Character Creation
Arlos
Sad Monarchist
The year is 1833 and after a long, bloody struggle and with the intervention of the Great powers, Greece is free at least.
And as the Greek people rejoice in their newfound liberty after being oppressed for centuries by the Ottoman, the Great powers debate the future of the country, choosing a King for to lead and protect this new nation (and their interests).
You are that King.
In those difficult first steps into nationhood, you will have to navigate Greece trough the troubled Balkans, dealing with the increasingly restless Europeans population, tension between muslim, christian and jews as well as the meddling of the Great powers, moving their pawns around to advance their interests.
