Chronicles of the Sword is a sword and sorcery fantasy point-and-click adventure game with arcade elements, created and published by Psygnosis, and initially released in 1996 for DOS and PlayStation systems. The game's setting and gameplay are loosely based on Arthurian legend.
The game is set in King Arthur's mythical court of Camelot, located in Albion (Britain) circa 420 AD. Peace and prosperity flower throughout the land. The player takes on the role of Gawaine, an aspiring knight in Arthur's Order of the Round Table whose quest is to vanquish the evil sorceress Morgana. Morgana, Arthur's sister, threatens to reveal Lancelot and Guinevere's affair to the world, thus overthrowing Arthur and destroying Camelot and all else that Arthur has created. Gawaine discovers her plan and warns the King. This results in her banishment, and not pleased, she attempts to kill Arthur. The king, in turn, is not pleased, and sends Gawaine off to take care of Morgana once and for all. The knight ventures into the forest to ferret out various objects to give himself magical protection before he can finally set off after Morgana in her castle in Lyonesse.
