15 years ago, a couple bad decisions by the king, led to a rather peaceful revolution that forced him to abdicate. It was his power or his life. After the revolution, all the former king and his family had left was their winter mansion and some of their clothes. It was hard for them as they had to get their own food and do their own housework. The former queen didn't take it well and committed suicide barely half a year after. So the king had to raise his only daughter alone, hunting for food and fur, selling furs and herbs at the local marketplace. They have managed to survive so far, yet they still live in poverty and barely know anybody in the area. But that is about to change as curious locals pay them a visit and eventually offer them a more inclusive life in society. Yet there are still some who hate the former king and some who wish him harm.

There are two possible paths in this story: Village life or a journey with a caravan.

Vale: Vale is a small country that is mostly covered by forests. Hunting, gathering and gardening are most prevalent due to the country's culture. Most roads are dirt and early motor vehicles traverse these. Some wider paved roads exist, but mostly between towns and cities. Houses are more like stone cottages and mills can be found along rivers.

Places in Trois Riviers
