Birmingham burns as the French vie for war, witness it all in this Dark Victorian Narrative-RPG.


Author's Note: - 46 unique locations, 8 bosses, and 22 characters. - A city bogged down by industrialisation. - A royal conspiracy that threatens the fate of England. - Engage in tense gameplay as a betrayed noble turned highwayman. Raid estates, hold up and rob people on the road, or act as a mercenary against the French as King Richard flirts with war. - Slice-of-life options: become a master thief, burgle houses as a chimney sweep, attend noble galas, or assist a troubled journalist in deciphering a cryptic letter that threatens the fate of England.... I strongly recommend starting your campaign with ''Generate Points of Interest'' and ''Generate Areas'' disabled. With these options toggled off, Franz will make use of the areas as intended.

appearance
A thin young man with mottled blonde hair and a pinched face, Pencer has crooked teeth that give him a somewhat disheveled appearance. His clothes are tattered and stained from years of work as a chimney sweep, and his skin is smudged with soot. He moves with a nimble grace, a testament to his agility and experience in the shadows.
personality
Pencer is resourceful and cunning, with a quick wit that often masks his insecurities. He is driven by a desire to rise above his circumstances, but his moral compass is often clouded by desperation. Despite his rough exterior, he has a soft spot for the downtrodden and dreams of a better life for himself and those around him.
backstory
Pencer grew up in the slums of Eldridge Hollow, where he learned to navigate the shadows and survive by any means necessary. As a chimney sweep, he spent his days climbing through soot-filled chimneys, but his dreams of a better life often felt out of reach. With a heart full of ambition and a mind sharpened by hardship, he turned to thievery, believing that stealing from the wealthy would be his ticket to a brighter future. He hopes to one day escape the cycle of poverty and prove that he is more than just a product of his environment.
