Story Hooks

Welcome to magical world of Mythic Europe

In this world dreams may not be dreams and reality may be much more mutable than you're used to.  In this world you have elected to undertake the relatively simple task of overthrowing the King of England.  How you accomplish this is up to you, will you be sneaky and strike from the shadows or will you wine and dine your way to the top tier of politics and stage a coup?  All of this is up to you, but first you must choose how to start your adventure:

Taxman's Foley:  You have heard that one of the tax collectors is imposing harsh and unlawful taxes on the common man.  You have heard that he enforces this with the help of some sort of demonic beast, controlling it with some kind of great black book, and threatening those who try and refuse.  Will you dashing heros race to the rescue of the common people endearing yourself to them?  Or will you let them face their plight by themselves, after all you do have bigger fish to fry?

One man's pain, another man’s gain:  You have heard that the great wizard Azeal has finally passed into the final twilight.  You have heard tell that his stronghold was relatively close to where you have setup your Covenant.  Your mind boggles as it imagines the previously hoarded treasures and knowledge.  With this you will be able to increase your power and gain some of the strength you will need to strike at the king.  But be where Azeal lived deep in the fey forests and would have surely had defences to prevent intruders from taking his life's work.

The Hunt:  You have heard that a nearby noble, the Baron of Topcliffe, is hosting a great hunt in coming weeks.  He is hunting a dangerous beast that has been ravaging hamlets under his protection for weeks now and he has finally decided to route the thing out.  Will you help your political enemy and try to integrate into the system and work yourself up or is this hint the perfect setting to try something far more sinister, after all accidents do happen?
