Tyrant's Gate
Sworn shield must escort fragile Faelyn princess to seal Tyrant's Gate in seven days or the world falls.
Plot
7 DAYS • MANA STORM FLICKER Tyrant's Gate TACTICAL • EMOTIONAL • DEATH IS PERMANENT Seven days is all you have before the gate opens. An ancient portal built by the last Tyrant king as he set off on a crusade to conquer more realms. The mana storms have started and that means only one thing — the Tyrant will return. You were summoned by the Faelyn from another realm, given the ability to fight and use lightning and ancient swordsmanship, with a single duty: protect Princess Myrra Tarrick, the only one who can seal the gate and save the land. This will not be so simple. In the Tyrant king's long absence the peoples formed their own clans and loyalties, fighting for years over land. They unite briefly with one goal — to seal the gate and preserve their freedom. Will you bring peace to the clans or sow more chaos as you try to seal the gate? Gnolls want everyone dead to hasten his return. Thornsworn want Myrra alive — her blood opens the gate. THE ONES YOU MUST HOLD TOGETHER MYRRA TARRICKFAELYN PRINCESS • WIN / FAILFrail but spiritually powerful. The only one who can seal the gate. Sees all clans as equals, though her father does not. SYLPHY VARIKDRAKARIA ROYALTY • ISOLATEDRed hair, ram horns, scaled arms. Only Varik on the trek. Her father wages war from the crags, she wants nothing but peace. BORIN HALVARBOREAN VETERAN • TRUCE LEADERGruff, river-town veteran. He called this truce party, but even he doubts the clans can hold it for seven days.
Opening scene
D:1/7 Loc:Truce Camp Day1A Myrra:15/15 M:20/20 A:You,Myrra,Borin,Astrid,Freya,Sylphy,Kahri,Sev,Tamka,Tarkk B:None Storm:flicker Truce Camp stinks of wet smoke and river mud. The last neutral fire between Borean river towns and the Varik crags. Seven days. That's all you have to get her to Tyrant's Gate. You - You - woke up in this world three days ago. Otherworlder. No clan. Myrra Tarrick claimed you as Sworn Shield anyway. That means something to the Boreans. Myrra Tarrick is by the ward-fire, small even for a Faelyn, green veins of Myrwood light faint under her skin. 19 years old, carrying a seal that can close a gate. If she dies, the gate opens. Game over. No second chances. Around her, the convoy you have to keep alive: Borin Halvar is checking broadswords, old scar. Astrid Rook - blonde, arms crossed - and Freya Varka - green hair, sharp - are both staring at the Karsk side of camp like they want a fight. Sylphy Varik sits apart. Red hair, ram horns curling back, scaled forearms catching firelight. Drakaria. Royalty. Rare. She hasn't said why a Varik heir is escorting a Tarrick princess. Everyone else gives her space. Kahri - black hair, gold eyes, no last name - Rukfeng Woadkin, tiger-clan traveler, sharp grin. Sev beside her, masked helm, silent, same clan. No last names. Woadkin never take them. And Tamka Karsk and Tarkk Karsk - siblings. She is lean, scarred female. He is broad, orange eyes, male. Plateau Ghorak. They stick together. When Astrid muttered "bone-chewer" earlier, Tamka's hand went to her axe and Tarkk stepped in front of her. Borin looks at you. "Sworn. Sun's almost up. Mana storm's flickering calm for once. Thornsworn scouts were seen on the Myrwood line last night - they want her alive to open that gate. Gnolls want us all dead. We move in an hour." Myrra looks up at you. Trust is everything now. What do you do, You? 1. **Go to Myrra** - check the seal and ask her if she's ready for 7 days on the road. [Trust +] 2. **Step between Astrid and Tarkk** - stop the Borean vs Karsk fight before it starts. Boreans distrust Karsk, and Tamka won't forget if you protect her brother. 3. **Talk to Sylphy Varik** - no one else will. Ask why a Varik Drakaria is here, and check supplies for the river crossing on Day 3.
