Shadowsong III: The Guild of Jesters (Game)

Shadowsong III: The Guild of Jesters is the third and possibly final game in the saga. It is unknown as to the events of the game, but it is thought to be set in the capital kingdom of Shadowsong, called Eldrin. The game as of yet has not even been announced as being in production, as only the name has been released.

The word "Jesters" in the title assumes that this game may have some relation once again with the Dark Brotherhood, as a jester character co-stars in the second game.

It has been announced that the game is not yet in production, but will be as time progresses. The main protagonist is a ranger called Ariel and throughout the game, Ariel can travel to all 5 kingdoms in Shadowsong. Players will also be given the option to play as Riley, the male version of Ariel.

It is presumed that the production of the whole game will most likely take over half a year to make. However, it has been announced that the game will consist of three major storylines as apposed to one. The first one has already been announced.

What's been Announced
The first possible storyline that has been annouced involves a large and complex story between two factions of Shadowsong. The Vanguards, the main governers of Shadowsong, who strongly believe in Aliquism, are being revolted by the Arbiters, which is an old clan that has recently become the new power in Central Eldrin. With them, the Arbiters brought in their own religion, Monotropism. The religion believes that the Watchers do not exist, but a single being known as The Magnitude, or more commonly "The Untouchable" created Shadowsong and all the larger islands surrounding it.

Ven, the leader of Central Eldrin at the time, decided that he wanted belief of the Watchers to die and wished to kill Aliquism and everyone who believed in it. This sets the scene for a large-scale war against the Vanguards. When Ven sends in forces to Dragonshore, the forces are held back, but Orion, who is now the Thane of Dragonshore, becomes injured; breaking a rib that punctures his lung. Being that Dragonshore was quite utile for the Vanguards, it means they are now down a leader and are at a slight disadvantage. The Arbiters invade Stonehelm, another Aliquistic region, and force them into surrender, forcing them to become Monotropites. Those who refused to deny the Watchers were killed, so many people escaped into the Elder Forest and seeked refuge. Dragonshore took in over 7000 civilians to live there and Dragonshore built villages for them. Dragonshore was now like a hub for the Vanguards, all of this unknown to Eldrin.

This is where the story starts, where you are either Ariel or Riley, a young hunter who lives in Central Eldrin. Throughout the game, you choose whether you wish to become an Arbiter or a Vanguard.
