Goodkin

You are the new king. You will need to balance your needs with those of the kingdom, your vassals, the people and your family.

Rule a Kingdom
As the leader of your kingdom many people rely on you in various ways. The people will bring daily grievances to you in peasants court, while the wealthy settling their disputes by duel will seek your favour.

Influential religion will reward you for your representation or reprehend you for practising witchcraft and other immoral acts. Likewise, you'll need to maintain favour with neighbouring kingdoms. Your kingdom just survived one war, it doesn't need another.

Your advisor and other council members will handle foreign affairs and other menial tasks. However, you will need to lead them in the right direction.

Be a Husband and a Father
Among the immense responsibilities of a king are those tethered to the family. There is no fury like a queen scorned, and no reward as great as being present as your children grow up.

Explore Your Castle
There is much to discover in your modest castle. Solve puzzles, unravel mysteries, master the hedge maze, bet on horse races and... take a bath.
