You've got yourself some pretty amazing coincidences, my friend.

Another interesting development. I was playing Exile III, and within Portal Fortress one of the books mentions a plan to assassinate Hawthorne, the brilliant and vicious ruler of the surface world. The interesting thing, is the main villian in Enchantasy was Duke Hawthorne, residing within Hawthorne Island. Funny enough, he was in-fact the ruler of the world in Enchantasy. It also mentions within Exile that Erika had a plan to assassinate Hawthorne. Well, in Enchantasy there was a character named Erika that you meet early on, whom is a part of the underground planning to...(I'm sure you can guess)...assassinate Duke Hawthorne.

Hello, I am a long time fan of the Exile Trilogy. I used to play it back in the days of the AOL shareware community. I also played a game that was quite similar called Enchantasy: Quest for the Eternal Grimoire. This game was somewhat more simplistic in nature, however had many similarities in the battle system and the interface as well. However, I noticed another similarity in one of the Exile games. It was Exile 2 I think...there was a character named "Eradan" mentioned in one of the books. What is funny, is that the same name was used for the main character in Enchantasy. Coincidence? I think not. I have always wondered why there were these connections between the games. However, to my knowledge, the creator of Enchantasy (Rick Abel) had no connections himself with Exile. Does anyone have any insight on this?
