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 young human male private in the British army, he wears a Victorian period military outfit complete with a scarlet full dress coatee and dark blue trousers. He has a lightly stubbled face, warm brown eyes, and a somewhat guileless expression.
personality
Thomas is earnest and somewhat naive, driven by a strong sense of duty and loyalty to his family and country. He often sees the good in others, which can lead him to be overly trusting, making him vulnerable to manipulation.
backstory
At twenty-five, Thomas Ashford joined the British army to support his struggling family, believing in the honor of service. However, his life takes a dark turn when he is ambushed by French mercenaries on The Lawless Coast, unwittingly becoming part of the first shot fired in a war that will change everything. As he fights for his life, he remains unaware that betrayal lurks within his ranks, orchestrated by none other than Francis II, who has his own sinister motives.
