Versailles, 1700. The affair causing a
stir throughout the kingdom of France and all of Europe is the Spanish
succession. Who will King Charles II name in his will as heir to his innumerable
possessions?
It is at this point that Charles-Louis
de Faverolles turns up at the Court of Louis XIV, with neither influence at
court nor money. He is, however, armed with the ambition to become a diplomat,
in the hope of being sent specifically to Spain, where he yearns to be reunited
with the maiden Elvira, his childhood sweetheart.
Taking on the role of this character,
you must enter the Court and acquire its customs. You will need to choose your
allies, unfurl plots involving spies and courtiers, and, in the words of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs; be prepared to perform innumerable services!
