The Chosen

, was a 2022 neo-classical traditional-style action drama campaign set on Aerth, run by Albus as a semi-related origin point to the events of The Decent.
It followed a group of specially chosen people by King Alan named the King's Royal Guard, who were tasked with helping, investigating, and reinstating said king after Vale Grix warped the narrative using the infamous metapotent Fate of Fools.
 was completed on the 13th of April, 2024, after nineteen months and two weeks of play. It's ending was flash-forwarded/retroactively artificially accelerated due to Malkuro leaving for a break. It was the first modern era Aethstyr Server campaign completed. It received mixed to overall positive acclaim, and was most well noted for its enjoyment to play live on the board.
==Background==
King Alan was the ruler of the Aerthen Floating Islands, and the four islands were in a long period of peace. Under his army regiment was a captain of the guard, Shakan. A month prior, Shakan had taken two new guards under his command, Brace O'Connor and Cloud Disanitas. One morning, as the two new recruits made their way to their posts of the Royal Castle, a messenger maid alerted Shakan that he and his new recruits were summoned to the King's Office. Soon after, a fourth mysterious individual who went by only Yume had arrived with a letter also requesting her summoning.
It was there that Shakan, Brace, Cloud, and Yume found that King Alan had requested they become his personal Royal Guard. They would be paid well — either through gold or knowledge — and all four accepted. Their first mission was immediate. Delivering two scrolls.
