More concrete refinements incoming.

Each player character will have a meaningful and defined role to play. We will need...
* The villain Caradras, of course (played by me)
* An exile Prince destined to become the next king
* A Princess to be captured
* The knight who serves the Prince
* The conflicted antagonist who works for the villain at first

I may add roles if more players arrive, but these are the base ones. The broader plot will work something like this:

The Kingdom of Man is but a shadow of its former self ever since the line of kings ended. The dragon, recently disenchanted with humans for undisclosed reasons, took advantage of their weakness and started conquering the land with his orc armies. Because he hates humans, he rules them with an iron fist. The Prince must answer the call of his people and save them from the dragon.

The intro, then, is fairly obvious. We can tackle it from two angles: a Prince who can't stand watching the oppression of his people, and a beleaguered Princess who gets captured by a dragon.

I can work with this. Expect a thread soon.
