A Shakespeare/steam punk/noir/war story.

WAR!
The Kingdom of Brition is on the brink of war. The Prime Minister of Illyria has been murdered. Although declared a homicide and not an assassination both Kingdoms have been massing troops along their respective borders. Less then 30 years ago these two lands fought each other in a war, known as the Trade War, that ravaged both Kingdoms.

The daughter of the Prime Minister has disguised herself and snuck into Kingdom of Brition to discover the secret behind her fatherâ€™s death. Not having anyone else to turn to she finds herself forced to employ a P.I. who was former member of the Royal Court. Her fatherâ€™s death hides a secret that may prevent a war if brought to light but forces conspire against them.

The Royal Court struggles to contain the chaos of the Kingdom. The King has yet to produce an heir and in the shadows there are whispers that can be heard, voices that speak of coup. Two men stand in the inner circle of the Court, trusted be those around them, it may fall to them to shape the future of the country.

Fortuneâ€™s Fool. A dramatic new web comic that takes classic characters and injects them into a world filled with mystery, war and intrigue. Adding a dash of steam punk we have a living breathing stage that holds everything from battlefields to family drama.

Cast- These are the main ones. There are other smaller roles that will get fleshed out over time.

With what looks like an outbreak of war on the horizon his and the increased pressure to produce an heir he as been stretched to the breaking point and his kingdom has begun to suffer for it. Blinded by the struggle of his personal life his senses have become dull leaving him unaware of the growing conspiracy against him.

Fredrick Ool- The spokesman for the King. The most public face of the Royal Court outside of the family, he is a trusted figure to both the subjects and to the King; who considers him a trusted friend.

Atreus Hugo- The Kingâ€™s top advisor and most trusted ally. Born the same year as the King he comes from the Kingdom of Calabro, that shortly before his birth was conquered by The Kingdom of Brition. During the Trade War against Edward III of York, Atreus was assigned to the Kingâ€™s, who was at that time still a prince, platoon due to his eat knowledge and tactical skill. Atruesâ€™ keen mind helped save the prince from an ambush that would have cost him his life; as a result they grew close and the prince took him on as his personal advisor. It has been partly due to his genius that the Kingdom has done so well the past decades and although he has enjoyed a life of comfort Atrues has become bitter by the lack of recognition he receives. His sister Miranda Hugo is married to the King.

Miranda Thear- Atreusâ€™ younger sister by twenty some years she meet the King at his former wifeâ€™s funeral.

Praised for stopping bloodshed he was a hero to both nations, he was also the Prime Minister for Illyria after the war.
