You might know this one...might not. My copy came in a 3 pack, with (seemed huge at the time) 3 720k 3.5" floppys, and about 6 full length manuals for the 3 games. This is a small excerpt from the manual of the first game in the series (hard copy long gone, thank god for Acrobat Reader ) Phlan was the first great city of the Moonsea, reaching its peak some thousands of years ago. In those days, the Moonsea was better known as the Dragon Sea, named for the large numbers of great Wyrms that inhabited that area and the regions to the north. The Barren River was then called the Stojanow, a dwarvish word meaning "Trade Route," for it was down this passage the ore-laden barges floated, bound for the sout. Early Phlan was a trading outpost on the north shore of the Moonsea, set up to facilitate trade between the Elves of Myth Drannor (the most powerful elven capital of the time) and the tribes of Thar, Vaasa, and the Ride, as well as the Dragonspine Dwarves. I will say, this game was considered old when I bought it, sometime in the early/mid nineties...so think back hard
