The
WITHERED CROWN
START GAME
So… you seek the truth. The ruler has vanished… and the kingdom stands on the edge of uncertainty.
You have been chosen to uncover what happened. To determine who is responsible.
You must speak to those within the kingdom. You do not have the luxury of time.
You may speak to only FIVE individuals. Some will guide you… others will waste your time… choose wisely.
Where you choose to look… will determine what you find.
When your time is gone… you must decide. Who is responsible for the ruler’s disappearance.
and you… may be the one blamed.
You may find more than one character in any given location.
WHERE WILL YOU INVESTIGATE?

I assume you have begun to see the state our ruler was in. They had become… uncertain.
A kingdom cannot survive hesitation. Difficult decisions must be made when stability is threatened.
The court was divided. Ambition… fear… doubt.
Such things spread quickly in positions of power. I did what I could to preserve order.

If you wish to understand what happened… look where no one else would. Truth is rarely held by those in power.

They wouldn’t listen to me anymore… Everyone just… accepted it. Like nothing was wrong. It made me angry.
The Knight stood by and said nothing. And the Mage… he told me everything was under control.
He was always there. Always watching. I think they knew something was wrong. He should be able to tell you more than I.

My liege was not themselves… not in the end. A ruler cannot hesitate. Not when lives depend on them.
If something was done… it was for the good of the kingdom. The Mage? He remained loyal. Always.
Fortunately the Mage was always at their side. But the court grew divided. The Heir… questioned too much.

At least the Mage kept order. Without him, the city would have torn itself apart.

No one tells us anything. We hear one thing in the morning and another by dusk. I heard the Knight knew more than he said.
And the Heir? Always looked angry. Always watching. Maybe it was the court. Maybe they all wanted power.
The Mage? No… no, he helped people. He wouldn’t do such a thing.

The matter is under control. No one has been charged. No official accusation has been made.

WITHERED CROWN
START GAME
So… you seek the truth. The ruler has vanished… and the kingdom stands on the edge of uncertainty.
You have been chosen to uncover what happened. To determine who is responsible.
You must speak to those within the kingdom. You do not have the luxury of time.
You may speak to only FIVE individuals. Some will guide you… others will waste your time… choose wisely.
Where you choose to look… will determine what you find.
When your time is gone… you must decide. Who is responsible for the ruler’s disappearance.
and you… may be the one blamed.
You may find more than one character in any given location.
WHERE WILL YOU INVESTIGATE?

And the Heir? Always looked angry. Always watching. Maybe it was the court. Maybe they all wanted power.
The Mage? No… no, he helped people. He wouldn’t do such a thing.

The matter is under control. No one has been charged. No official accusation has been made.
The court continues to govern in the ruler’s absence.
The Mage has acted only in the kingdom’s interest.If there was disloyalty, it came from nearer the throne than the Tower.

Strange, is it not… how quickly certainty replaces doubt. When all voices agree… truth is often absent.
You are listening to those who are seen. But those who are overlooked… often witness the most.

They wouldn’t listen to me anymore… Everyone just… accepted it. Like nothing was wrong. It made me angry.
The Knight stood by and said nothing. And the Mage… he told me everything was under control.
He was always there. Always watching. I think they knew something was wrong. He should be able to tell you more than I.

My liege was not themselves… not in the end. A ruler cannot hesitate. Not when lives depend on them.
If something was done… it was for the good of the kingdom. The Mage? He remained loyal. Always.
Fortunately the Mage was always at their side. But the court grew divided. The Heir… questioned too much.

Business has rotted since all this began. The ruler was weak by the end. Everyone could see it.
Some say the court was split. Too many hands near the throne. The Heir was restless. Ambitious, maybe.
At least the Mage kept order. Without him, the city would have torn itself apart.

But power… is rarely where truth resides.
The kingdom accepts your judgement. And continues… unchanged.
