Times of Lore/The Tablet of Truth

The steward of the kingdom
After you gave the urn with Foretelling Stones to the prior, you can enter the castle in Eralan. Dariel, regent of the kingdom, charges you with a new quest: recover the Tablet of Truth from the lord in Ganestor.

The road to Ganestor
Leave Eralan to the south. At the fork go east. Soon you'll reach an inn, where you can rest and save.

Further along the road, you'll get in the town of Hampton.

The magic boots
Hampton is very close to Treela. One of the eight rumors says that you can buy magic boots in that town. Leave Hampton to the north and follow the mountains. Cross the forest to reach Treela. The man who sells magic boots can be met in the tavern.

In the original ports, you take off the magic boots every time you go to bed at an inn. Thus, every morning (or every time you reload the game), you have to put on the magic boots. Although it's realistic, it's a bit annoying. In the NES remake, the magic boots stay on forever.

After visiting Treela, return to Hampton and continue south-east.

City of Ganestor
Cross Hampton and continue south-east. Soon you'll reach Ganestor.

The gates of the castle are closed. Talk to the townsfolk in the buildings: someone says that Barton knows about a secret underground passage to get to the castle. Barton relays you to Smitty the innkeeper.

In the dungeon, avoid being hit by the guards, or they'll send you to jail forever (game over). The guard on the bottom floor can be easily avoided. Back on the ground floor, use the blue scroll to stun the yellow guard, then knock him out. Grab the Tablet of Truth and leave.

Quest completion
The Tablet of Truth sets the trail for the next quest. After reading it, return it to Dariel in Eralan, and he will reward you with some gold coins.
