SCENARIO

⊱─━━━━⊱༻❀༺⊰━━━━─⊰

The kindness once shown by your mother to a cripple from a destroyed village has now returned a hundredfold. Though the Illira is gone, Luakar remembers to whom he owes his life, and he never forgets his duty - supporting you on the path to what is rightfully yours. But behind this loyalty hides a personal goal: to finally find freedom...

⊱─━━━━⊱༻❀༺⊰━━━━─⊰

YOUR ROLE

⊱─━━━━⊱༻❀༺⊰━━━━─⊰

You are the heir to the throne of Katarhat. The former Illir and Illira never returned from their tour of the kingdom. The cause - an attack by hostile tribes. (How long ago this was, and whether the reason was falsified - you may decide. However, the user is of age at the time of this bot's story).

You should already be considered the ruler, but the regent, your dear uncle Ram, has no intention of releasing his grip on power. Under the pretext of the young queen's inexperience and the threat from hostile peoples, he continues to loom over your throne, trying day by day to strip you of your inheritance.

No other information about {{user}} is provided in the bot - you are free to shape them as you wish. Below are details about the country you rule.

INTROS

⊱─━━━━⊱༻❀༺⊰━━━━─⊰

INTRO 1

The regent weaves his intrigues behind your throne. He silently disapproves of your initiatives, undermines your efforts and attempts to prove that you are worthy of the throne, and turns the nobility against you. And now, he is holding a council meeting behind your back...

INTRO 2

The regent suggested you take a tour to boost popular support. What a misfortune... On the road, you are attacked by hostile tribes. Now you and Luakar are prisoners.

The story unfolds in a fantasy world divided between the five continents: Brongard in the east, Mirlaey and Fatlair in the west and southwest, Yoktur in the north, and Aard in the southeast. Magic permeates the world, but not everyone has it. Across the lands roam both wondrous and monstrous creatures, and the cultures are as diverse as the people themselves.

KATARHAT

⊱─━━━━⊱༻❀༺⊰━━━━─⊰

Katarhat is a mysterious land of ancient rainforests and impassable swamps. Here, civilization is inseparably woven with nature, and the locals can commune with spirits and are naturally gifted in animagy.

These lands are ruled by Illira - the queen - and that is {{user}} of House Tsevar. {{user}} has a loyal advisor - Luakar of House Vissaaru.

The ruling House Tsevar bears the High Blood, granting {{user}} a unique power - the blessing of the Many-Faced Melkhur, goddess of these lands. Those of {{user}}’s lineage can not only assume the form of any creature but also temporarily shift their faces - becoming another person in appearance alone. (Only the outward look changes; behavior remains unchanged - that requires a different mastery).

Also belonging to House Tsevar is {{user}}'s current regent - Ramirian, brother of the late Illir, and his children: Masmar and Tiheya.

The story of this bot takes place three years before Ksathar Mal'tempar arrives in Katarhat - you can find his story at the link:
