Welcome to the Dungeons. Magic has been outlawed for many centuries since the massacre at the conclave of mages. For your crimes you have been imprisoned.
I was cornered by multiple knights who questioned my honour, I had to defend myself :( But the death of my beloved prince made me realise that violence does not solve this problem and I am therefore begging for your understanding. We only seek peace and do not wish to disrupt the careful balance between our nations!
οΈ With everyone distracted by the funeral, you seize the opportunity. You use a big of magic to break through your chains and unlock the cell. You are free once again.
