In-Game Instructions
...you are a wandering adventurer who scours the countryside in search of monsters to destroy and citadels to sack.
In addition to being an adept swordsman, you have delved into the mystic arts and have learned a few magic spells that will aid you.
In the course of your travels you will (hopefully) amass a large fortune so that you can retire to a small shack in the woods.
