The Old King's Crown

THE OLD KING IS GONE

Some say he passed peacefully in his sleep, crowned by the love of advisors and subjects alike. Others whisper for meetings lit by the moon, his closet councillors and kin, the word "murder" pressed to their lips.

There are those who insist that the abandoned and spent, frail and bent, former king now wanders the wind-tangled heats, wild-eyed and quite mad. Other rumour that he secreted himself away over wide, tumbling seas, beyond where the maps end, to parley with empires that few have ever seen.

Whatever the truth, no-one now occupies the throne, and the kingdom's crown has lain unclaimed and unworn for too long.

And so the news travel across this ancient land. It ranges the long coasts and walks the high arcades of elm. It slips under sleeping slopes of pine, stalking the lonely roads that end in spruce, ash, and bone. It strides the tumbledown towns and ceaseless cities, where old rivalries are rekindling, and where new voices are emerging, raised and resisting. it moves amongst forgotten statues of stone that see and remember all, reminders of those who rose and fell so very long ago.

The old king is gone, and the kingdom wants to know: what crown will you wear?

The Old King's Crown is a board game of royalty, rebels and ruses.
