The Citadel of Chaos

The Citadel of Chaos is a single-player role-playing gamebook written by Steve Jackson, illustrated by Russ Nicholson and originally published in 1983 by Puffin Books. It was later republished by Wizard Books in 2002. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is the second in the series in both the Puffin (ISBN 0-14-031603-5) and Wizard (ISBN 1-84046-389-9) series.

The Citadel of Chaos had a similar goal and setting to the first Fighting Fantasy gamebook, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, with the protagonist exploring the antagonist's lair (in this case, the titular Citadel of Chaos) with the intention of slaying him. However The Citadel of Chaos removed the key-collecting mechanism of the previous book and expanded the rules with the inclusion of a magic system. This system would be further developed by Steve Jackson in the later Sorcery! series.
