The correct answers to the Sphinx's riddles could be found using the map editor :rolleyes:
But some riddles were quite simple. For example, in the last scenario for Roland, the Sphinx asked, "Who, they say, is the true king?" Of course, Archibald, because he is the eldest son of the king, and by law, the throne would be his anyway.
Here's the plot:
The legendary Lord Ironfist, under whose leadership we managed to bring glory to Erathia throughout Enroth in the previous game, has died. But the kingdom will not be left without a ruler, as the Lord had two sons: the kind Roland and the treacherous Archibald. According to an ancient tradition, the new king will be chosen by a soothsayer. But, by a strange coincidence, the soothsayer drowns on his way to the capital. His successor accidentally falls out of the highest window of the tallest tower in the castle, the successor's deputy just happened to be near a dragon when it decided to yawn in his direction as it flew by, and the fourth soothsayer was poisoned. It must have been expired wine... The quick-witted Archibald immediately declared that Roland was trying to disrupt his, Archibald's, appointment as king and declared him an outlaw. Roland was forced to flee the capital under the cover of night, seeking refuge in his lands. But the next day, a completely independent soothsayer declared Archibald the ruler of Enroth. Of course, the forces of good are eager for revenge, and Roland gathers his loyal vassals and declares war on his brother and the lords who have sworn allegiance to the villain.
