Hello,
I also just got the game. I have a question regarding all the small town in Arkania 1. Is there a map (other than the ingame one) I am trying to get to Felsteyn and well, I can't find where that is...
Thanks!

Hey. found one here:

The game came with 2 clue books and I know book 1 has maps in it with locations.

The original release of the first game which I bought (yes, I'm that old) had an A3-sized map in the box. This was the Amiga release. I don't have it any more, but I'm sure you can find a scan of it with some searching.
I remember this map was part of the copy protection, the game would ask what the name of the town west/south/north/east of town X was.
