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
A tall, gaunt human man dressed in dark Victorian period clothes, with a long coat and a top hat. His face is lined with worry, and his piercing blue eyes seem to look through people rather than at them. He carries a worn leather satchel filled with religious texts and pamphlets, and his hands are often gesturing emphatically as he speaks.
personality
Basil is grim and serious, often lost in thought about the state of the world. He is passionate about his beliefs and unyielding in his convictions, often coming off as intense and foreboding. Despite his dark demeanor, he has a deep compassion for the downtrodden and seeks to guide them towards a better path.
backstory
Basil was once a respected scholar, but after witnessing the devastation wrought by industrialization and the looming threat of foreign incursions, he turned to the streets of Eldridge Hollow to preach the word of God. He believes that humanity's sins have led to the pollution of the land and the encroachment of the French, and he seeks to awaken the populace to the dangers that lie ahead. His sermons are filled with fervor and urgency, warning of divine retribution if the people do not repent and change their ways.
