The best treasure & spells come from optional quests. Seek them.
Information in Journals can mean life or death.
There are four Journals. Find them all!
There are three other books which, while not necessary for finishing the game, do explain what�s going on and why it�s so important. You should find them, too.
Write down information. You may never see it again.
There are no shops, nor alchemical ingredients. Manage your resources!
You will find powerful items. Use when you have to, but not until.
�Islands of the Wheel� is meant to be played with a party that either:
1.) Has just finished playing �Valley of Dying Things�, or
2.) Has just been created by taking a First Level Party through the included, customized
�High Level Party Maker� once!
For optimum challenge, stick to the above methods of Party design.
(* I used: 2 Fighters, 2 Priests, 2 Mages = Level 11, 2500 gold, Bronze Weapons & Iron Armor.)
Although there are a couple of times you need to return to a site to accomplish a task, this Walk Through is written in a reasonable sequence.
I have enclosed found Items and Spells in braces, �[ ]�, in a reduced type, (4), for the sake of size.
The Story:
Your boat fell apart � you found yourselves on land? There wasn�t an island here before!

The Whisperers have devastated Hub Island! They seem to be casting some sort of a spell while using a Glass Sphere. �Wait�, or �Attack� ?
(The Whisperers are using the Glass Sphere to open the Portal which you can use to escape, �the World�. If you attack and stop them, even if you kill them, you�ll be stuck here forever! � And they�ll destroy the Universe!)
Wait. � The Portal appears. Now, attack them!
When the last Whisperer dies, you gather in a circle beneath the descending Portal. Suddenly, you�re in the Eastern Sea where it all began. A rough wave rips the Door-Globe from your hands, out of reach. You see a boat coming your way. They rescue you. You have a feeling their boat won�t be destroyed the way yours was. And you�re right!
* Much of this journal is unreadable. The first page is labeled, �Renala�s Journal�, but only says that, �Ruby and I� landed on Hub Island roughly the same way you did. You learn nothing new about this place here.
( �Ruby and I� are apparently high-level adventurers. Ruby is the writer�s sister. Nothing else about the writer is said here. The rest of the journal is shown exactly as written. )
Day 3. Finally got Liezl�s boat. Explored Islands. Where did all the monsters come from? A Castle full of Trogs did NOT sail on the Eastern Sea and show up here like we did. And undead?
enough of an expert on soil (thanks for the farming lessons, Dad) to know that these Islands come from different climates. They do NOT belong together�
�says I�m nuts, no one can teleport whole Islands. She�s the Magic expert but I know it�s the only way.
Day 6. Just visited Elemental Island. Won�t make THAT mistake again. Ruby and I are no match for that many � (much unreadable)� castle may be the key.
Day 7. Ruby says she lost her Journal when escaping from the Giants. It had solution to undead cellar door death-trap! Big Skull won�t help anymore and we don�t remember. (damned islands)
No joke, islands making us forget things and lose skill. Annabelle says every 7 days, or so, we�ll get worse. She�s almost a brainless zombie. What�s going on here?
Day (unreadable)� serves Z right for playing with his �Toy of the Gods�� we MUST reverse portal (much unreadable) at least we have good weapons & armor now� time to attack Z.
Day 12. Darson Vale was destroyed by Elementals. All killed. Linus was there and he had the oar. Can�t go to it. Must try 2nd attack while elems tired.
Day (unreadable)� We did it! We got into the tomb! Could only take a few items but we have good weapons, etc., now. Plenty more but guards will be doubled now. They collapsed main path too� hope the pit�s tree tunnel is still
Ruby dead, I�m dying. Z too strong. Didn�t know he controlled� no hope. I will go hide with Hector now. He has a secret place. Z�s as trapped as anyone. Stole from a God! Must tell: Big S was right about the Glass Ball. It�s
Day 2. Only a few sane people here. Annabelle, Hector, Weldon, Linus. Liezl�s nuts, Phineas is worse. Linus & Weldon have advent skills but Weldon�s too old. Maybe Linus will help us.
Day 4. Ruby thinks Linus likes me. He asked her about my favorite color & food. He�s a pest but we need a second Fighter. He�s not as good as I am but he can disarm traps and
Day 6. Gave Linus the boat�s oar. I trust him. Besides where can he go? Mountains block all exit AND entrance. Still think islands were teleported. What did big skull mean by
Day 5. The gold worked. This time big skull answered. Asked about traps and it told us how to get into undead cellar. Wasn�t prepared for what was there though, had to
Day 8. Finally, real answers. Gold mine of info in secret panel on Grumpy�s throne. Had to leave it and run. The priest IS behind it all. Were the Whisperers that dangerous? Damn Ruby for losing her
If Zuwhiel learns Grumpy�s got these books, all hell will break loose! Nothing�s happened though. Maybe Z can�t leave his island.
(Ruby�s journal is mostly single sentences written all over the pages, and in no particular order. Each entry is written below, separated by a �/� mark.
People on Hub Island are mostly crazy / I sense HUGE evil here coming from the ground / Linus is nice / Linus likes Renala! Bastard / Anabelle is getting worse.
Big Skull is really creepy Hector hates me because I�m a priestess AND wizardess / Troglodytes suck! / Liezl�s mean, she won�t let us use her boat / Weldon�s okay, trust him
Told Linus Renala�s favorite color is blue, she hates blue this could be funny. I�m mean! / Ha, ha, we got the boat / Don�t swim, those little fish are MEAN / Remember to ask B. S. about Z�s �ignorance�!
I think I�m going crazy / what kind of password is 0O00OO0O0 ? I get it, they�re not all zeros � 2nd, 5th, 7th are letter �O� / Liezl blew up a tree this morning.
Oh, Annabelle, why did you have to do that? Was what was happening to you that bad? I know you didn�t want to live like a zombie, but maybe we�re going to find a cure for this! I wish you were still alive. We miss you!
This book has the words �BOOK OF PRAYERS� on it�s cover. It was written by an unnamed member, (or members), of a religious group called the �NYRE�.
All prayers in the book start by addressing �Pure Sibem�, who is apparently a diety.
One prayer says to �Let Evil be contained in the World of Redemption, where Your purity will overwhelm all and make all well.�
Further study of the book describes this �World of Redemption� as an ocean with one land mass, where evil beings are placed until they are �healed�. �Basic needs� are always taken care of, apparently, although the book doesn�t say how.
Skimming the book makes it clear that the Nyre believe that when there is no evil left in the hearts and minds of those �contained� in the World of Redemption, they will be allowed to leave and �rejoin the Physical World�.
Several references are made to an object called �the Door Globe�, but this object is never well described. It seems to be some kind of magical of holy gateway that people can travel through, but that�s all you can figure.
This book tells the history of a benevolent religious order called the Nyre. The Nyre believed that evil was essentially a curable disease.
The Nyre�s diety, Sibem, created a tiny, self contained, universe called, �The World of Redemption�. This �World� was a place of pure good where evil beings could be contained indefinitely until �cured�.
Evil beings in this �World� had an infinite supply of food and drink and a beautiful, peaceful environment to live in while contemplating their sins.
Individual evil beings, (or, if needed, whole land masses) could be placed in the �World� by using an immensely powerful holy item called the Door-Globe. The Door-Globe is a glass sphere about a foot in diameter.
The Nyre eventually captured the Whisperers�beings so powerful and evil that their presence corrupted the �World�. The Nyre locked the Door-Globe away to prevent the Whisperers from ever escaping the �World� and released all the other prisoners.
The Door-Globe was stolen about a year ago by a human priest with evil intentions. The Nyre are actively hunting him down.
The second book is a journal written by Zuwhiel. It tells of his attempts to master the Door-Globe�s power. (see the first Giant Book.)
Apparently, all the land, (except for Hub Island) currently in the �World of Redemption� is land that Zuwhiel brought here.
Zuwhiel writes that he thinks that he�s found a way to enter and leave the �World� at will. He says he used the Door-Globe to create a portal connecting to the �World�, and has put this portal in an uncharted part of the Great Seas.
From what you read, you conclude that Zuwhiel did enter the �World�, but couldn�t get back out. The book says he intended to bring the Door-Globe with him. Maybe that was his mistake.
Or, perhaps he forgot that the �World�, while once peaceful and beautiful, was first and foremost, a prison. Breaking into a prison isn�t too difficult, generally, but getting out again usually is.
