Introduction:
Many common folk admire and envy those that are lucky enough to be born into the highest ranks of society, yet, none would want the life you've endured. Few realize the danger that awaits at the bottom of the King's Cup, or under the Queen's Bed. A drop of poison in one, a cloak and dagger beneath the other, placed accordingly based on the desires and wants of any green eyed friend or relative. You've seen it, you've lived through it (which is more than the rest of your family can say).
You thought you were free, but you weren't. Robert sent men North, South, East and West when you fled. A local Lord and his family (who sympathized with you) tried their best to hide you within their own keep, but couldn't. Robert learned of your whereabouts - by means unknown to you - and sent his men after. You ran with the family, taking to the sea, in hopes of sailing beyond Roberts reach, but again could find no freedom. You were chased into unknown waters, far out, beyond the sight of land. Roberts ships, however, gave up their chase and finally, it seemed you were free... but fate is not kind.
Your ship was ravaged by a great storm, and you were flung into the icy waters, left - it would seem - to die at sea. But you did not, you survived.
Starting Post:
You awake on a cold rocky shore, at the base of a tall cliff. You are soaked, half drowned, but alive. The rocks about you are sharp and jagged, smoky grey in color, and jet up from out of the shallow water you lie in. The cliff before you is of the same grey, made up of long overlapping sheets of smooth rock that gleam with wetness (an almost impossible climb). The sky is dark and clouded over, hiding the sun from view. Far off to your right (atop the cliff) there is a lighthouse, no light burns within. You might be able to climb up to it from the beach, but there is no way to know without getting closer. To your left, the cliff gradually shortens as it gets farther away; you can see the point where the cliff appears to meet the ground (that place, however, is about twice the distance away from you as the lighthouse).
