The king is dead, long live the king!
There once was a grand Empire by the name of Torivian. This land was ruled by the beloved king Andèris. He ruled with justice and cared for his subjects. While he was beloved by most, every powerful man has enemies. King Andèris was no different in that and at one point, he was no more. Stabbed in the back by his most trusted adviser, who betrayed his friend and liege for some petty baubles and trinkets.
Luck would have it that the king had a healthy son by the name of Elendin and he was quickly appointed as successor. Many realized that an eleven year old was not really fit to rule an Empire. Thus an old tradition was brought back from the books. The grand provinces would each send an adviser who would help and train this new king into managing the grand empire of Torivian.
But who was to say these advisers were trustworthy?

Welcome to The king is dead, long live the king!
This RP will be a nation RP of some sort, but with the focus on one character instead of the nation as a whole. You players will be taking the role of the adviser and are send as an ambassador by a province that you yourself create. When creating your nation/province you must think of plenty of things. But we'll get to that later.
The court of a grand king isn't nice, and every adviser wants to influence the king into favoring his/her province. There will be alliances, rivalries, backstabbing, bribes, plots and much more behind the back of the wee king. Of course there will also be external threats and stuff that will be happening to the land, and the advise that the players give to the king, one way or another, will influence what happens to the grand Empire of Torivian. Maybe your province breaks the chains and becomes an independent state? It's all up to you!
I'm looking for about four to five people to get this rolling, so let me know what you think!
PS: The tag says Advanced, and while it is not a requisite to write an entire book every post, I do want a deep story and developing characters. So there's that.
