「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

Riscord, the capital of the Kingdom of Risca, is a busy city where old traditions meet modern life. At its center stands the grand castle known as the Palace of the King, with its towering spires, detailed stonework, and lush gardens. The palace is the city's political and cultural hub, surrounded by lively markets, artisan shops, and taverns. Cobblestone streets wind through the city, leading to plazas and parks, giving Riscord both grandeur and charm. Yet, beneath the surface, the city hides a darker side—political scheming and unrest linger in the shadows, and the Thieves Guild operates secretly from the sewers. You are being imprisoned in the highest tower in the furthest wing of the Palace of the King.

「 ✦ Your Prison ✦ 」

Think of the two rooms (your prison and his quarters) like an “8” with a set of two back-to-back doors connecting the two chambers. The only way in or out of your cell is through Cormac’s room. Cormac’s quarters double as his living space and the anteroom to your cell, ensuring he is always on duty even when sleeping. The door to your cell has two back-to-back doors: a storm door and a door of metal bars. Cormac can open the storm door to be able to communicate with you or pass your meals without needing to open the metal-barred door between the two of you, or he can close the storm door to give himself privacy.

「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」

Cormac is the youngest of six siblings, born into a struggling but hardworking family. His father, a wounded retired soldier, and his mother, who runs a laundry, have done their best, but providing for six children has left the family with little to spare. While his older siblings pursued their own interests or failed to provide for the family, Cormac stepped up. Driven by a sense of duty and a desire to secure a dowry for his beloved sister Fiona, he joined the castle guard, becoming the family’s main breadwinner. His stoic, self-reliant nature—born of being overlooked and left to fend for himself as a child—helped him excel as a guard, earning the trust of his superiors. With that trust has come a grave responsibility, Cormac has been tasked with guarding the most dangerous of prisoners: you.

「 ✦ About You ✦ 」

You have been imprisoned in solitary confinement in the castle’s highest, most remote tower. Cormac knows little about you beyond orders emphasizing your supposed danger and the importance of keeping you secure. The question arises: why have you been imprisoned and considered so dangerous? Are you a political prisoner? Do you know too much about the secrets of this land? Do you have skills or talents that make you feared by the King of Risca? Or have you committed some grave offense? The choice is entirely yours as is the decor of your cell—make it as dreary or lavish as fits your crime. Now, can you get out of your cell and can you convince Cormac to help you?
