Unknown King (RPG)

**Unknown King**(also known as "The Unknown King") was an RPG with the ultimate goal of becoming the king of Aure Voir Island. The gameplay had Players move their characters across "regions" of a large island in order to persuade its Leaders through peace or war, to support them in their goal. Along the way, Players could acquire stat boosts, NPC companions and items to aid them in their quest. If a Player was able to convince three Regions out of the six to swear loyalty, he or she would be announced the winner.

The game's setting in the Hilt Timeline was at an undetermined time far in the future of any other game, potentially millions of years after the Conglomerate Wars. The game's ending revealed all events took place in an Alternate Universe, where the Conglomerate had successfully killed Anton Zerp and his crew and became rulers of the dying AU Snickers Galaxy.

## Setting

Hundreds of years before the start of the game, an Unknown King ruled over the Island of Aure Voir. The Island was prosperous and the people thrived under his rule. There were six regions on the island which were run by the King's trusted advisors, with each region contributing to Island inhabitance. At the peak of their power, the King realized they were the only land they were aware of. The King set out for expeditions over sea, air and excavation. All attempts at finding other lands were futile. Soon after this, the King was struck with a terrible illness and was reported to have gone mad. He told his advisors he would bring ruin to this Island of Aure Voir. In response, his advisors gathered their armies and rebelled against their King, his castle and the King, last seen going up in flames.

The beginning of the game sees the Island with many problems, split between six rulers all with different goals. The Player is to unite this Island by any means necessary, through solving the regions problems or going to war.

## Story

Each Character began in separate regions and explored through the map, searching for items, the Leaders of the Regions and recruiting companions. Each Leader gave the Characters different missions to complete and upon completion, gained influence. Some players, notably General Piotr Revelen, Isogfrys (Iso and Frys), Varn Blarters and Aizen Sosuke sought to find more information about the Unknown King and the source of his madness. They discovered that their Galaxy beyond this planet was slowly dying, that three "Key Items" were needed to unlock the true story of the King's Castle and that the Advisors didn't want people to discover the truth of what the King discovered in his excavations. A Garden planted in the Forest Nation, produced fruit that greatly increased one's lifespan. The King's loyal Guardians and the Old King himself, had eaten the fruit before the Garden was burned down.

Meanwhile, Sheena Arens was able to gain the loyalty of the Sky Explorers but gave up when she got bored. Llewellyn Grey, almost took the loyalty of the Ocean Dwellers, but fell head over heels for the Pirate Naomi, orchestrated marrying her and giving her back the position of true leader of Ocean Dwellers, usurping Admiral Jules.  The final grab for Kingship came between Barron Vliente Ardens and Johan Artens, who had a rivalry the entire game. Vliente was able to take the Kingship at the last moment, but appointed Johan Artens as Grand Moff underneath him and allowed him to marry Ice Queen Evelyn. Basal T was also allowed to become a Grand Moff. A lone guard at the Stone Empire finally got his date. And Llewellyn Grey was finally able to construct his massive water slide project off the Grant Mountain.

The game's ending revealed that the Conglomerate had successfully taken over the Snickers Galaxy and destroyed the heroic Anton Zerp and his crew eons ago. The Unknown King, revealed to be Owl who dwelt in the Castle waiting for his successor, revealed that under the island was a time machine left behind by a fallen civilization, Using the time machine would send someone into the past, to make a major change and potentially ending the current timeline and creating a new one. King Vliente Ardens sent the Knight Valore into the past to stop the Conglomerate from winning.

In post game, Llewellyn and Naomi Grey, Sheena Arens and Aizen Sosuke all jumped through the Time Portal without King consent.
