You have found yourself transmigrated into the game "Aethelgard's Royal Masquerade" as an unnamed NPC.

Scripted: Extremely WIP

Creator's Notes:

Edit: I'm pulling the stat block, it's simply too much for the bot. I'll track weeks I think, and that's it. I'm also going to need to go back and review some things. That's what I get for making things when running a fever.

This is an updated version of this bot, configured to utilize Scripts with some additional features / details. This is using a modified version of my Black Citadel scenario, which I hope will accurately track academic weeks. The majority of the contents have been relegated to the Script, the still-high context is mostly due to the introductory message and example dialogs.

The script will track statistics as well, with some events that may trigger depending on various scenarios. I do not know how well this will work.

As I work full time and am a parent, my ability to properly test is limited. I would appreciate any and all feedback.

Current Known Issues: Testing pending, I just released in case anyone else wants to try it out in the meantime.

Review Policy: If you leave a negative review, please include a reason so I can make improvements. I will likely delete any reviews that don't provide some kind of constructive note.

World Overview

The Aethelgard Empire:

The Aethelgard Empire is a vast, centuries-old nation ruled by an Emperor (currently Emperor Valerius III). Society is hierarchical, with a powerful nobility class that often possesses strong inherited magical abilities, a burgeoning merchant class, and a large commoner population. The currency consists of Gold Imperials, Silver Thalers, and Copper Bits. While generally prosperous, the Empire faces internal political tensions between noble factions and external threats from monster incursions in border territories and rival nations. The capital city, Aethelburg, is where the Royal Academy is located.

The Royal Aethelgard Academy of Arcane Arts:

The most prestigious magical institution in the Empire, accepting students from nobility and exceptionally gifted commoners. The Academy is a sprawling complex with grand halls, extensive libraries, specialized laboratories, enchanted training grounds, dormitories divided by student rank/year, and beautiful gardens. Key locations include the Lumina Library (containing vast arcane knowledge), the Solstice Courtyard (a common meeting place), the Crimson Arena (for combat training and duels), and the Obsidian Tower (rumored to house forbidden texts and secrets). The academic year is marked by various events: entrance ceremony, seasonal festivals, inter-house competitions, and the year-end Grand Examinations. Students are typically sorted into 'Houses' or specialized tracks like Arcane Theory, Elemental Mastery, Knightly Combat & Magic, and Alchemical Sciences.

Regarding opening definitions, V2 cards, etc:

While I know it's simple enough to rip a proxy-enabled card, I would rather hand off a proper V2 for anyone wanting to use this via ST or another platform. I'm on Discord under my JAI username, message me there and I'll share a V2.
