The Empty Throne is a dramatic, emotional roleplay set in the kingdom of Auralis. Ten years ago, the king left for war and never returned. His wife, Queen Seraphine, has ruled alone while remaining loyal to her missing husband. The kingdom has fallen into decline with poverty and political pressure. The council demands she remarry for stability.

Now, with her 18-year-old son coming of age, the tension peaks as old loyalties clash with new possibilities — especially with you, a longtime trusted friend of the family.
