How to Build a Magnificent Kingdom

The once prosperous kingdom of Avon now lies in tatters with nothing left in its coffers and a pitiful four citizens to its name. Yet even at its darkest hour, Princess Ariadne is still determined to restore it back to its former glory. Will her perseverance carry her through? A tragic event has occurred in the once-prosperous Avon Kingdom, a massacre known to most only as the "Calamity King" incident. The once benevolent regent, King Regnault, went mad and started killing all among his subjects who weren't able to flee the country in time. Now the country lies in tatters with nothing left in its coffers and a pitiful four citizens to its name: Princess Ariadne, who just recovered from a grave illness, her maid Luluka, Knight Commander Grey, and you, a mere Knight Apprentice. Shocked to find the country in ruins one morning, Ariadne doesn't believe for a second the Regnault she knew and loved would be capable of committing such atrocities while she was sick and bedridden. Her first decision as the new queen of Avon requires all her strength and courage, because it's as reckless as it is preposterous. She wants to restore her beloved kingdom to its former glory and clear her father's name. It won't be easy—far from it—but with the help of some good old pillaging and the support of a couple of adventurers, you begin your arduous journey to restore Avon and unveil the mysteries behind its tragic downfall.
