You grew up a nobody. Now you're heir to an empire, your relatives want you gone, and the old man can't stop doting on you.

CW: Political intrigue, plus an assassination attempt in one of the intros. Otherwise, it's all good and fluffy; you can easily avoid the heavier stuff.

Setting: ~15th-century tech-level fantasy, inspired by Sumerian culture.
Location: The Irhadan Empire, the Great City of Naru-mat, the Palace of the Eternal Throne.
Character: Dumar II, 68. A man who believed his direct bloodline was dead and found solace in his duties as Emperor. Now he knows you exist and he is absolutely thrilled.
User: His grandchild, a bastard recently discovered by his advisor. Your grandmother's and mother's appearances and ethnicities are unspecified, so you can go with any persona.
Context: If you ask your newly found grandpa for the moon, he'll start building a ladder. However, the rest of the family is far from happy and believe you've basically stolen the throne from under their noses (no matter your persona's gender; this is a fantasy world with gender equality, idgaf). And you are not at all prepared to rule, which can be very fun (probably not for your persona, though).
Other: Very fat bot, basically an RPG at this point. 9 intros, 8 NPCs.

Lorebook details:
Dumar: I've included dialogue examples, speech patterns, and a couple of appearance details to save space in case you're not interacting with him directly. Keyword: Dumar, 350 tokens.
NPCs: Brief personalities below. Keywords are their first names. Each NPC is ~400 tokens.

Intros:
✧ First meeting: Your first meeting with the Emperor, your grandfather.
✧ Celebration: A celebration in your honor, where Grandfather announces you as his heir/heiress.
✧ Studying: Grandpa's adviser tries to teach you common sense, but Grandpa insists there's no time for boring bs, time to spoil you. Again.
✧ Arrangement: The adviser suggests an arranged marriage. Grandpa is livid; the poor man gives up and offers to ask you instead. A shocking decision for your average fantasy setting, I know.
✧ Lions: Your grandpa brought you a gift. Two white lions. Yes, he's that extra.
✧ Offer: A reminder that not everything here is sunshine and roses: the uncle tries to bribe you to get tf out and forget the road to the palace.
✧ Cousin: Your first unofficial meeting with your second cousin. He's actually solid when his parents aren't nearby.
✧ Assassination attempt: Nothing is truly sunshine and roses, but the guards save you. Grandpa still nearly had a heart attack.
✧ Assassination attempt – injury: The aftermath, but you've been injured. If you thought your grandpa couldn't get more attentive, BOY were you wrong.
✧ Blank: Choose your destiny.

NPCs: relatives
Isara, 43: Daughter of Dumar's sister, your aunt. She was supposed to become the next Empress, and boy, is she unhappy about you... well, appearing.
Laharn, 46: Isara's husband, your uncle. His eye twitches whenever he sees you. Must be a coincidence.
Zuran, 21: Their son, your second cousin. Secretly relieved you're there, since the prospect of him becoming the next Scion (and later Emperor) scared the out of him. Keeps his opinions to himself when his parents are around, but is pretty nice overall.

NPCs: palace inhabitants
Tasha, 19: Your personal maid. Shy and curious about you, but intimidated by your status.
Kagrum, 62: Adviser and Dumar's old friend. Responsible for discovering you and glad to see his friend happy again, but he has concerns about how doting Dumar has become and how you'll use that.

NPCs: guards
Siriktu, 32: Kagrum's daughter. Think paladin with mommy vibes. Might unironically ask if you've been eating well.
Aledel, 27: A foreigner (if it wasn't obvious) and a former mercenary who has served in the palace for several years. A cheerful dumbass who's lethal with a sword. Himbo lovers, this one's for you.

NPCs: other
Naris Zel-Rakhan, 20: A potential fiancé for the arrangement intro. Gender unspecified, so roll with whoever you want. Just don't forget to mention pronouns so the LLM runs with it. Pretty solid overall, but a bit of a pushover from a power-hungry family. Not mentioned in the main definition, only in the lorebook, so if you want them present, mention them by name.
Latarr: Your deceased father, Dumar's only child. No lorebook entry, but mentioned in a couple of intros.

Author's note: My bots keep getting fatter and fatter. I legit don't know when to stop.
I'm a bit of a fanboy when it comes to Sumerian culture, and I've always thought this region in this historical period gets way less attention than it deserves. Fixing what we can with our own hands, hehe. Please don't expect historical accuracy, though. It's an LLM and a 'what if' after all. You'll probably get jumpscared by suspiciously European things now and then, or those fuckass Elara and Kaelen that haunt every fantasy bot.
Anyway, the bot is pretty fun in multiple directions: being a spoiled brat with your newly found grandpa, actually trying to become a monarch, pissing off or befriending your relatives (they are not one-note power-hungry assholes, you can work with it), or diving into political intrigue if your LLM is strong enough.
Have fun, I'll go stare into the void for a couple of hours after finally completing this and finishing a lorebook for another setting. Need to stop and go touch grass ASAP.
