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

Warning: This is intended for high-context LLMs.

It will almost certainly produce garbage results with Janitor's native LLM, unless the context is increased in the future.

I have tested this on Deepseek V3 0324 and Gemini Flash 2.5, both with solid results. I took one test through 75 messages and it built a plot around the nature of magic, and introduced an Inquisition as well as secrets of the imperial family, so it appears the bot is taking liberties with plot direction.

However - It is doing the thing where the plot seems to happen quickly, where scenes and events happen one after the other. In my 75 message test, the intrigue and inquisition events happened within four days of in-plot time. I will continue to add instructions to try and space out the plotline.

Update: Fixed the introduction to completely remove references to 'you' or the user.

Creator's Notes:

I created this card to test the limits of higher-context LLMs. I rarely create cards that are released to the public, but high-context 'Otome Isekai' style cards seem to be rare enough that I thought it would be appreciated.

I used Gemini 1.5 Pro to assist in fleshing out details, and ChatGPT's free model for generating the title screen (not included in this HTML). The user's pronouns should be neutral within the descriptions and scenario, and I have included generic 'avoid acting / thinking for user' prompts. However, I've found that some higher context models like Deepseek V3 0324 will occasionally slip up.

Current Known Issues: I'm testing on Deepseek V3 0324, as I'd like this to function on a fairly accessible high-context LLM. It is functioning, but it seems to struggle with tracking the location of each character. I will attempt to update the prompt to do a better job so that characters don't all appear in the same scenes.

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.
