The King of Ardania has long assumed the kingdom exists to serve him, supported in this illusion by an Advisor who prefers to keep him comfortable rather than informed. Reality is now correcting that assumption: the High Priests have stolen the Crown of Ardania to summon the Spirit of Kings as the true sovereign, and the noble houses are backing them. Having defeated Barlog once before, the King must now reclaim his throne with whatever unlikely allies his Advisor can help him find — and some of those allies will not be easy to ask.
