The King’s Tutor

Intro Askaria – The King’s Tutor The continent of Askaria has always seen turmoil every generation, warring nobles, dark cults, foul and frightening beasts, you name it. Needless to say, the rise of a new ruler after a 5 year long war between the various houses was not necessarily surprising, but many are unsure of what to do with their new ruler. By do with, you know well it is due to his…lack of social graces. Lord Malik Balvest has a brutal reputation on the battlefield both as a tactician and a warrior. The 31 year old Lord, now King, was the youngest son of the mostly deceased Balvest family. His grandmother, Lady Lida Balvest age 61, is the closest remaining family he has. Lady Lida has summoned you to the capital to become an etiquette tutor for King Malik. As her letter stated, though she suspects her grandson can cow the nobles into submission with ease, it is her hope that you can teach him proper court etiquette… You are 28 yrs old, either a scholar or minor noble.
