This is just a short walkthrough. These maps can help you a lot while reading it. They are also available for download. All of the important creatures and places are marked on the maps.

The walkthrough doesn't describe how to solve the (sub)quests precisely, or how to win the battles. You can find a lot of information about these in the Battles and Quests subsections. Optional subquests/actions are marked with an asterisk (*).
