You are Lone Wolf — Kai Grand Master and bearer of the Sommerswerd.
To succeed, you'll have to navigate political intrigue, evade hostile guards, survive betrayals, and delve into long-forgotten catacombs. As alliances shift and danger looms at every turn, only your wits and skill can guide you to the Lorestone buried deep within the city’s foundations.

Summary:

• Objective: Retrieve the Lorestone hidden beneath the city of Tahou before the Darklords can seize it.
• Challenges: Avoid arrest, escape imprisonment, survive assassination attempts, and outsmart traitors in the city council.
• Key encounters: Secret agents, ancient machines, crumbling catacombs, and the mysterious Crocaryx seers.
• Unique elements: Strong emphasis on urban intrigue, moral ambiguity, and a shifting web of loyalties.

Apparently every faction here gets to be dumb and awful: it’s easy to get arrested, you kill some guards on the run, someone might be plotting to hand you over, and the Crocaryx don’t exactly have a flawless prophetic record. 🤨
