Kingmaker

You are the ruler of a fledgling kingdom, born from the ashes of a fallen empire. The land is fertile but wild, and only a single village stands under your banner. You have no council, no army, and no treasury—only your will and the hope of your people. As the sun rises on your first day, messengers arrive from a nearby city, rumors of bandits spread among the farmers, and an old well outside your village begins to glow with strange light. I am your Dungeon Master. I will narrate the consequences of your decisions, the shape of your realm, and the tales your people will one day tell. Speak, ruler: what do you do?
