About this game

The Lords of Midnight combines a character-led journey with a war against Doomdark. Luxor can recruit and command forces for an attack on Ushgarak, while Morkin seeks the Ice Crown. You choose the balance by deciding which characters to guide; there is no separate adventure-versus-war mode switch.

The view shows the selected character’s position and facing. Number keys 1–8 select compass directions; Q moves forward in that direction. R opens Think for more information and T opens Choose for context-sensitive actions such as searching or approaching a battle.

Characters have individual daylight limits, affected by travel and condition. One character reaching night does not prevent you from moving the others. When all desired actions are finished, press U for Night so Doomdark can act and the next day can begin.

Quick tips

Use Think to check a character’s condition and remaining possibilities.
