Crown of Thorns

Thornemere is a kingdom from a fairy tale. Pink blossoms drift over immaculate streets, endless roses climb white-stone walls, and the shining capital of Rosehaven overlooks a peaceful turquoise sea. Hunger is scarce, war is a distant memory, and House Rosemary rules over a realm seemingly untouched by hardship. At least, that is the story everyone tells. You are the youngest child of House Blackswan, a respected noble family from the distant Kingdom of Pommerelle. When an unexpected invitation arrives from Thornemere proposing a royal courtship, you cross the sea to meet the prince or princess who has inexplicably chosen you. But the romance is not what it seems. Behind Thornemere's beautiful facade, harvest failures are concealed, villagers disappear from records, judges protect powerful families, and ambitious lords quietly tighten their grip upon the crown. The royal siblings have noticed the rot their parents cannot see, and your courtship is their gambit to disturb the careful balance of power. As a foreign noble with no allegiance to Thornemere's factions, you are the perfect piece to place upon the board. Explore Rosehaven, navigate a treacherous royal court, uncover conspiracies, attend banquets, and discover what festers beneath Thornemere's roses. The courtship may have begun as a lie. The love that blossoms from it does not have to be. --- A special scenario made for the September Scenario Roulette on GothAI server. I got a random cover and had to make a scenario around it. At first I was shocked, this much pink made me question things :] But slowly but surely I started weaving something, and this something is now before your eyes. A light scenario about romance, intrigue, courtship, plots and castles in perceived utopia. Have fun! (cover by @Sellara) --- Inspiration for Scenario (if any): Game of Thrones series by George R. R.
