are many objects on the island that you can interacted with,
and numerous natural resources to be gathered. The Z key will highlight them.

A decent search skill will allow you to discover hidden areas or treasure. The Z key
will not help you to find them.

Encounters and NPCs will scale (within limits) to match the level of the player. Many
NPCs are in a neutral faction and can be attacked at will. However any of their nearby
allies will join the fight against you. Snakes will only attack you if you get too close,
and will quickly retreat after a single strike. They only become hostile if they are
damaged. Fully aquatic creatures (sharks, barracuda, eels) will only attack if you are
in the water.

Caltrops have been reactivated in the game, and come in two flavours (plain and poisoned).
