You can choose from four characters depending on your preferences in the balance between weapons and magic.
Westwood eschews traditional RPG character creation in favor of simplicity, but for the most part, it works. He immediately entrusts to his champion (you, of course) the task of destroying Scotia once and for all. While consulting with Geron, his counselor, King Richard of Gladstone received an alarming news: after countless futile attempts, Scotia the mad sorceress finally obtained the nether mask, a magical artifact that grants the wearer the power to change into any form. Lands of Lore begins with an intriguing, albeit cliche, premise that is no less dynamic than those in Eye of The Beholder series. The game broke new grounds with astounding graphics, great soundtrack, intuitive user interface, great spell effects and plot development, and last but not least, an excellent automap. Westwood's Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos is sequel in spirit to acclaimed Eye of The Beholder 2, but surpasses its AD&D predecessor in every way.
