Hexworthy

You have been tasked by the court of MARQUIS HANS STEFFEN II to track down his adolescent son HANS III, who has been moving through the march annoucing his death and thus his own usurpation. He was last spotted in the Hexworthy fields.

BUT

HANS III is not real: he is a fetch, or doppelgaenger, who has convinced HANS II that it is his rightful heir. If it can get itself seated in such a position of power, its private access to the crown is guaranteed. The fetch has become despondent at how long it's taking for its "father" to die and hopes to kick of a succession crisis instead.

A rural folk gothic adventure for my own oowl & weasel
