Like ''Literature/TheCrimsonTide'' before it, the player's character is a youth with no experience as the book begins, and starts with locked-in low stats. As they successfully complete quests they add points to a score called "Amonour", reflecting experience and notoriety. At certain points these points can be cashed in to increase their character's stats. Also notable that the middle of the book is somewhat free-roam, with the player being able to consult a quest board for various minor adventures in the order they please, like in many modern fantasy video games.
