Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow - Part 13 of 43


Wish you could get into Chessboard Land. Sadly, there is no way to go in there at all...

All maps by Dan_.


The doors to the garden lead to a checkerboard world. At the beginning of the path are two chess knights. If you talk to them, they'll block your path. This is the chess world, home of the red and white queens. They're worried about the cross-island feuding.

You'll then meet the red and white queens. They don't like the Vizier either. As they argue about what nasty gag gift to give to the Vizier and Cassima when they get married, the red queen will mention that a beast stole the Singing Stone. They ask Alexander to settle their squabble, but it doesn't end very well. They leave, and the red queen drops her scarf. Take it. If you give it back to the knights, they'll let you have it as the queen considers dropping red scarves fashionable.

If you try to enter Chessboard Land, you won't be able to enter as it is for chess pieces only.

There's not much left that you can do here, so head back to the Isle of the Crown.


Head back to the town. There's a note near the archway leading to the mansion. If you read it with the eye icon, you'll find out it's a proclamation for the royal wedding of Vizier Adubl al-Hazred and Princess Cassima. Due to security reasons, the wedding will not be open to the public.

Enter Ali's Books. Talk to Jollo. He'll tell you about Abdul al-Hazred, who came to the Land of the Green Isles fifteen years ago and nudged King Caliphim, who wanted to spend more time with his wife and daughter, into trusting him with the smaller affairs of the isles, making him Vizier. Cassima, whom he had her eyes on since she was a young girl (even though Mordack wanted to marry her in the last game) is now the only thing between him and the throne. Thankfully, Cassima distrusts the Vizier, but how long will that last?
