About the Story

The Stags fall to their knees - all save one, who holds up the antlered crown of their Ragged King.

The Young Stags - favourite haunt of the young, rich and idle - are holding a lottery! Their secretive Ragged King is weary, and they require a temporary sovereign to reign over them for seven days.

Enjoy the privileges of rule and uncover the truth behind the Stags in this tale of sovereignty, mystery-rites, and political corruption.

Review by rngwrldngnr
Interesting and pretty short. [...] There are some dark secrets, and it's reasonably well delivered. There isn't a whole lot going on, but what plot there is ties well into the season themes of family and power dynamics. Interesting as sort of an abbreviated Flint, trying out some of the same ideas of a choice of external companions and toggleable companion permadeath, but in a more typically sized story. Enjoyable enough. I do wish there was more follow up in an epilogue to show how things changed for that Stags afterwards.
