It's become very dark in the forest of lights because the dwarven treasure was stolen by the evil Griswald. This treasure is not just any treasure, but something very special because it's the only things that can make the forest shine. On the run, Griswald has hidden the treasures in the forest and cast a spell on them: Only if the treasures are returned in the correct order will the magic break and the forest shine again. In Wald der Lichter ("Forest of Lights"), Ethelred the Seventh, King of the Dwarves, has sent you to find the individual treasures, so make careful note of where they're hidden so that you can bring them back to the king. —description from the publisher
