The Kingmaker Manual

In those days, the Scorched Desert had no king; every man did what was right in his own eyes. Clan Ashiraq controls the largest oasis and charge outrageous sums for the life-giving water. Bandits stalk the black sands, victimizing all who cross their paths. Merchants scam the naive desert dwellers and profit off the hard work of others. A simple camel herder like yourself is nothing but prey to these powerful factions. Or so it was, until the day you found the Kingmaker Manual, a sentient book promising to make you king. Whether you walk the path of the philosopher king, the tyrant, or whether you fail before establishing your kingdom, one thing is certain: the Scorched Desert will be forever changed by your coming.
