[WP] You've pulled the magic sword from the stone, marking yourself as a king-candidate. But you're not the only candidate. There are others who pulled an axe from a stone, a spear from a stone, and even an arrow, and the list goes on. Now you must fight for a seat on the throne.

[WP] “She’s not the strongest, or most skilled. She’s not the ‘chosen one’ or the daughter of a king or the spawn of a god. She’s not the blinding ray of hope that we sought, but she’s brave; willing to fight. Alone in the darkest of nights, even a faint light will shine like a beacon. We need her.”
