1348, Europe – The Black Death ravages Europe, and your country still has no king after the last one was killed by the plague. The nobility of the land has had enough of you princes never being able to settle for an heir for the country. Therefore, the nobles have begun to interfere with your disputes. On your visits to the various buildings, it may now occur that you meet a noble with a political agenda of his own. In some cases, he welcomes you and helps you in your quest, while in other cases he tries to make life as difficult as possible for you. Will you be able to keep the nobles at your side in your struggles against the other princes so that at last a new, worthy king can be elected?
