The King of Blackthorn rose to power on the strength of his sword. Once a beacon of strength, he has grown old and is no longer a vital leader of his country, while others have risen to power within his council. In a battle of subterfuge, the councilors ruthlessly vie against one another for true control of Blackthorn. Whispers of treason echo through the halls, and the King will call for the axe for any he deems a traitor.
As a member of the Council of Blackthorn, you must build influence with the kingdom's factions to expand your political influence. Rumors, bribes, spies, and poison are the tools of your trade.
Council of Blackthorn is about secretly gaining power while convincing your rival council members that you are not a threat. Deflect all eyes onto your most powerful enemy and take the keys to the kingdom as well as a great seat at his or her execution. Attract too much attention to yourself and the King's axe will find you!
Rise to power in the King's council. Weave your political web. Spread rumors. Get your archrival beheaded! It's been a good day!
