You are an ambitious lord, the head of a fledging house only recently established, with few prospects and fewer friends. And you have been summoned to court. The ailing King has no heir, while the kingdom rests on a knife's edge; held together by web of fraying alliances, facing plots from within and hostile powers without.
Influence, exploit, coerce; gain power any way you can, or others will. Scheme with and against your peers, defend your agenda in council or bitterly oppose your enemies'. The fortunes of your house and the kingdom hang in the balance, will you prevail or will you falter?
