Then, you might also be interested in this earlier update that introduces us to Tarlock, one of the characters you'll be able to meet during your adventure. Here's what he's all about:
Tarlock rose to prominence as one of King Ith’s senior advisors just a few years ago, and fell from grace nearly as quickly as he rose. Dynamic, charismatic, and prone to sudden violence, his hot temper intrigued King Ith and felt like a good potential way to balance the King’s calm love of peace. In the struggles against the werewolves, Tarlock was initially a celebrated leader. But when he ordered the slaughter of an entire Wolfpack, Ith realized that he’d made a grave mistake and fired Tarlock immediately.
Tarlock quietly began drawing in followers who didn’t agree with King Ith’s love of diversity and cultural exchange. He begun to feed on their desire for Celtic superiority, and stoked the flames of racism and unrest in order to gain power. He doesn’t actually believe most of what he preaches, and will say anything necessary to get others to follow him- even if it contradicts something he said earlier that very day.
His daughter, Tiana, is his most valuable pawn. He claims to love her, but would cast her aside without much thought if she threatened his own position. Tiana’s mother, Alanna, died nearly a decade ago. Tarlock told his daughter it was because Alanna’s own magic consumed her. But was it?
