Repeated intro
Hello MiLords and MiLadies. Today I want to share a small sneak peak from our new story system. In the full update, all of these stories will be fully interactive with different choices and branching paths. But in this preview, I am showing a simple linear version so you can get a feeling for the new tone and character style.

Milord changes
There will be hundreds of new stories in the update, many of them shaped directly by your decisions. For now, here is a small look at what is coming.
Narrator:
[[ A half-armoured man enters the court.]]
[[Weather-bitten face.]]
[[White hair tied back.]]
[[Two swords crossed on his back.]]
[[In his hand, a stained leather sack, still dripping.]]
Gutenberg of Riverra:
“Honoured Baron. I am Gutenberg of Riverra. I have hunted a werebeast on your lands. Here, its head.”
Player:
Werebeasts aren’t real. What are you, touched in the head?
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"I am a monster hunter, dear lord. And for this service to you and your folk, I ask payment in gold.”
Player:
Where’s the head?
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"In this sack, Milord.”
Player:
Open the sack. Let’s see it.
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"M’lord… it’s a lake of blood in there. If you wish to see it, I can leave it by the stables, and you may look later.”
Player:
I don’t pay for invisible monsters. Be gone.
Narrator:
[[Gutenberg hesitates at the way out.]]
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Hmmmm. Before I depart, Milord… Have you seen her? A woman, black-haired. A witch.”
Player:
And now whitches... Gods preserve me… go on then. Describe her.
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"She is no great beauty, Milord, though there’s a certain charm to her… Hard woman to forget.”
Player:
Is every word out of this guy's mouth a damned riddle? Try something clearer. Any distinct feature?
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Her nose, just a touch long."
Narrator:
[[Sounds more like]]
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Her lips, thin, a little pinched."
Narrator:
[[a monster.]]
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Her chin, slightly set back."
Narrator:
[[Yes.]]
[[Definitely a monster.]]
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Her brows, crooked, like she’s forever questioning you.”
Player:
If such a "beauty" had walked into my court, my councillors would’ve raised a fuss. No, no one like that’s passed through. Not yet.
Gutenberg of Riverra:
"Then I wish you a good day, Milord.”
Thank you for being here. See you again tomorrow with another preview.
