Welcome to the early 13th Century and the challenges that come with living in the Holy Roman Empire under civil war. This book contains details of the ordinary townsfolk of Ingolstadt¸ as well as the two thieves guilds that vie for power in the streets¸ each with it's own views on how to hold the reigns of power.
The game is set in the spring of the Year 1200 and located in the area of the Holy Roman Empire¸ around the important city of Ingolstadt. The Empire has seen the death of a great leader in the person of Henry VI and he leaves behind a young son Frederick; too young to rule as Emperor. Philip of Swabia and Otto of Brunswick vie for the seat as Holy Roman Emperor casting the whole land into a civil war.
Philip has the support of the majority of the nobles in the south and has used this to crown himself king of Germany; however¸ without the support of the church he can not become Emperor.
