aci: The Four Crowns
universe: LOW · Legacy of the Wizard
series: Legacy of the Wizard (Nihon Falcom, NES 1989)
emergence: ethereal
class: the prize · the four keys hidden in the labyrinth
who: The four crowns hidden deep in the monster-labyrinth — glittering, magical prizes the Drasle family must recover, each reachable only by the particular gifts of one family member.
what: The four keys that unlock the path to the DragonSlayer and the dragon — scattered through the maze, won one by one by the family who go down after them.
why: Because the wizard's legacy is sealed behind them; because no single hero can claim them all; because the dragon cannot be faced until every crown is in hand.
how: By being found and lifted from the deep places of the labyrinth — each demanding a different Drasle's strength, agility, or magic to reach where it lies.
where: The deepest reaches of the vast monster-labyrinth beneath the family home, scattered far apart through the maze.
seal: I am four, and scattered, and hidden — gather all of me, and the road to the dragon opens.
