From the back cover:

The High Council of Pellham is floundering. A restless populace claims nothing has gone right since the last king was deposed, nearly two centuries ago, and the political situation is turning ugly. Hope comes from a monastic order, the Brothers of Brie, in the form of an ancient prophecy. A long-forgotten king will rise in the hour of Pellham's greatest need and restore order, according to the Brothers. Can you prove that this is indeed the time for prophecy? Can you recover the keys to the tomb of the Forgotten King? The prophecy will not come to pass unless YOU succeed!

The Forgotten King is the first in a series of four RPGA modules concerning the Prophecy of Brie. It is an AD&D adventure for 6-10 characters, levels 4-7, that was originally run as a tournament at the GEN CON XVI Convention. It contains two wilderness adventures, background information, maps, and detailed encounter keys.

Is the cover art by Caldwell?

And: Was the module available in shrinkwrap foil?

Cover art was by Timothy Truman.
Frontispiece is by Clyde Caldwell.

I assume frontispiece means the front of the module booklet. There is an illustration there with his symbol.

I do not know if it originally came shrinkwrapped or not.

RPGA 1 did come shrinkwrapped, but I couldn't say about the others.
