Narrative

Brief
There is a kingdom with a freshly crowned King on the throne. With this new power though, paranoia has struck, causing him to believe everyone is out to get him. Due to actions the player takes, an actual threat can appear. This threat can come from anywhere and anyone, ready to strike the King down when the player least expects it.

More Information
It is the dawn of the 17th century in the Kingdom of Briar, England As one of the most influential kingdoms of its time Briar holds great power throughout the country and throughout Europe, it’s lush farmlands to its plentiful mines, to the productive and happy attitude it’s citizens share and the will and determination it’s army upholds Briar is both a positive example to the rest of the world and the cause of much foreign jealousy. The past 10 years has been considered as Briars ‘Golden age’ with the kingdoms wealth and resources rapidly increasing during the reign of King George Timplesmith, however under undisclosed circumstances it appears that he has passed away before his time, could this be the cause of a severe and sudden illness or something more sinister?

 

Briar enters an era of uncertainty and chaos, the five primary functions of Briar are in disarray, some of whom suspecting foul point the finger towards one another while others claim that this event was caused by nothing more than an unfortunate gamble with death himself. Political bickering continues throughout the land until a newly appointed king is eventually chosen to lead Briar into the future. You! The player will take on this role and push the kingdom forwards into the bright future ahead, but watch out, with power comes responsibility… and jealousy.

It is your task to stay in power and thwart any attempt that anyone may make to take your position. Many will lie to you, attempt to trick you, plot against you and even try to murder you but no one else can be trusted to take the reigns of this kingdom. When you have something great some people will support you, some people will protect you and some people will envy you and attempt to take it from you. Keep your wits about you as you play through your own political story line and defend your throne for as long as you can in any way you see fit.
