Description

Bright‑Wits, the newly‑eighteen crown prince of Mogadore, leaves his father’s court with a learned Brahman named Ablano as his guide. Cloaked in fine silks and riding a gilt‑trimmed horse, he journeys through bustling caravans and towering palaces until he arrives at the splendid city of Parrabang, where the enchanting maiden Azalia greets him. Their meeting triggers a series of extraordinary tasks, each presented as a clever puzzle that tests the prince’s wit, courage, and compassion.

The palace grounds conceal riddles as diverse as a checkerboard rug, three mysterious fountains, and a game of Onalba that could reshape entire provinces. Along the way Bright‑Wits must outmaneuver cunning rivals like Garrofat and Doola while learning patience from his sage companion. Listeners are invited to accompany a bright‑minded hero as he untangles each challenge, discovering how intellect and kindness can pave the path to honor.
