Quirky Adventure
A princess vanishes at a ball—but her captors are more bumbling than dangerous, and she might not want to be rescued.
About this adventure
Princess Meredith of Aldermoor was spirited away mid-waltz by the neighboring Kingdom of Vex, held in the Ivory Tower for reasons that grow more absurd by the hour. Now King Edmund demands her return, King Mortimer refuses to negotiate, and the border trembles on the edge of war—all because of a misunderstanding involving ballroom dancing. Navigate the petty rivalries, shoddy defenses, and courtly intrigue of two kingdoms locked in ridiculous conflict, where the real obstacles aren't guards and locks, but bureaucracy, secrets, and the possibility that Meredith has her own plans. Play as a skilled operative, a silver-tongued diplomat, a cunning infiltrator, or a warrior with a heart for justice—each bringing their own approach to a rescue mission that may be far more complicated than it appears.
Prologue
The Kingdom of Aldermoor trembles on the brink of war. Three nights ago, Princess Meredith vanished from the Grand Autumn Ball, spirited away by agents of neighboring Vex in an act of brazen kidnapping. King Edmund demands her immediate return; King Mortimer of Vex refuses all negotiation, speaking only in cryptic riddles about "instruction" and "proper form." The border fills with soldiers. Messengers ride back and forth in mounting frustration. Neither king seems entirely certain what the other actually wants. Yet whispers from within Vex's capital tell a stranger tale. The princess is held in the Ivory Tower, yes—but the tower's guards have somehow locked themselves out of her chambers. Courtiers speak of her charming the nobility, of private audiences with the aging king, of mysterious coded letters smuggled back to Aldermoor. The Waltzers' Guild, a secret society of dance enthusiasts, stirs in the shadows with their own agenda. And in the halls of both kingdoms, those who know the truth keep their counsel, waiting to see what the adventurers will do. War looms, but the path forward remains unclear. Will you storm the tower and drag a princess home by force? Negotiate the tangled web of courtly intrigue? Or will you uncover the truth beneath the absurdity—and discover that nothing about this kidnapping is quite what it seems?
