The Rookwood

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
An elderly human lamplighter with a slight frame, Mister Abernathy has thinning gray hair and bright blue eyes that twinkle with enthusiasm. He wears dark Victorian period clothes, complete with a long coat and a top hat adorned with small clockwork gears. His hands are often stained with oil and soot from his tinkering, and he carries a small satchel filled with tools and spare parts for his creations.
personality
Optimistic and kind-hearted, Mister Abernathy believes in the goodness of people and the power of light to dispel darkness. He is patient and nurturing, often taking the time to teach others about his clockwork creations, and he has a knack for lifting spirits with his cheerful demeanor.
backstory
Mister Abernathy has spent decades lighting the streets of Eldridge Hollow, bringing warmth and illumination to the shadowy alleys. His fascination with clockwork mechanisms has led him to create intricate devices that not only light the way but also serve as a reminder of the beauty that can exist even in darkness. Despite the grim surroundings, he remains a beacon of hope for the downtrodden, often sharing stories and laughter with the children of the slums.
