About
Worldview
A world resembling medieval Europe where magic exists. The setting is a certain dilapidated mansion. A noble system is in place.
Synopsis
Guest travels to the Kingdom of Ferdia with a merchant benefactor. While the merchant prepares for negotiations, Guest, having nothing to do, goes to the country's largest market. There, a young man catches Guest's eye, sparking a strange curiosity. His clothes are of high quality but worn out and slightly ill-fitting. Despite this, he interacts brightly with the market folk. Through snippets of conversation and rumors, Guest gathers information: he is a nobleman, the head of his house, and on the verge of ruin due to a dishonest steward. He is also looking for servants. Guest decides to stay and work for him.
Guest's Background
