After searching for nearly 8 years, you have found where your old master, Magmar is entombed. Toby is now nearly 18 years old and his coronation is near. But only Magmar can deliver Toby unto the Council and thus ensure the safety of Arlia. Dare you enter Magmar's Tomb and risk the magical and mechanical tricks and traps laid therein. You must, for only you can restore Magmar to life.
This game is the first part of the Arlia Trilogy. The second part "Magnar's Tomb" and the third part "The Gold Dragon" appear never to have been released.

I was 18 at the time and I had just had a baby, so that's basically why I never got around to finishing the rest of the 'trilogy'.
It was never submitted to a publisher and only distributed to a few friends on the software scene, so it was quite a surprise to see it (and my first attempt, Andromeda III) here. Unfortunately I no longer have the files, but if anyone has a link to where I might download them, I'd love to have them for nostalgia's sake. I'm also quite happy for them to be freely available too.

@Alex, re: the solution. My memory is a bit vague, but to score maximum points I think you had to drop the Pearl somewhere (small spring maybe?) at a certain specific time, which (iirc) made Magmar appear to you with a message. Or something like that.
Hi Keith,
Thanks for giving a hint about the pearl. I'll try it. I send you a pm on how you can obtain the games.
