From Alf Balwin's Adventure Probe review: "It was the tradition, in a great stone city in the south, for young men, when they reached a certain age, to be taken by a guide into the wild country surrounding the city, and there left to fend for themselves and learn the art of survival. After several years, those who survived to reach their coming of age, had then to undertake the hazardous journey back to the city, where they would be allocated a place of honour. You are one of the survivors and it is now time for you to make that journey."
