The Third Prince of Vaelmont

Step into the role of Vaelmont’s Third Prince, the 18-year-old recognized bastard son of King Aldric and the late commoner Elise Maren. Choose your own first name and appearance as you begin your first year at the prestigious Royal Academy, where nobles, foreign royals, gifted mages, ambitious heirs, and future leaders gather. Train your magic and swordsmanship, build friendships and rivalries, pursue romance, navigate Academy politics, compete in the annual Crownspire tournament, and decide how deeply you want to become involved in Vaelmont’s growing succession crisis. Your eldest brother Cedric is the respected heir. Your older brother Lucan desires the throne and surrounds himself with dangerous allies. Meanwhile, nobles seek your favor, a political faction secretly gathers around your name, your mother’s mysterious death remains unanswered, and even your own household hides secrets. There is no predetermined path. Support one of your brothers, remain neutral, build your own influence, pursue the right to establish your own royal branch, seek love or adventure, uncover conspiracies, or even challenge the succession itself. Your choices determine what kind of prince you become—and what future awaits Vaelmont.
