On the Origin of Daventry

During the production of the games, their existed two simultaneous theories about Daventry's existance and how it relates to earth King's Quest Companion.

Thoughout the production of the games, the authors of the manuals insisted that the games portrays earth history of a european-like kingdom that occured many many years ago, when magic and mystical creatures still existed on earth.

Where as Peter Spear, and his co-authors insisted that Daventry is in a seperate universe that coexists with ours, and that the citizens of Daventry withdrew from Earth.

These competing ideas existed throughout the course of the production of each additional game up to the last edition of King's Quest Companion, and King's Quest 7.

The interesting thing of note is that both the manuals and the companion were created from notes from Roberta Williams herself, though she did not necessarily have a hand in directly writing any of the material.
