Official description

The legendary hero Cuchulainn is returning with his faithful charioteer, Loeg, from a futile and bloody battle with the Conachta. They are waylaid by Skar the Sorceress, ally of the Conachtmen, who kidnaps Loeg and carries him off to the city of Dun Darach. Cuchulainn vows to rescue him...

Your main objective is to find and free Loeg. You will have to complete several secondary quests before you finally reach Skar and her prisoner; there is, however, no set route to solve the Quest.
