The nature goddess Rhiannon, Queen of Faeries, dwells within the Faerie Realm, an alternate Prime Material plane consisting of endless magical forests.  Her long hair appears yellow in spring, brown in summer, red in autumn, and white in winter.  (Robert Klasnich, from “The Folk of the Faerie Kingdom” by Vince Garcia, Dragon 155, March 1990)

“The Folk of the Faerie Kingdom” are now more often known as the fey.  (Robert Klasnich from Vince Garcia’s article in Dragon 155, March 1990)  “While faeries of all sorts can see and venture through the otherwise invisible gates into the Faerie Realm, only Rhiannon’s messengers (the sylphs) may shift between planes at will.”

Eight valiant characters fight to recover the Crown of the Emperor, stolen by the usurper Tarmon, Wizard of Thunder, and hidden in the ruins of Arghan (Christopher White box art for Wizard's Crown, "A Role-Playing Fantasy Game with Tactical Combat," Strategic Simulations, Inc, 1986, available in Commodore 64/128, Atari 8-bit and ST, DOS, and Apple II versions) Wizard's Crown was a relatively simple dungeon bash, but its combat system formed the basis of SSI's later Gold Box AD&D games.

If exploring eerie dungeons filled with monsters is your idea of fun (hellish dungeon art by Christopher White in ad for SSI games Wizard's Crown and Rings of Zilfin, from Computer Gaming World magazine, issues 26-29, March through June-July 1986)
