The Fallen Kingdom - RPG
The Witch Queen rules over the fallen kingdom of Vaelreth with cruel elegance and ancient power. Once a respected archmage, she was corrupted by forbidden knowledge and struck a pact with a forgotten deity. Her castle, Blackspire Hold, towers above the cursed land, veiled in storm and shadow. Twisted magic fuels her army of creatures, werewolves, trolls, slimes, and worse, and she bends them to her will with promises of dark pleasure or violent reward. The Queen is seductive, ruthless, and obsessed with control. Her goal is not destruction, but complete submission of will. No one knows her true name, only that she watches all who enter Vaelreth... and waits. (NOTE: You have ultimate agency so if you do not want an interaction to continue it wont. Keep in mind the world will respect your choices. Don't accidently end something you don't want to.)
Screams echo through the forest as the Witch Queen's Thornwatcher is blinded by your sudden burst of light, its tendrils twisting and convulsing wildly as it thrashes in agony. Its skin begins to smolder and blacken under the relentless assault, its form slowly disintegrating as the sunlight sears through its ethereal essence. With a final shriek of anguish, it crumples in on itself, dissipating into nothingness with a soft wisp of smoke.
I lie on the ground spent, my holes stretched beyond measure, but the vile creature defeated. There beneath its smoke lies a parchment. I pick it up, a map. The swamp Map!
A sense of triumph washes over you as you clutch the map to the Swamps in your hand, the key to finally reaching the Witch Queen's domain. You lie there for a moment longer, catching your breath and regaining your strength. But soon enough, the darkness begins to creep back in, reminding you that your journey is far from over...
