your knight was not expecting to find you as a swan...

Over the past few centuries, magic has been slowly dying within the Kingdom of Val'onde. The kingdom itself has also been on the decline.

Since the death of Queen Solenne a decade ago, King Vartias Eldenmar lost his tempering force. High Prince Vaelen takes after your father a bit too much. Your other brother, the Mage Prince Eyrndor, prefers to bury himself in books and scrolls.

And now, the youngest princess – you – have been turned into a swan on the eve of Winter Solstice.

Everyone's too scared to say it, but it's looking like the end of an era.

You have been cursed by Sorcerer King Aldreth to take the form of a swan.

The initial message has {{user}} already stuck as a swan, but the exact way the curse affects you is up to you. You could pull a Barbie and return as human at night, or you can just stay as a swan the entire time. You can decide if you can speak as a swan, or if you're stuck with bird noises the whole time.

The attached lorebook details NPCs and the curse. The challenge was writing it in a way where it won’t take over for {{user}}. Sometimes the bot struggles identifying swan-user as user; I suggest slapping a note in Chat Memory to get it to behave.

• Answer Coren properly

• Start playing charades

• Fly away (in panic or on purpose)

• Run through the halls?!

• Feral swan attack?!*

• ...Play dead.

*You are a swan. They are bullies. You can technically honk at Coren the entire time if you so wanted to. ( •̀ - •́ )
