The Prince
About this class
They say the Questing Beast bellows the night before it crowns another lost noble of the cursed lineage. The elders refuse to speak on the matter, giving voice to tragedy always begets more tragedy. Woe to the crowned, their steps hounded by the beast in shadow; awakened screaming and sweat painted, grasping a crown that wasn’t there when they set down to bed. Unfortunate souls who walk the red roads to some unknown dusty throne.
It is no secret why they keep company with adventurers, for all else surely perishes in their company. Pray their journey is a short one, and pray that it doesn’t happen to you. Age, gender, race, and creed to not matter to the beast, any and all may be The Prince.
