The realm has been re-unified. The leaders of its three factions (the English, Scottish, and Welsh) will soon arrive at the royal castle for a celebratory but tense dinner. If the dinner is a failure, the realm will descend into chaos yet again.
You are the royal hosts’ waitstaff, plating dishes and serving guests while following royal protocol. The fate of the realm now rests on your shoulders. Only you can maintain peace in the realm by making sure that all faction leaders are served fairly and that the royal hosts are satisfied.
