- Build wealth keep working so your assets grow enough to support a promotion.

- Unlock roles work your way from Peasant through Villager, Servant, Jester, and beyond.

Two paths to the throne
TableOnce you are close to the top of the social ladder, you face a choice about how to take power.
| Earn trust | build a good relationship with the current Monarch and receive the throne legitimately. |
| Plot a revolt | work against the Monarch and attempt to seize the crown through conspiracy. |
| Risk of ruling badly | once you hold power, treating your people poorly causes them to revolt and take the crown back from you. |
What happens when your rule goes wrong
WarnSitting on the throne does not mean you are safe. If you govern badly after taking power, the people of the kingdom will revolt and actively try to steal your crown.

Common questions
FAQHow do I actually get to the throne?
Work jobs to earn gold, use that wealth to climb through the social ladder, and unlock roles one by one until you reach the top. From there you can either gain the Monarch's trust for a peaceful handover of power, or plot against them to take the crown by force.
Can I change my role after I pick one?
New roles unlock as you rise through the social hierarchy, so progression is the key to accessing different positions. Reaching a higher rank opens up more of the eleven roles for you to take on.
How many other players will I share a server with?
A single server holds up to fifty players.
Are there codes I can redeem for rewards?
Yes — codes are released periodically and each one can only be used once. Some codes expire, so redeem them as soon as you can.
