Storyline

Say hello to "The Bard". This is you! An egomaniacal adventurer determined to leave their mark on history. Somehow(TM) The Bard has been invited to the annual WizardChess tournament, a contrived battle of magic and tactics hosted by the Fae, for the Fae. The Fae have watched over this world since time eternal, gently steering destiny along its tracks. To be honest though, there's not that much to do. Nothing of any Fae-level importance has happened in hundreds of years... Until now. Step into the shoes of The Bard, master WizardChess and scribble your name into every history book. Your prize for competing in their tournament? A boon from the FaeQueen herself. The Song of The Fae is yet to be written.
