Great feedback. I was thinking Hugh would be a good source but I can see upon reading it that it could be more explicit. Maybe some glyphs and other environmental clues. I also think a wandering monster table with more obviously hostile monsters (new faction?) would add some stakes / fun. I need to think about this issue some more. I meant the throne’s true nature to be a twist, as in those who inhabit it live on through Caractacus. I need to polish the coherence for sure. Luckily I have some pals that offered some editing.
