Be it known that I lie dying. I was once The King of Lydia, but am now the servant of the Shah Shahan, Cyrus. Nor all my wealth, nor all the doctors of Egypt can cure me for my malady is age and for that there is no remedy. It was Solon who told me once that Hebe but loans youth to you; in the end she takes it back.

When I ruled in Sardis. I was counted the richest man who ever lived and before I was taken by Cyrus I hid a vast treasure in a distant land. Now I would use that treasure to give to the world a parting gift. I would leave to you that which you now most need. I would leave you heroes.

To possess my treasure one must pass 5 difficult and dangerous tests, "The 5 Quests of Croesus." The dangers are many and terrible. The journey is long and arduous. Many will fail. Only the bravest and the best will succeed. It is to these I leave the golden treasure of Croesus.

The first quest begins HERE. Sacrifice to the gods; they will all be watching you.
