(Jay, Arch) (edited)| Country Lore |
# Caythor Khanate
Once Caythor used to be the richest country in the region, but ever since Orakzeth has captured the upper half of the country, Caythor has been in decline. There currently isn't any fighting between Caythor and Orakzeth as the Blue Defence and Cosom Mines mountain ranges, as well as the Froge River, shield the rest of the country from further invasions. Caythor, the capital city is also shielded by mountains in all directions. The weather in Caythor is generally fairly warm, especially on the coast of the Harsol Sea.

South of Kondiz
# Imperial Federation of Orakzeth
You're from Orakzeth!
Orakzeth is one of the largest nations of the current age. It's capital, simply called Imperial Capital, is located on an island in the River Ork. Orakzeth is famous for its many mountain ranges: Great Field's End, Delta Peaks, Nework, Far Mountains and the Rivervale Hills. Despit its northern cold weather, the great Farm Canals in the western half of the federation allow Orakzeth to supply all its citizen with food.
Orakzeth decided to conquer many kingdoms and countries from the north. after their old capital was destroyed by mages, they moved it to the place it currently resides.
# Maritime Republic of Kondiz
Kondiz is a small but powerful and wealthy nation which originally started out as just the city state Kondiz (now the capital). Kondiz focuses on trading with all the other countries located around the Harsol Sea.
- South of Tharros
# Mindar
The capital of Mindar is the current location, Isdisit. In the north Mindar is separated from the Bleur Union by the Amordao Great Hills. Mindar is a prosperous kingdom due its rich agriculture, powered by the huge Hordo River which almost splits the country in half. Mindar is also notable for containing the mysterious city of Mystford.
Mindar fought against the Vulkanians for the control of the peninsula. Then they moved to secure the Sidrian Mountains and old Ankardia, so they conquered Tharros and Lusting-Sentia.
- South of the Bleur Union
# Mystical Isles of Prowtheran
Prowtheran is an isle group in the Harsol Sea, though it's just off the coast of Caythor, not much is known about it. Few try to reach the isles and even fewer return.

- South of Sultanate of Sun, North of Kondiz
# Sultanate of Sun
The Sultanate of Sun is a small country in the east. Its capital is Dawnville.
- South of Caythor, North of Tharros
# Vulkanian Empire
You're from the Vulkanian Empire!
The Vulkanian Empire is a very militaristic nation, while there haven't been any wars in recent years, the Empire is famous for its attempted conquest of Mindar, which had some success. One of the remenants of this war is the Vulkanian island just off the coast of Mindar. Their capital, Scoria was destroyed many years ago in a war, so a new capital, New Scoria was built east of the old one.
Vulkanians conquered the islands close to Mindar and fought many wars against Mindar, which all resulted in a stalemate. (edited)placeholder (edited)| Night 1 |
# Accountant Ertl Eswuh (Swurtle)
After the feast, you go check the castle's accounts once again. You had spotted something strange that requires further investigation. It seems that a not insignificant amount of sorums is secretly being transferred to a Vulkanian account every month. Who is responsible for this? Could it be the king himself?
# Bertram, the Northern Lord (Bemo)
After the feast, you decide to head to the southern tower to go to sleep. You're the first one to arrive there, which is a relief. The southern tower is far too crowded and you’re glad you managed to secure a bed. Now where did you leave your bags and your books?
# Bleur's Draconic Duke (Dragon)
The Scribe notes are sparse but they reveal some interesting things: “The Duke from Bleur, mysterious man from the north. Not much is known about this mysterious Duke, other than they’re the Duke of Midlands, a powerful duchy in the north. Note to self: Investigate this matter further."
# Blin the Armorer (Krem)
After the feast, you decided to check your inventory. While looking through your Armory, you notice a mannequin missing it’s chainmail! Wait, where is it’s helmet? Someone stole the spare Armor! Thief!
# Ciano from Glimford (Riciano)
You and Imperial Lady Anna, the Wife of the Imperial Knight Favik, retreat to your Kin’s Quarters. There you discuss your countries politics. “Silly Dukes and Lords, always fighting for the Duchies of Outherton and the Delta.” you remark. Lady Anna laughs “Let’s not forget Rivervale, they still suspect some mages to be hiding out in the hills. What a waste of time!”.
# Defender of the Blue Defence (Snivy)
While walking to your lodgings, you overhear a drunken Knight slandering the name of the King. You try to spy on this Knight, but it's too dim to see a thing! You try to sneak closer, but the Knight hears you slip on a pool of Beer and kiss the floor. The Knight takes off running and you end up with a bloody nose.
# Earl Nicholas of Nework (Nick)
After the feast, you meet up with your friend Duke Dristan Decima V̅I̅I̅I̅, to catch up. "Have you heard!?", he asks you, "your prince of Orakzeth was apparently kidnapped?". You're very surprised, the Prince is known to be a good fighter. "Are you sure?", you ask him. "Well, no...", he admits, "but he was supposed to be here and he never arrived. What else could've happened to him?"
# Ettard the Librarian (Ethan)
"Ugh, that incompetent Scribe, always messing things up. Now that I've sorted the scrolls again, let's get back to reading 'History of Tharros'. Hm, what's this? The royal Family of Cookies stems from the old city Ankardia, now part of Mindar. So the Knight of Cookies must be Mindari, interesting. "
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
As you make your way to southern tower where you will sleep, you suddenly see a flash of magic. And you recognize it for what it is. Somebody has just used magic. While magic is unknown to most people in the current age, Prowtheran harbors a significant community of mages who escaped from the massacre. Was there a mage secretly hiding among the visitors?
# Imperial Knight Favik (Alphaviki)
After the feast you can’t believe your eyes. Ist that your good friend, Sultan Soolet XIII of the Sun Sultanate? You get a chance to catch up and you hangout late into the night. You tell your friend you joined the tourney as a Knight for your Imperial Federation. You also note you haven’t seen your Noble since arriving.
# Imperial Lady Anna
After dining with your Husband, Favik, you decide to join Mr. Ciano to your Quarters. While sipping your blue wine from the Rivervale Wineyards, the Companion comments: “Silly Dukes and Lords, always fighting for the Duchies of Outherton and the Delta.”. You laugh and make a snide remark: “Let’s not forget Rivervale, they still suspect some mages to be hiding out in the hills. What a waste of time!”. (edited)# Khan Kira of Caythor (Akira)
Before the feast began, you saw a strange man peeking through the west tower's door slit. You observe him looking left and right and running out the room as fast as the wind. Only thing you can remember are his blue robes, shining with importance.
# King Krus II of Mindar (Kruthers)
The Engineer notes in his blueprints: “The King foolishly hid within the crowd. Something could’ve happened to him! Good thing all participants somehow forgot how the King looks, somehow. This is very strange. After mingling with the crowd and courting some nobles, the Queen and he retreated to their chambers.”
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
“Oh, by the Lords, what a beautiful dress this is, my Queen!” you say with excitement, as you help the Queen dress for the feast. Apparently the dress was only just finished by the Dressmaker.
# Melodie the Dressmaker (Meuh)
After tirelessly working throughout the last few nights, you finally managed to sew together the red velvet dress for your Queen. Made from the finest materials sourced from all over the continent, the dress shines with valor. There might be some blood stains from you accidentally poking yourself with the needle a couple (well, rather many, many) times, but you just pass it of as your brilliant design choice.
# Noisy Merchant from Kondiz (Noise)
Watch out for the knights, you always keep an eye on those bloody hypocrites. You know they always raid your trading ships, snip at your wealth, and certainly they up to no good at this tourney as well. As soon as you turn around you feel a person slip by and you caught them running towards the west tower. You briefly notice the Imperial seal and you rush to report them to the guards, however, they managed to slip out of your grip and sneak away. You are very sure you saw them run into the west tower.
# Pechang, the Pirate Captain (Jay Shapechange)
As a pirate captain you consider it your duty to know all about hidden treasures. Just now you heard rumors of a treasure chest hidden in the northern room. Only problem? You did not know how to get there. Maybe somebody else could retrieve it for you?
# Quartermaster Andar (Jean D. Arch)
After the feast, you decided to look around if you could find some treasures. You didn’t manage to find anything. Turns out it’s not that efficient to wear two eyepatches at the same time. But you did stumble on a cryptic note simply saying: "It's always sixteen." What could that even mean?
# Queen Perete of the Remnants (harperette)
While visiting the Royal Physician, someone nicks your signature blue shirt from the dressing room! Who could’ve done such a mean thing? The nice doctor lends you his spare attire and you proceed to search the halls for the thief.
# Random Peasant (Mat)
Peasants aren't invited to the tourney, but you snuck in anyway. Of course, you didn't get a room so you're sleeping in the gardens. It's not much less comfortable than your usual accommodations. You watch as a Santori man walking through the gardens. Did he also not get a room? After a while he leaves the gardens through the western exit, so looks like he did get a room after all.
#Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
While heading towards the castle grounds to get some practice before the tourney, you find a note on the ground. "Plenwut thae proireboity. Dvae khylyedy soirwume thae bwudet neshy." is written on it. You can identify this as Caythori, however as a knight from the Vulkanian Empire you never were afforded the opportunity to understand a second language. What could it mean? You finally reached the castle grounds where you met your friend the Knight of the Cookies. A long time ago the two of you had squired together. (edited)# Ser Curtis of Caythor (Katy)
After the feast, you see a beautiful woman run towards the southern stairs. Her beautiful parakeet dress, littered with emeralds like the starry night sky, makes you forget what you were supposed to be guarding. Well, if you forgot, it probably wasn’t that important, right?
# Sozu, Caythori Baron (Suso)
While sitting at the feast, you see a royal, fully dressed in red silk. You remember the Queen was bragging about her new red dress, ugh. She suddenly stands up and runs off towards a tower, but due to your excessive drinking, you can't tell which one it was.
# Sultan Soolet XIII (The8thSoul)
After the feast your friend the Imperial Knight Favik approaches you. You get a chance to catch up and you hangout late into the night. He tells you he joined the tourney as a Knight for his Imperial Federation. You're happy to see your friend again. You haven't seem him since shortly after he was first knighted.
# The Knight of Cookies (TheOreo)
While stationed outside your noble’s quarters, you see a shady figure sneaking into the east tower. Wasn’t this a person you’d seen discussing something with the Queen before the feast? You were told to guard your post, so you leave the figure to ascent the east tower.
# Verian Rahier, Tourney Planner (Vera)
"Yes, yes." you say begrudgingly. "If you're here to partake in the tourney, tell me" you say with rolling eyes, "or you can't join.". After the signups closed and the feast began, you announce the brave knights: "Hear ye, hear ye! These brave Knights signed up for the Tourney: The Knight of Cookies, Ser Curtis of Caythor, Imperial Knight Favik, Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton and Ser Luned of Cosom". You finish your speech, but something isn't right. Did you drink too much or are there 5 Knights on your list when only 4 signed up?
# Wylliam of New Scoria (Wyatt)
Tired from the festivities, you take a stroll through the moonlit gardens. While relaxing, you hear commotion coming from the armory. "Thief! I must locate the armor before someone does something stupid." You see the Armorer grumpily sneak in the northern tower, searching for something. (edited)| Day 1 |
# Ettard the Librarian (Ethan)
In the morning, you decide to continue reading a book you've been reading: 'History of Caythor'. Hm, what's this? Ser Curtis of Caythor, fought in Orakzeth's attempted invasion across the Froge River and was afterwards knighted by the Khan of Caythor himself for his valor in battle.
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
While on duty on your job as a maid you discover something in a room. It's a note somebody seems to have left on the floor. Why all those nobles insist on littering is beyond you. Anyway. You decide to read the note:
Dear Evrain,
its nice to finally write to you again. My first words, first written letters to you even are the following. How has Sordee been this time of year? Has | it been as nice as Mindar? Surely not? Anyway, how have you been? Well, that's enough questions. I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Wolfgang.
What a strange note. Does it mean anything?
# Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
In the morning, you try to prepare for the tourney. However you quickly notice that you had forgotten your chainmail at home, so you decide to ask your friend, The Knight of Cookies, if they have a spare.
# Ser Luned of Cusom (Luffy)
While eating at the table of the Caythori delegation, you introduce yourself to Mr. Tubertus T. Legarda. Confusion arises when Mr. Tubertus greets you in some unknown language ("Poidrevlaenie"). Confused, you decide to flee the table.
# Sozu, Cathyori Baron (Sosu)
Before the tourney, you approach Ser Curtis of Caythor. You haven't met him before the tourney, but as you are from te same country you want to show your support. You ask him how much the tourney prize is. He tells you its two thousand sorums. You also ask him whether he has a plan to win. He just repeats the word back at you as if your question was ridiculous, then goes on to explain how his plan is to simply be the best.
# The Knight of Cookies (TheOreo)
In the morning, your friend and competitor, Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton approaches you. He asks you if you have a spare chainmail, as he had forgotten his. Ser Bartholomew is always forgetful, you remember. The last time you were at a tourney together, he forgot his entire armor (edited)| Night 2 |
# Accountant Ertl Eswuh (Swurtle)
In the evening, you once again look over the accounts. The discrepancy would not stop bothering you. Who was responsible for the transferral of these sorums? It must have been somebody very high ranking for you to be none the wiser about it. Not many candidates come to mind. It could be the King of course, or perhaps the Queen. The Tourney Organizer has been allowed to spend the crown's sorums too, so maybe them?
# Defender of the Blue Defence (Snivy)
In the evening, Mr. Turbertus T. Legarda approaches you and bombards you with questions regarding your battle plans. And all that while you're on a well earned vacation. "Thae toi proireboity?" he finally asks you and you simply tell him "Toi thae proireboity".
# Earl Nicholas of Nework (Nick)
So it turns out your prince was pretending to be a knight all along. Looks like he wasn't kidnapped after all. They pulled the same stunt some years ago in the eastern Capitals…
# Ettard the Librarian (Ethan)
While looking through your books, you find a lexicon of some important personalities of Mindar. You open it and a Note falls out: Seek out the Profession, that dislikes the Orakzeth, was born south of the Amordao and studied in the eastern Capitals. Interested, you decide to read the book.
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
In the evening, you finally have some more time to investigate who the magic user is. You make your way to the gardens to see if its any of the people staying there. However, nothing in the gardens feels particularly magical. It seems unlikely that a magic user would be staying here
# Imperial Knight Favik (Alphaviki) (fake)
You had little to do this afternoon, so you wander around the castle excited. You travelled all the way from the Imperial Federation of Orakzeth for this Tourney and you plan on forging better relations with the neighbouring countries, because many people sadly dislike the Empire for its territorial conquests. This is when you notice a hooded shadow disappear into the kitchen, but as soon as you enter the room, it is empty.
# Khan Kira of Caythor (Akira)
After the attempted poisoning, you invited Ser Curtis of Caythor to have some drinks. "Some drinks" quickly escalated until you finally passed out drunk, not to awaken until the morning.
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
While you're cleaning a room in the east of the castle you suddenly hear some noises. You look around but can't see anyone anywhere. You continue working, but then you hear the noises again. You thought the southern tower was the hunted section of the castle, so what is going on here?
# Mr. Turbertus T. Legarda (Turtle)
Before you go to sleep, you meet up with the Defender of the Blue Defence. As a citizen of Caythor the growing number of attempts by northern enemies of the country to cross the Blue Defence has you worried, so you go to ask the Defender himself about the situations. You both dislike your northern neighbours. He explains a recent plan to repel the invaders. "Will it work?" you ask him. "It will work." he affirms.
# Random Peasant (Mat)
This is boring. So boring. Just like your home village, south of the Amordao. There's nothing to do here. And you're starving. Because you snuck in, you aren't invited to the feasts. This sucks. You decide to walk around in the gardens again. In the east corner you find a suspicious spot. It appears as if somebody had ripped out whatever was growing here. Strange.
# Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
This tourney hasn't been nearly as interesting as you would've thought. You're honestly kind of disappointed and annoyed at the Orakzeth. You had travelled all the way here from the far south of the Vulkanian Empire, but now you're not so sure it was a great idea. You should've just stayed in Bartholoton. Well, you should hopefully be able to return to Vulkanian soon enough. (edited)# Ser Curtis of Caythor (Katy)
After the attempted poisoning, Khan Kira of Caythor invited you to have some drinks. "Some drinks" quickly escalated until you finally passed out drunk, not to awaken until the morning. And to think your days in the eastern Capitals gave you the ability to drink more…
# Sozu, Caythori Baron (Suso) (fake)
In the evening, you decide to take a walk around the gardens, as there isn't much to do in the castle. You only have to wait for Ser Curtis of Caythor's victory, which you are confident in. Surely he'll be able to take the prize and pride your home nation of Caythor. As you head back to the eastern tower, you see a figure carrying a big bag. Have they dropped something? They disappear before you can do anything about it.
#The Knight of Cookies (TheOreo)
You were guarding the royal chambers. It was very awkward as there were audible moans coming from the chambers. You wished you were guarding something else. To drown out the noises, you tried to remember your time in Kondiz. It got especially awkward when a person that clearly was neither the king nor the queen left the chamber. You hoped to get a better assignment next time.
# Vezian Rahier, Tourney Planner (Vera)
It's finally evening, and you can at last return to your room. This tourney has turned out to be a bit of a disaster, and while none of it was your fault, it is still very frustrating. The accommodations were all planned out perfectly, and what does the King do at the last minute? Mess everything up, so nobody would notice him pretending to be a guest to. Just... why? You've also heard that the guests of the southern tower managed to annoy Sir Spookington so much that he moved to another tower. Unbelievable and absolutely maddening! (edited)| Day 2 |
# Defender of the Blue Defence (Snivy)
the defender of the blue defense has never stolen and never will steal prize money
# Earl Nicholas of Nework (Nick)
When you woke up you discovered that the northern tower had been locked. It seems to have been locked the entire night, trapping all its resident within it.
# Ettard the Librarian (Ethan)
In the morning you decide to read anoter book. This time one about magic. `Only the darkest of spells have the color black. Even on the isles of Prowtheran where magic is still tolerated, *nobody* would dare to cast such magic.`
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
While you're checking out the northern room for signs of magic, you see a flash of magic in a different part of the castle. It appears to be a black spell. Who is this magic user?
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
Still scared from what happened when you were working last night, you decided to not work today.
# Sozu, Caythori Baron (Suso) (fake)
You finally got some good sleep tonight. In fact, you overslept. You wake up in the eastern tower and notice one of your attires is missing. Wasn't it here yesterday? (edited)BackupBackup| Nationalities |

# Accountant Ertl Eswuh (Swurtle)
In the evening, you went back to work. While the weird payments wouldn't leave your mind, there was work to do. You noted down some information:
|35733₰ transferred to Caythor (food purchases)
|28₰ transferred to the Maid (yearly wage)
|57₰ transferred to the Armorer (yearly wage)
|248₰ transferred to the Tourney Planner (monthly wage)
|250₰ transferred to Sordee (to pacify them after Evrain's death)
|3₰ transferred to the Apprentice Scribe (yearly wage)
# Bertram, the Northern Lord (Bemo)
After the feast is over a cloaked person walks up to you and whispers to you: "What worked once, might work again. Of two, seek out the other one.". They quickly hurry away, before you can look to see who they are
# Blin the Armorer (Krem)
In the evening, you find a strange letter adressed to nobody in the armory.
My Goal: Stop The Reaving. As Such: Take This Clue. End This. Thou Have My Thanks.
# Defender of the Blue Defence (Snivvy)
As you head back to your room, you bump into someone sneaking into the main building. You don't get a good look at their face, but you think they were wearing Vulkanian colors.
# Ettard the Librarien (Ethan)
Finally the day was over and you could return to your books. You picked up "Agriculture of Caythor":
Bludgret, named after the famous red grained wheat, just north of the Khan river is one of the main agricultural centers of Caythor. The harvest here is so rich, that much of the wheat produced here is shipped to Caythor's neighbor, even all the way through the Khantons to Dawnville.
Interesting, books are brilliant. You learn something new every day.
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
You had finally managed to convince another person to join you on your haunt for magic. You and Wyliam of New Scoria would watch the eastern parts of the castle for signs of magic all night. If anyone dared to use magic here you would know. This user of the foulest of magic could not avoid you forever.
# Imperial Knight Favik (Alphaviki)
You had finally managed to convince your captors to let you out of the dungeons. But now you were to be locked into your room for the entire night. At least your wife would be able to stay with you.
# Mr. Turbertus T. Legarda (Turtle
After the feast, you find a crumbled note on the ground. Clearly somebody had found it before and thrown it away. "It's always sixteen." it still says.
# Pechang, the Ghost Captain (Jay Shapechange)
As you haunt the grounds of the castle, you have a realisation. Dying only made you even cooler. Fuck yeah, dude.
# Sozu, Caythori Baron (Suso)
You can't believe you actually got away with it. Not a single person thought you were to blame for the stolen prize.
# Sultan Soolet XIII
After the feast in the evening, a messenger from the Sultanate approaches here. It seems he they had rushed to reach you as quickly as possible. The messenger has the most grievous of news: "The Plague has broken out in the Sultanate! You must return immediately, this requires immediate action." You dismissed the messenger and decided to extend your stay in Mindar. You had no interest potentially catching the plague and dying, you prefered to wait it out until the situation improved.
# The Knight of Cookies (TheOreo)
To your great disappointment you were assigned the same guard duty again. And had to bear witness to the same series of events once again. You really did not want to think about it any more than that.
# The Queen of Mindar (Phantomic)
All this intrigue is not what you had in mind for the tourney. Lots of things had happened that you did not expect. In particular the attempted poisoning of the king is something you did not like. Gladly would you cancel this tourney in hindsight, but it was too late to do so now. Nothing could be done about it now. (edited)# Wyliam of New Scoria (Wyatt)
You had been talked into "looking out for magic" by that weirdo from the mystical isles. Magic wasn't real, everyone knew that. Or perhaps it was real once upon a time, but certainly not in the current age. Anyway, you didn't want to be rude so you agreed, but you already regretted it now. Staying awake all night to watch for magic did not seem like fun. (edited)| Day 3 |
# Earl Nicholas of Nework (Nick)
You were invited by Duke Dristan Decima V̅I̅I̅I̅ to discuss new trade deals
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
Halfway through the night, Wyliam of New Scoria got too bored and decided to leave you alone. But at that point you decided you had watched the eastern sections enough, no magic was to be found here. So you decided to head over to the western sections and watch out for magic there. Once again, you were unsuccessful.
# King Krus II of Mindar (Kruthers)
You spent the night hanging out in the royal chambers. The royal chambers were located in the central tower, a section of the main building just dedicated to them. It was a great place to stay in.
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
With Ettard the Librarian, his room needed to be emptied of all his belongings. It was filled with many books. Out of curiosity you decided to pick up a random book, apparently named "Diseases and their Cures" and read it:
|While the plague is a deadly and fast spreading disease, it has become much easier to cure with modern medicine.
# Pechang, the Ghost Captain (Jay)
Shit is still bopping. You're still cool as fuck.
# Quartermaster of the Blue Seas (Snivy)
During the night, some people cornered you and found out you were the third pirate. But, they weren't angry, they just congratulated you. It seems most people hated the Caythori more than the pirates.
# The Queen of Mindar (Phantomic)
You spent the night hanging out in the royal chambers. The royal chambers were located in the central tower, a section of the main building just dedicated to them. It was a great place to stay in. (edited)| Night 4 |
# Bleur's Draconic Duke (Dragon)
In the evening, you had a brilliant idea. You had heard some other tower was planning to throw a party, and you wanted to do the same here. So you gathered everyone in the eastern tower. Once all the residents of the eastern tower had gathered you brought up your suggestion. The others were not so excited. How disappointing.
# Ettard the Librarian (Ethan)
as a ghost you travel through the castle, you stumble on the apprentice scribe watching people masturbate in the western chamber, he seems to be painting the scene for later use
# Imperial Knight Favik (Alphaviki)
You went to the gardens to mourn. Your wife had been murdered, you still could not believe it. You considered returning to Orakzeth as early as possible and escape this terrible place.
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
The Earl asked you to go to his room to clean it up. But the door of his room was locked. You were happy, that means you would get the evening off.
# Mr. Turbertus T. Legarda (Turtle)
While walking through the corridors, you hear a whisper. "It worked onse, twiece and thrince. What now?" it says. What could it mean?
# Noisy Merchant from Kondiz (Noise)
You were talking with the Pirate Captain Andar. Being a pirate seemed interesting to you. It's almost like owning merchant ships lik you did, except you just got the profit without having to sell any products. It seemed better honestly. During the conversation you were surprised by the undeniable aura of a spell being cast in the castle somewhere. You hoped the culprit could be caught soon.
# Ser Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
It seems a few people figured out it was you. Luckily, what you did wasn't illegal. And, nobody cheated on anyone. So really, you didn't do anything wrong. You're not sure how you felt about the announcement that the king would marry you, but it didn't really seem like you had any choice.
# Ser Curtis of Caythor (Katy)
Shortly after you had finally returned to your room, Bleur's Draconic Duke called you to join all the other residents of the eastern tower. Apparently he wanted to party. Honestly, you just wanted to sleep. Luckily, most people didn't seem particularly excited about the idea, so no party was going to happen.
# Sultan Soolet XIII (The8thSoul)
You received another missive from your country. Apparently, the situation with the plague was rapidly getting worse. You weren't concerned however. A few peasants dying hardly was a concern for you.
# Vezian Rahier, Tourney Planner (Vera)
The King a*s*ked you to meet up to help *o*ut with some last-minute planning. But on the door of his chamber, you find a note saying that he will, sadly eno*u*gh, not be able to meet up after all. Disappoin*t*ed, you go back to your room to go over your plans again, all on your own t*h*is time. (edited)| Night 5 |
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
Well, you've caught the evil mage,so there's nothing for you to do anymore. Bored out of your mind, you decide to nick some books from the library, since the grumpy librarian died and you had unlimited access now.
While reading up on some some of the laws of Mindar, you notice a paragraph marked with an ❗: "None shall wear green dresses, for green only exists through magic. People caught wearing this heinous color will be executed without a trial."
Luckily, you didn't bring anything green with you, anyways. It also explains why you had never seen anyone wear a green dress during the tourney.
# King Krus II of Mindar (Kruthers)
Many fields away after leaving your Royal Chamber and the Castle itself, you hear a loud kaboom and the Queen, your now wife, begins screaming hystericaly. "The Eastern Tower has been attacked!". You spent too much on your honeymoon already, so you don't feel like cancelling this trip; Those idiots can take care of the mess, anyway.
# Queen Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
You hear a loud kaboom coming from the castle. When you look, you notice that the castle suspiciously lacks the Eastern Tower. You scream at your newlywed Husband that the tower was blown up. He does not seem to care, even though the attack could've killd him as well.
# Vezian Rahier, Tourney Planner (Vera)
It was ridiculous how your help was required with extinguishing the fire and still they directly threw you back into the #dungeons afterwards. But this time there guards weren't as careful as last time, and you were prepared. As soon as nobody was looked you'd escape from your cell.
# Sozu, Caythori Baron (Suso)
Who could've done such a thing? Who would DARE attack the mighty Caythor! Must be those pesky Mindarians, I know they're trying to destabilise our Khanate! I just need to find who it was... (edited)| Day 5 |
# Bertram, the Northern Lord (Bemo)
Lord Bertram had a very difficult evening. First, his third favourite Horse, Federick the III, died; Then, everyone got drunk and started drunkenly annoying him, because he didn't want to drink. Leaving the drunkards to their business and wanting some rest, he noticed Ser Curtis of Caython wandering the halls with a bloody sword; But just as soon as he tried to report the Ser, someone threw up all over him. Done with all this shit, he washed himself and went to sleep
# Hugh of the Mystical Isles (Huckhuck)
The Scribe notes his talk with the Mage from Prowtheran: "The Mage spent the whole night trying too teach me how to use the pensieve I found hidden in the cellar. While stalking people through it, I saw the Duke roasting... a horse leg?... in the Eastern Tower Ruins."
# Leigh the Maid (Leila)
"Once again, I need to clean up after all the insane people killing people around here." you say begrudgingly. "Well, I did read the book on Medicine, might as well examine the corpse.". At a glance, you notice a very, very big hole on the head; It appears the head was smashed in.
# Queen Bartholomew of Bartholoton (Bart)
A paragraph from the history book:
"[...] After the tragic passing of Sir Federick the III (the title was posthumously awarded), Queen Bartholomew of Bartholoton decided to drink away their sorrows. Well, "drink" is an understatement. The Queen and Khan Kira drank a barrel of blue wine each and passed out in the Royal Bath House. [...]"
# Random Peasant (Mat)
Being a Peasant and having no access to alcohol, you reach tipsiness after only a few sips of your beer and when you finish your jug, you are already very drunk. That, however, didn't stop you from drinking one, two, three, four further jugs, to the point where you had to throw up. Luckily, that Northern Lord was in perfect range for you to projectile vomit all over his purple robes. Take that, nobility! After that, you passed out on the floor... in your own puke.
# Vezian Rahier the Heretic (Vera)
Everyone mourned all through the night and went to bed very late. You notice that the castle is still asleep, so you seize the opportunity. You use a big ball of magic to break through your chains and unlock the cell. You notice that the guard is gone, but you don't care. You are free once again. (edited)
