To win the first battle at Erklyna: Buy a Level-One Mage Guild, A spellbook, 
and all the forces you can recruit.  Place your rangers in the first slot, 
followed by your pikemen, swordsmen, and finally peasants.  Place your 
pikemen in front and to the left of your rangers and attack the gargoyles
with both the pikemen and the rangers each turn.  The first round, use the
peasants and the swordsmen to attack the griffins, then position the 
swordsmen to wait until the gargoyles are dead.  Once they are so, get the
swordsmen into the position the gargoyles were occupying, effectively
sealing off your rangers from further melee attack.  Once both the gargoyles
and griffins are dead, kill the minotaurs with the rangers.  Using this
technique, you should be able to win this battle everytime.  Otherwise... 
it is almost impossible.

If you follow the coastline south of Willow, you will discover a small 
island.  On this island is a portal which will take you to a single 
obelisk and a traveller's tent, which will allow you to find and recover
the ultimate artifact.

In the northeastern corner of the map, almost due north of Willow, there 
is an event right next to a dwarf cottage which, for 5000 gold, will give
you the Dragon Sword artifact.

The southernmost part of the map, right in the center, has an island
guarded by level 4 monsters who guard several significant treasures and
artifacts.

Events are scattered throughout the map, often located in out-of-the-way
corners which will give you special items and bonuses.  Explore everywhere,
and you will find a lot of aid in your efforts.
