Casket of Souls
1987
"I am Sallazar, spirit guardian of the kingdom of Amarillia. For two hundred years I was the keeper of an artefact of magical energy, so powerful that its creation took the lives of eleven grand wizards. It was a casket that could imprison a demon and was made to defend Amarillia in its darkest years.
When the demon came, I awoke ready to trap it with the cask. But I gambled and lost. Yet the demon can still be annihilated by the casket. There is a hidden spell that can open it and I can lead you to it. Please help for there is no other hope left to us "
Hidden within the twelve magnificent paintings are twelve magical objects. Will you be the one to find them?
