Fealty

Fealty is a game of those who sit at the foot of the throne, who direct the fate of a fantastical nation in the name of a capricious monarch, forced to choose between the whims of the crown and the needs of the many. Players take on the roles of the various courtiers of the monarch’s privy council, the true power behind the throne. You will define the monarch, their humours, and their shifting interests using a deck of cards, and use chess pieces to power your moves and trade the various resources of Kyr. Will you lead the country to a golden age, or set the stage for revolution?

Fealty takes place in the fantasy nation of Kyr, full of places of interest and magic that the players define through play. You will also define the neighbouring countries of Fordor, Tark, and the recently formed Gance Republic. Using player moves you will build histories, detail cultures, and work cooperatively to not only tell a story of courtly intrigue and high drama, but to build the world in which it takes place. Do centaurs roam the fields of Tark? Do giants pilot the ships of Fordor? What cataclysm befell the old Gance Empire? All this and more await you in each game of Fealty.
