Cannock Castle

LOCATION: Go left seven steps from Leftwyne and then head due north and you'll find this castle city. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

The castle city of Cannock has a costlier inn, and it'll cost you 8 gold pieces to spend the night there. Other attractions include the king, who can save your progress and update you on how many experience points you need to reach the next level. He'll also tell you that his son (whom I shall refer to Talint in this guide, though I've also seen the game call him by other names like Numor) has already left on a separate journey. The king suggests that you find the prince and take him as your companion for the journey, and that's exactly what you should do.

First, however, you'll want to save and then head right to the grayed-out room. There, the princess tells you that her brother went looking for the Spring of Bravery, but that he travels slowly.

Though the Spring of Bravery isn't the place where you ultimately will find the prince, you should head there next. It's your first dungeon, but you're likely at level 7 by now, so it won't prove too difficult.
