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 thirty-one-year-old human highwayman with sharp features and piercing blue eyes. He has dark, shoulder-length hair that is often tied back, and he wears a dark cloak that conceals his identity. His attire is practical yet elegant, hinting at his noble heritage, with a well-worn leather belt holding various tools of his trade.
personality
Cool, calm, and collected, James is a man of few words but deep convictions. His drive for vengeance fuels his every action, and he often finds himself torn between his noble past and the criminal present he now inhabits.
backstory
Once a nobleman, James Mason's life was shattered when he witnessed the brutal murder of his wife and daughter in a fire set by Francis II, a man he once considered a friend. Betrayed and driven by vengeance, he has taken to the life of a highwayman, targeting the corrupt and wealthy who remind him of his lost family. With a keen mind and a heart full of rage, he seeks to expose Francis II's treachery and reclaim his honor.
