-- The Song of Maelog --
[SHORT thematic description of maelog and the starting area]
All platformers are something of a journey themselves--you run through passages, jump over chasms, and traverse many other obstacles with nothing but your arms and legs. Maelog, unfortunately, has no such apendages. With your mighty sword--and nothing but your sword--you must journey through all the same dangers by swinging, stabbing, and... Well that's about it. Good luck, traveller!
