PREMISE:          There was a time when Ishmeria was a land of peace and
                  bliss, guarded from all evil by six mages.  The king of
                  Ishmeria, seeking to wield total control over his lands,
                  used the power of the Crown of Seven Jewels to summon a
                  Fire Dragon to enforce his absolute rule.  Ever since,
                  the open use of magic against the king has meet with
                  swift retribution.  Now, Princess Robyn has turned
                  against her father's misdeeds and sent out a summons for
                  the six mages and their allies to unite their powers and
                  come to Gemfire for a showdown with the king.  If they
                  succeed, then Ismeria's curse will end.  If not, well,
                  better not to think about that.

IMPRESSIONS:      A Risk-style strategy game with some limited RPG elements
                  thrown in as well.  Not particularly impressive, as there
                  are better titles available in this genre.

VARIATIONS:       Royal Blood (Japanese original)
