In 1998 Feist novelized the game, and Krondor: The Betrayal became officially a part of the Riftwar canon. Sierra published a Spiritual Successor Betrayal in Antara as well as a more direct sequel Return to Krondor, although neither were as well-received as the original game. In addition, the game utilizes some unorthodox RPG elements, such as day/night cycles, riddle-based puzzle lockchests, and even a food system. Mages do not have any MP instead, any spells cast use an amount of their health/stamina points. For example, a character can only improve his crossbow accuracy skill if he uses a crossbow during combat. Instead of levels and XP, characters gain percentage points in over a dozen skills, but only if they practice that particular skill. The game itself utilizes a first-person perspective as the party traverses a (primitive) 3D landscape representing the world of Midkemia and various cities therein, switching to a third-person view whenever the player enters combat.īetrayal at Krondor was, and still is, a unique CRPG. Due to the graphical limitations of the time, a lot of the game's plot is presented in text form, in a prosaic format that reads like one of Feist's novels. It seems that Delekhan, the leader of the moredhel in the Northlands, is gathering troops for war, and Gorath must get this message to Prince Arutha to mount a counter-offensive, but there is more going on than it seems. After an assassination attempt by another moredhel, which is foiled by Gorath, Locklear forces Owyn to join them in a journey toward Krondor, capital of the Western Realm. While coming home from his cousin's wedding, a young magician named Owyn runs into an injured Seigneur Locklear, a squire of the Prince's court, and his strange moredhel companion named Gorath.

It is a towering saga of great conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues - of mysterious deaths among the ranks of the just and the sinister machinations of a master criminal - when the fate of many civilizations rests in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and the cunning thief-turned-Squire James. It is the story of a traitor - a dark elf who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot with the human targets of their fierce aggression. Feist returns to bring to light an extraordinary, hitherto untold chapter in the violent history of Midkemia. Overview of Krondor: The Betrayal (Riftwar Legacy Series #1)įantasist Raymond E.
