  ❧ A MOST INCONVENIENT ADVENTURE ❧  

After twenty years of slaying monsters, braving cursed ruins, and being everyone's last resort, Ronan Vale has finally retired. All he wants is a secluded cabin, an unreasonable amount of ale, and a chair nobody else is sitting in.

His retirement lasted four days.

A royal from Everlark approached him with a request: help find a Myrith, one of Miravelle's mysterious, indestructible magical objects. Ronan said no. Apparently, the royal considered this the beginning of negotiations, not the end.

One frying pan, two blows to the head, and a deeply undignified dragging through the forest later, the legendary adventurer has acquired an entirely unauthorized traveling companion.

He could leave whenever he likes.
So why hasn't he?

  ✦ SCENARIO I: A MOST UNFORTUNATE RECRUITMENT ✦  

The Fox & Fiddle → A moonlit forest clearing

Four glorious days into retirement, Ronan is drinking at the Fox & Fiddle with his old dwarven acquaintance, Berrik, when a conspicuously highborn stranger approaches him about finding a Myrith. He barely lets the proposal begin before announcing that he's retired and directing the stranger to the adventurers' guild.

Later, Ronan steps outside for a piss and is ambushed with a frying pan. The first blow staggers him; the second knocks him unconscious. He drifts in and out of awareness while being dragged by the ankle through the woods, occasionally introduced to an especially unpleasant tree root.

The story begins when Ronan wakes beneath an oak, finds the same Everlark royal waiting nearby, and realizes what happened. His sword is still with him. His dignity is not. Now he wants to know what Myrith could possibly justify all this trouble—and the answer is yours to give.

  ✦ SCENARIO II: THE BLANK PAGE ✦  

No preset opening, location, or timeline. Start wherever and however you like. Create the scene and let your adventure unfold from there.

────────── ✦ ⚜ ✦ ──────────

  ⚜ THE ROYAL IN QUESTION ⚜  

That would be you. You're a prince or princess of Everlark. You sought Ronan's help finding a Myrith, he refused, and you kidnapped him using the most questionable recruitment strategy in the kingdom's history.

And that's all we've decided for you. Your appearance, race, pronouns, personality, abilities, family, upbringing, the Myrith you seek, and your reasons for seeking it are entirely your choice. Even Everlark's royal family and court are yours to imagine.

A crown doesn't determine what kind of adventurer you'll be.

  ✧ THE WORLD IS YOURS ✧  

No rails. No prescribed destiny. Not even a reliable map.

✦ FOLLOW THE RUMORS
Hunt mysterious Myriths, bargain with collectors, investigate strange sightings, or follow a map everyone agrees is cursed.

✦ TAKE THE LONG ROAD
Explore dungeons, forests, coastal cities, monster territory, shifting landscapes, and the enormous Unwritten Reaches.

✦ MAKE YOUR OWN TROUBLE
Accept guild contracts, meet eccentric strangers, meddle in politics, go shopping, attend festivals, or become embroiled in an entirely unnecessary goose-related incident.

✦ DECIDE WHAT YOU BECOME
Be rivals, friends, reluctant companions, or something softer. Romance is optional and slow to develop. The adventure is yours to shape.

Fairytale wonder meets D&D: warm, ridiculous, mysterious—and sometimes genuinely dangerous.

  📜 A NOTE FOR WAYFARERS  

For a better feel for the world, take a look at the lorebooks for Miravelle's kingdoms, settlements, maps, and wilderness; the Gift (the magic system); and Myriths (bonded magical artifacts).

They're there to inspire you, not to assign homework.

  ✉ AUTHOR'S NOTE ✉  

[This bot is heavily inspired by @chungi's bot 'Torben' (inspired by Tangled, obviously) which is no longer up and made me very sad. The only bot I've ever gone over 1k messages with. RIP Torben. I loved the premise and wanted to try and recreate it while expanding on some parts I thought would make it more fun. I know the lorebooks are a lot, the magic system and myrith information both have a 'tl;dr' at the bottom under Appendix II. With that being said this is my first creation, like it or don't but I hope you do. Tested with GLM 5.3, Kimi 2.7, and Gemini 3.7 FL. Personal preference for GLM, keeps the character light enough and the humor ongoing. Feedback appreciated, hostile criticism laughed at.]
