A Castle Besieged

This story follows the three Amrath siblings, the children of Sir Richard Amrath and his wife, Dame Elizabeth. They are at war with a rival family, the Ezrathi clan, who have recently launched a daring attack on Castle Amrath itself. You will guide one of the siblings through the events of the siege. How the siege plays out depends on your choices, so think carefully before choosing. I suggest not using the back button; fail states are extremely rare, and it will be more satisfying to live with the consequences of your choices.

First, you'll have to choose which of the Amrath children to follow. Their storylines will intersect at points, and they will hit most of the same key situations, but each has an area of expertise that determines what choices are available to them in those situations.

Note that I am not yet sure just how erotic this story will be. I don't plan to throw in sex for sex's sake, and it will almost certainly be possible to complete the game without encountering any sexual scenes. Additionally, despite the categorization, some of the sexual scenes that are included will involve rape and incest, so consider yourself trigger-warned.

Mark Amrath: 25 years old. The eldest male child and thus the heir to the throne. He has no talent at arms, much to Sir Richard Amrath's chagrin, and he's not the smoothest nor brightest fellow around, but years of sneaking out of the castle and slumming it up at the local alehouses have lent him an unparalleled knowledge of the secret ins and outs of Amrath Castle. He is talented at the art of disguise, and he's lighter on his feet than the average cat. All of these skills will prove invaluable soon.

Sara Amrath: 26 years old. The oldest sibling, Sara's gender was a great disappointment to her father. He had wanted a male heir right off the bat, but once Mark came along and showed no interest in manly things like beating people with metal sticks, he decided to make do with what he was given and took to training Sara as a knight. She's tough and can trounce most in a fight, but her father's zeal left her little time for her studies. Luckily, her castle is currently filled to the brim with enemies that need a good trouncing.

Margaret Amrath: 18 years old. Though her parents will never admit it, Margaret was not a particularly well-loved daughter. After a particularly disgraceful display on Mark's part, Richard and Elizabeth decided to try one last time for a worthy heir. One can imagine their disappointment when they were presented with another girl. They have always made it clear to her that she is unwanted. As such, she's been going through a bit of a rebellious phase lately, spending much of her time in the taverns as well. Lacking Mark's know-how, she's had to rely on her "natural assets" to get herself out of trouble with the guards. She's been cultivating this talent, and her area of expertise lies in smooth talking and seduction.
