Romance:
King Arthur/Queen Elaine:
King Uther was known to have no chosen heir, as such, this person is naturally a pretender. Or so your father believes.
This person is at the centre of your life whether you marry them or not. An inexperienced monarch, lover and an uncertain leader. Through friendship or love, you could develop a great alliance. Or, through betrayal or cruelness, you could become the greatest of enemies.
Trope: Arranged marriage and royal romance.
Sir Kay:
The foster-brother of Arthur/Elaine. He is known to be very tall.
A heavy distrust towards you is evident with almost every early encounter with Sir Kay. With patience and enough will to stand up for yourself, he may grow to see you as a friend. If you explore a romance with Kay, you will quickly realise that despite how much closer you are, he is still putting up a wall. Once his wall begins to crumble, he will be your fierce protector and a source of great reliability.
Trope: A slow-burn romance. (Cannot be romanced if you marry Arthur/Elaine. He’ll see you as family!)
Lancelot:
Mysterious lake boy.
Lancelot is a man who has grown up in two very different worlds. His childhood experiences have given him a philosophical drive in life. He will become a quick friend and if you romance him, he will see you as his divine other half that he trusts almost implicitly.
Trope: Forbidden romance or the best friend of your ex-betrothed; if that’s even a thing. Choice dependant.
Lady Morgana:
Is Merlin’s apprentice and is the half-sister of Arthur/Elaine.
A sorceress, a witch, a daughter of Uther Pendragon. Morgana is eager to offer her friendship to you initially. She tries her best to make you feel supported and optimistic about your life in Camelot. Being someone who wants to make her own mark on the world, you may find that in romancing her, she is still very much an independent and self-sustaining force upon the world.
Trope: Royal romance and…Grieving Lover (Cannot be romanced if you marry Arthur/Elaine. She’ll see you as family!)
Sar Lunete:
She is a knight who is assigned as your guard. She has taken Camelot’s traditional female title, Sar, an alternate version of Sir.
Having sworn an oath to both her monarch and to protect you, there may be some inner turmoil that comes up depending on your choices. Lunete will be your friend if you offer friendship to her, and she may fall for you rather quickly should you decide to romance her. She is loyal and protective of you.
Trope: Bodyguard romance and potentially forbidden romance, depending on your choices.
Poly Romance
While married to Arthur/Elaine, you can have an affair with Lancelot or Lunete. This dynamic is not permitted by the King/Queen. So is obviously not poly so much as an affair route.
If you want a consentual poly relationship, you need to not marry Arthur/Elaine. Currently the only people who agree to this are Lunete and Kay. They do not have a sexual or romantic relationship with each other, only the player, and the relationship is otherwise closed. I am still writing how their dynamic evolves as it starts to appear properly in Chapter 4 onwards, which is after the end of the demo.
Given the complexity, no other poly routes are planned and the one that does is harder to maintain than other relationships in the game. This is not to punish players, but to maintain a belivable dynamic with people with certain set values.
More Explanation…
Every romance option has at least one hard-set rule for realism and a bit of drama. Every person has different rules, so if you are with both of them, thats more boundaries that need to be maintained. It’s not punishing really, since the player would have to activly push to break through that boundary.
Arthur/Elaine’s hard rule, or boundary, comes up in Chapter 1, and is the most divisive. I realised too late that some players hate these hard boundaries but for this game I like them, sorry.
