Dungeon Meeting

It is no secret that the Kingdom of Corrington has had difficulty finding its footing following the loss of the Great War. Fear and doubt has gripped the minds of peasant and noble alike. Whispers of rebellion and unrest spread throughout the land as each different faction believes that they could have defeated Oleon and her allies if only they were in command. The Northern reaches of the kingdom are proud and the border lands are still picking up the pieces of a war torn countryside. 

 

When Philip Brickford returned from the Great War to Brickford manor, although the welcome was warm it was short lived. With his father gone and him now the sole heir of the Brickford Clan, he now was responsible for his small fiefdom. With his alligence still firmly intact with the Crown, and as a minor noble, it was crucial that he keep his sphere of influence under control. 

 

During his absence, several clans of the Northern Marches on the direct border with Oleon began switching their alliance to the Oleonese Crown in hopes of a more favorable outcome then with a Kingdom reeling from defeat. Across the border in Oleon and with Oleon's help, several clans have built up fortifications and Philip has heard rumors of revolts. Once one of the Corrish king's most trusted nobles, one of the Houses of the Lion Knights Clan has established fortified positions across the border in Oleon and is seemingly preparing to carve out a section of Corrington for himself.

Philip's cousin used to live in the area, however Philip learned that he was imprisoned on his return from the Great War for refusing to swear allegiance to anyone but the Crown of Corrington. In order to learn just how serious the situation is, Philip was left with no option but to sneak into the Oleonese Castle dungeon and meet with his cousin. 

 

Under the watchful eye of the guard, Philip had a brief but enlighting conversation. The situation was bad, and if they knew he was in the castle, they would surely throw him in the cell as well. Philip would need to hastily return to the Manor and figure out the best course of action to squash any revolt from from traitorous and disgruntled nobles before it gained a footing.

The cramped nature of the build really sells that dungeon feeling. I especially like the natural light creeping in via the hole in the roof. Cool surcoat for your character as well.

I love that little build! The lighting makes for an atmospheric scene! The costum surcoat looks great.

The whole scene reminds me of the old point and click adventures *use bone from skeleton to attract key-holding guard dog
