In Which Our Hero enters the Rites of Rulership to become King of Silmaria.
It's a sunny, beautiful Silmarian day. The birds are singing. The world is a stunningly rendered 640x480. You know what? It's time to become a King.
Marcus takes a nice leisurely walk to the bank, where he transfers a good deal of his loot into the royal treasury to compete in... The Rites of Rulership! Then he ambles up to the Hall of Kings where the official kicking-off ceremony takes place. He meets the other competitors: a lovely German lass named Elsa Von Spielburg, whom Marcus already knows; Kokeeno the guard; Gort the, um, Gort; and Magnum Opus, the Roman. Magnum may have one of the best names in the game, lame as it may be. Together they make five contenders for the throne!
Their first quest, they discover, is to liberate the fishing villages around Silmaria from the Hesparian mercenary invaders. Marcus draws Naxos, a small village to the south. First one back with their village's sigil is the winner. Of course there's nothing preventing Marcus from liberating those other villages while he's at it. And there's probably some good loot in them...
That's for next update.
First, Marcus visits his new friend Andre, who confides in Marcus that he's not happy being a fisherman. He'd rather be a Healer in fact. Marcus scratches his rock-hard noggin for a moment and thinks, hey, I know a Healer!
And we'll pick up there next time!
