Shadow of the Unicorn
SHADOW OF THE UNICORN You must recapture the evil forces that have been released upon the two kingdoms of Oronfal and Falforn. You will begin the game with the ability to control Mithulin (King of Oronfal), Ulin-Gail (his friend, a Satyr from Harvena), and Avarath (the Wizard). You will have to travel the lands, finding friends who will assist you in your task and fighting the foes who are working against you. When you meet a friend you will be able to control him or her.
