Unlike previous entries in the series, Dragon Fire is primarily an action role-playing game with some adventure elements. The wizard Erasmus introduces the player character, the Hero, to the Greece-like kingdom of Silmaria, whose king was recently assassinated. Thus, the traditional Rites of Rulership are due to commence, and the victor will be crowned king. The Hero enters the contest. As the Rites commence, an unknown assassin begins systematically picking off the contestants. (wikipedia.org)
