King's Quest III

Originating from the land of Galena, Illinois from the "King's Cache Quest" Series (GC20V4H), this Travel Bug and its siblings were inspired by the awesome 1980's computer game adventure series King's Quest. The fictional kingdom that Sir Graham, the benevolent hero, resided in was called Daventry. Much to my surprise I discovered that the kingdom of Daventry actually exists in a picturesque area of England. I knew right then and there that this quest could step out of the computer screen and become a reality. The rival bugs can be tracked here:

King's Quest III: In King's Quest III, the story moves away from Daventry and King Graham to the land of Llewdor, where a boy named Gwydion is being kept by the wicked wizard, Manannan. According to the introduction, for as long as he could remember, 17 year old Gwydion has been held captive by Manannan as his servant, cooking and cleaning for him in his home atop a large mountain in Llewdor. From this vantage point, and with the help of a telescope, the seemingly all-knowing wizard watches the countryside, with the shore to the east and the desert to the west. It is revealed that Gwydion was kidnapped from Daventry by the magician when he was young, and this adventure tells the story of his journey back to Daventry. The player plays Gwydion in King’s Quest III. The major events of the story include breaking free of Gwydion’s captivity by turning Manannan into a cat, escaping Llewdor, returning to Daventry where he frees both the land and Princess Rosella from a three-headed dragon, and finally discovering that he is actually the royal couple's lost son, Rosella's twin and heir to the throne, Alexander. The actions taken by Gwydion in this story lead directly to the events that begin King's Quest V.
