Sorry if this is too silly for words but I have been wondering around for 4 hours. Jordan is level 16. I have found a number of animals, the thief, and the guy with the basket on his head. I have explored everywhere in the first island that I can find (doesn't mean there isn't somewhere else to go but I can't find it). I have taken the horse to the place that is not Suul (can't remember the name) but I can't get to the House of Fear which I suspect is the first thing that I should have been able to do. What am I missing. Do please help. Much Thanks in advance
PS. I have also met a princess who insists on joining Jordan but I must leave behind the thief. What should I do here? Do I need the princess? Do I need the thief?
Edited to add that on my next walkthrough I finally found the way to the cave that takes me to the House of Fear AND I now know that I had to have the princess or i wouldn't have gotten to here.
