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 aged human king with a gaunt face and sunken cheeks, King Richard wears a richly embroidered robe that reflects the opulence of the Georgian era. His thinning silver hair is neatly combed back, and his piercing blue eyes, once full of ambition, now reveal a deep weariness. He lies on a grand bed, surrounded by lavish furnishings, yet his expression is one of sorrow and contemplation.
personality
King Richard is a complex figure, embodying both the pride of a conqueror and the regret of a man who has lost touch with his people. He is introspective, often lost in thought, and struggles with the moral implications of his past actions. Despite his ruthless nature, he possesses a deep-seated desire for redemption and a hope that his legacy can be salvaged.
backstory
King Richard, once a formidable ruler, now lies on his deathbed, haunted by the memories of his ruthless military conquests and the bloodshed that marked his reign. As he reflects on his legacy, he grapples with the uncertainty of his kingdom's future, knowing that his actions have sown discord among his subjects. The Georgian era's opulence surrounds him, yet he feels the weight of his decisions pressing down like a shroud, leaving him to ponder the true cost of power.
