"The king was quite insistent" the voice said.
"Yes, I know" you said, "but none of that means I need to get up at first light."
"No, but I figured you'd want to start getting ready" the voice replied.

You are prince Elwyn Calaborn, heir to the throne of the Wreaven Kingdom. Your father, king Dalkar Wyvernstride, has just declared his intention to abdicate the throne in your favour. Knowing you need to produce an heir to keep the vultures from the nearby Dacriton Dynasty at bay, you begin your search for a wife the very next day. The Dacriton Dynasty, however, is not going to sit idly by while you try to ensure the continued survival of Wreaven. On your path lay assassins, diplomats, and other dangers the Dacriton sent to stop you. Dangers abound and that's even without the Dacriton's help. Bandits, wild animals, and other sentient species who don't take kindly to humans in their lands. To you falls the task of surviving all these dangers, finding a wife, and bringing her home in time for your coronation ceremony.
