Haven: Call of the King
Encyclopedia
Haven: Call of the King is a single player PlayStation 2
game that is a combination of action, puzzle, and shoot-'em-up styles. Releases were planned for the Xbox
and GameCube by Xicat Interactive, Inc., but they were cancelled. The game was created by Traveller's Tales
and published by Midway Games
. It is rated T for Teen due to Mild Violence by the ESRB. It was a commercial flop despite the hype and large budget.
known as the "Golden Voice" that has a ring so powerful it wakes him from his slumber. During the day, when he isn't slaving away in the mines, Haven makes his way through a number of environments. Most characters are from Ferra.
Talon is Haven's greatest and only working creation. He's a bit bumbling in the beginning, but is a very fast learner. While Talon can only communicate in beeps and squawks, it is quite easy to understand him. Talon at times feels like Haven does not appreciate him enough, and can be quite full of himself. While he may be self-centered, Talon can always be relied on in a crunch. Whenever he is needed, after Haven collects 5 feathers, you can ring the obelisk in the level, and Talon will come and help Haven out.
Chess is Haven's best friend. Like Haven she longs to one day be free from Vetch's grasp. She always seems to be getting herself into trouble. She likes Haven, but gets a little frustrated with some of his stupid ideas. Over time, however, she usually finds that he is right. Chess is the only person Haven can really trust.
Dr. Spong is the strange and quirky doctor
of Haven's home village. He stutters a lot, and likes to slap people in the head, then tell them to stay in bed, saying, "I-I know for a fact th-tha-that your head is still sore..." He also has a lot of superstitious habits, like ringing an ancient healing gong in his patient's ear. His voice can be quite annoying, and he doesn't seem to be offended at Haven's rude remarks, such as "...Old Quackbrain."
The Wise Sage lives on the Isle
of Hero
es, along with all the other wise
men. He is quite bored of the old routine of welcoming the warriors that have faced all the challenges and congratulating them by saying "Well done, Great Warrior. You have fought many battles and faced many challenges..." in a monotone, lazy voice. The Wise Sage is the one that helps Haven by telling him the entire history of the Golden Voice, and the story of the original Auria, and brutality of Vetch.
The Overlord is one of Vetch's more senior
henchmen. He has earned more responsibility
, but in doing so, he has also let some of his newfound power go to his head. He has even come to think he is as powerful as Vetch himself. The Overlord is good at following orders and protocol, but is not very intelligent and is unable to function without Vetch's leadership.
Lord Vetch is an evil blight in the universe. Along with his army of minions, he travels from planet to planet enslaving the inhabitants, while stripping the planets of all natural resources. He's like the virus that he uses against the inhabitants, fast spreading and always deadly. He must be careful though, because every virus has a cure. His one fear is that the legend of the Golden Voice will come true and Athellion will return to Auria and defeat him. Vetch has done everything he can to rid himself of this legend so he can rule unchallenged.
Athellion is the true King of Auria. 1,000 years ago he departed his golden city to fight alongside his father in a great galactic crusade. Now his return is the only chance Haven and his people have to free themselves from Vetch's tyranny.
, creating Talon. He exits his house, but his boss is outside. Apparently, Haven had accidentally hurt his boss's foot with his pickaxe, thinking it was a rock then claiming anybody could have made that mistake. When Talon trips the boss causing him to fall into a bucket of feathers, Haven runs into a cave where a guard is asking Chess questions. The guard tries to shoot Haven, but misses causing the cave to collapse.
This is the first time the player gets to play Haven. The player must get Haven to escape the mine without being crushed by rocks. At the end of the mine, another cutscene shows him tripping over a rock (this is unpreventable). He then wakes up in Doctor Spong's office where Talon stops to recharge. When he exits the house, the game begins.
Once you do that, you come across many different things, Haven finds out that there's a volcano at the other side of Ferra, but must be careful as the guards are after him. Once he reaches there he must go deep down to find an old Aurian map, after you kill a dragon.
Then Haven gets arrested by a guard and ends up in a cell in space, now Haven must escape which he blows up the sylex cells (mission) to escape but ends up in Exarco. He then agrees to help the creatures and find another ship to get to the Mount of Sighs.
He kills the zeno queen and escapes, he arrives in Auria and finds the bell and rings it but has a problem, Chess is in trouble and she needs his help, he returns to save her and they go in search to find catlana, the virus antidote. Chess goes and finds a new ship but it is a ship with Vetch and his guards, they get put in cells but only Haven can escape as the guard did not lock his cell.
As he can't open Chess', he finds a ship and chases Vetch, when he finds him he sees the King is being poisoned. Now you must press the correct buttons to defeat Vetch but...........
By the end of this game, Haven is chained to a rock, the King is killed, Vetch escapes, and it's revealed that Chess is a traitor. If the player has collected all of the runestones, completed all the runes challenges and has all 8 (2 on Auria, 2 on Ferra, 2 on Ferven, one on Exarco, and 1 on Nequam) black diamonds, an alternate ending can be viewed.
The game was supposed to be a part of a trilogy, but due to incredibly poor sales, the story never continued or was ever finished.
Many of the missions require you to collect Cogs to operate machinery which will take you to another level or another part of the level.

is red in color with yellowish-white clouds as seen from space. On the surface the sky and ocean are pink. And clouds are red in sky (except for large continent-sized cirrus cloud
s. The continents are red, black, with some yellow coloring. Surface is completely covered with mountains, basins

) far left, Ferra & Nequam (2° angular diameter) center side by side, Auria (2° angular diameter) not too far to right. Day and night=15 min. Planets rise and set 6 minutes after sun in full or thin gibbous phases. When sun sets planets sets 15° to left from where the sun rose. Life on this planet wasn't observed long enough to make many conclusions except the fact that there is life, it is intelligent and there is flora underground.
Ferven is 35° tilted.

and many Archipelagos.Not much can be said about this planet
because the only level on Auria was the Golden Bell levels. The only thing that could be observed it that humans used to live there and is unknown if there are still around(they may be introduced from Ferra or earth
.Flora is just like earth and it was hinted that there may be giant bug/dragon creatures due to the statues at the golden bell. Day and night=16 min. In sky all planets are in gibbous phases (exception of Fareven which rises 15° below the sun). Planets rise 4 min after sun in order from left to right. Exarco (0°50~"),Nequam (3°41'~"), and Ferra (3°37'~").At times Nequam eclipses Exarco
Auria is tilted 11 degrees.
Fauna:unknown?(Humans{may have been introduced from Ferra or earth
and is unknown if they are still around}There are statues of an insect/dragon creature)May share Ferra's life-forms.
Flora: Earth-like. Also shares the same flora as Ferra or Earth
, ocean
, geography
, topography
, clouds, temp, & plant life. It is a little bigger than Earth and Auria , not very noticeable unless you look closely. Unlike Earth or Auria it has many medium and small continents with a variety of island
s. Many landmasses are scattered around the planet making it an islandish planet
.The only snow is on the north pole which is made of four main islands. Haven and most characters are from Ferra. The largest continent, Haven's continent, is briefly explored in the menu page like a video, when it repeats the planets at a different phase. That continent
and surrounding islands make the first half of the level
s on the game. The inhabitants are a variety of humans, humanoid reptiles and things (guards of Vetch that are either native or introduced), and bizarre animals like squid with large jaws, human sized insects & arachnids, carnivorous fish, electric fish
, and weird exotic plant
s. Day and night=12 minutes. Unique position of planets in sky. 90 degrees in front of the sun is a half phased Auria(4°) which rises at midnight being considered the early mourning "moon". Then Nequam(12°), minutes later, rises at dawn
being new moon
phase though the entire planet is visible seeing every surface feature. The sun follows only 0°30' angular diameter
s after Nequam. Fareven(2°30') rises 15° left of sun. Exarco(3°), about the same size of Auria, rises a little before noon, it rises 80° after sun. It is also 2° off to right when it rises from where the sun, Nequam, and Auria rose. You can't really see a phase
because the planet is gray making it hard to see the terminator
. At night Exarco is considered like the evening "moon" and when it sets, Auria, minuites later, rises and starts all over again.
Ferra is 22 degrees tilted and have powerful tides from Nequam.
Fauna: Humans, Ogre
-like creaturs, Vetch's guards (Reptile
-like humanoids and things{They may not be native})and a variety of Monstrous squid
s, human-sized bugs, man eating fish colonies(circum-global), electric fish, dragons,etc.
Flora:Earth
-like and Auria-like (they may be introduced from those planets)
s. Looks a bit like a light blue version of Uranus
from space. Like Neptune
it has high altitude streaks of white clouds that wrap around the planet like jetstreams(it could be that they are the jet stream
s). Also like Neptune
, when you see the circumference of the plant through the atmosphere its a different color, Neptune is pinkish in that area but Nequam is greenish. Though it has similarities to the ice giants the atmosphere
is hazy like Titan
(though it could be dust or an extremely thick pure-oxygen
atmosphere), and is a rocky planet. Continents are barely visible under the blue haze in the atmosphere. It is very cold and always snows year-round anywhere on the globe covering it in permanent frost
. From the surface the clouds and sky are dark blue while the ground is light blue (even though it is not really blue it is just the filtering of light, the rock is actually brown and the ice white). The ocean
is either, dried up leaving a dune
-covered desert
, evaporated into the hazed atmosphere probably making the haze covering the planet, or the ocean is still there just covered in sand
-like frost
or snow resembling a desert (except the sand is frost or snow). Unlike Titan the continents are visible through the clouds at a close distance. The once ocean is now a desert with large dunes. The ocean is replaced by a dune-full, vegetationless, shifting desert making it a bad place to live though it covers the majority of the planet. The Continents are tall mountainous lands with different topography than dune ocean and are streaked shaped sideways, look more like mountain ranges above ocean of flat desert even though they tend to be large enough to be considered "continents". It spins extremely rapidly covering a rotation in less than 6 minutes. It's very hard to tell order of planets and phases but planet sizes in sky easier. Auria(5°), Ferra(13°) huge in the night sky considered the moon(full phase). Exarco(3°). Fareven(3°0 rises 15 degrees left of sun when rise.. No vegetation but there is little thin oblong/cone shaped houses on the "landmasses."
Nequam is tilted 9 degrees.
Fauna: Probably extinct (there are clay huts that may be inhabited or remains of a past civilization)
Flora:Probably extinct too

of Nequam. Just like Nequam, the ocean is dried dune
less desert with nothing living on it and continents that look like mountains or mountain ranges. Unlike Nequam there is no haze and it doesn't snow
anywhere (only on the highest mountain
in the big continent). The majority of landmasses are of similar length and width, there are basins
and canyons on the landmasses, there is vegetation (which is weird because there is no visible surface water other than a large reservoirs and several smaller ones), and the planet
is gray with purple lines or spots. The inhabitants are turtle

noises) and fear xenos (human sized spiders & beetles with mammal brains, reptile jaws, and shark teeth) that steal emus in the night and cause harm and damage to surface dwellers. There are large caves underground with xenos and other beasts (tentacle

s in the sky is nearly the same as on Auria with some minor differences. Like it is the opposite order and is 90° before the sun not after, appearing in the night
before dawn
. Ferra(3°37') is the same size and rises first followed closely by Nequam(3°17') and Auria(0°48'). Instead of Nequam being slightly bigger than Ferra its Nequam that's slightly smaller and instead of Exarco barely covered by Nequam it's Auria barely covered by Nequam. It is the same size as Auria so the size of Auria in the sky is the same but because Nequam is smaller in that sky Auria looks bigger compared to Nequam. On every planet Fareven(1°47') is about the same size but on Exarco its slightly smaller and also Fareven rises 15°. Also when in all the other planet

Planets Trivia
There are five planets. Each is habitable with earth conditions and same sizes. Haven is from Ferra. You can see every other planet from the surface of planet, rising and setting like the sun at the same rate. In space you can see the differences from dark side and day side making phases like the moon but when in atmospheres you can see both sides (though you can still see difference). The only creatures seen were on Ferra and Exarco though all planets have life. All planets are 85% water or dried water bed.Ferven
Closer to sun than other planets but not by much. It has Earthly temperature and gasses with some red gassy hazeHaze

The ocean is replaced by a dune-full, vegetationless, shifting desert making it a bad place to live though it covers the majority of the planet. The Continents are tall mountainous lands with different topography than dune ocean and are streaked shaped sideways, look more like mountain ranges above ocean of flat desert even though they tend to be large enough to be considered "continents".
