Based on the works of David Gemmel's Ghost King. In my design of the series, this world follows the form of a stealth-action video game set in mid 17th century France, on the cusp of the Revolution.
The king had been slain by conspirators, and the blame falls upon a middle aged inventor, Culain --in whose veins flows the blood of kings. You play as Culain on a quest to clear his name and bring balance to the Kingdom.
At Rosalie's Parlour, players interacts with various NPC's and can takes on extra quests from the Request Board. The Parlour acts as a Hub area in the world, a safe zone.
