Here are a few more bits of information for the GM in case anyone would like to print out this thread as an adventure.

Intro E-mail to Players:
The King in Gray: An Adventure in the Elven Court's Wyvern Citadel

I have left my kingdom tonight for the western havens, crown and wedding ring cleaved, wyvern steed let free, royal raiment lit on fire, no heir announced.

I am the thirty-third Etharch of the Southern Citadel, Lord on the Winged Throne, the Wyvern King. The Southern Citadel is a wonder, not built but grown atop a tree that has no peer nor equal. My honor guard ride wyvern as tame as their dragon's blood allows, they fly among the high branches of my kingdom. The children here play amidst leaves the color of sunlight and drink dew that tastes like magic and mystery.

My wife is a tender genius but her womb has given my no heir.

My Lord Protector is a battle-hardened sword singer but his duty gives me no solace.

My Squire is an honorable lad with no evil in his heart but his innocence gives me no joy.

My mother is a beautiful crone, older than some hills, but her counsel gives me no wisdom.

My bastard brother is a driven hero but his ranging gives me no clues concerning my kingdom's woe.

My sister is a famous sea captain but her exploration gives me no knowledge about the bright seas.

May they each live the immortal lives they have earned.

May the stars damn them all to hell.


Throne Info for Each Player:
The Queen

Claim to the Throne: You are a wise and just queen who would be a fantastic ruler, with or without your husband.

Problems: Legally, you were more of a consort. The local elves see you as a foreigner where the throne is concerned, as you are from the Eastern Citadel, cousin of the Griffon Queen.


The King’s Champion

Claim to the Throne: You were like a brother to the king and you control the wyvern cavalry. History has had Lord Protectors take the throne when no heir was declared but it was always under odd and momentous circumstances.

Problems: You do not have noble blood, nor do you have any real legal claim to the throne.


The King’s Squire and Herald

Claim to the Throne: The King often spoke of making you his heir and what a fine king you’d make, noble blood and all.

Problems: He never did declare you heir and you aren’t sure he told anyone else.


The King’s Sister

Claim to the Throne: You are the next in line to the throne (not counting the bastard…and who does?) and your skills would make for a fine queen..

Problems: However, the North and South Citadels have always had kings. You are fighting millennia of tradition and you have been gone from this kingdom for almost a century, off sailing the seas. You know nothing of this citadel or its people.


The Bastard

Claim to the Throne: You are your father’s next born son.

Problems: Human blood, bastard born and a lifetime of ranging.


The King’s Mother

Claim to the Throne: None, other than that you’d make a fine, fine queen and you have centuries of experience and possibly the power to take the crown.

Problems: You were born in the Northern Citadel, considered a foreigner in this land when the throne is concerned. The Southern Citadel’s Winged Throne has always been held by a man. You are fighting a rough, uphill battle here.
