Once Upon a Mystery

Morven is the great stabilizer of the Enchanted Realm. He’s the king of the Caspar Sea and maintains the peace between the eight domains, which have historically been plagued with bad blood, often threatening warfare.

Someone has stolen King Morven’s beloved trident, and he has turned to stone on the shore of Wonderland. The Red Heart Army has been sharpening their heart-tipped lances, the war monkeys of Osland are preparing for battle, and the leaves of the Silver Tree Forest trees are browning in despair. The trident must be found, or the future of the Enchanted Realm is uncertain.

   The Red Ruler has invited representatives from each domain to travel to Wonderland to solve this crime. Whoever stole the trident must be held accountable, and it must be returned to King Morven, so he can return to normal, restore balance, and maintain the peace in the realm.

You must attend this meeting. This is where your story begins.

CAPTAIN JACKIE BLADE

Pirate of the Caspar Sea

Captain Jackie Blade is the notorious pirate of the Caspar Sea.  Everybody in the realm knows Captain Blade, but Captain Blade claims to be a friend to no one. Ever since King Morven turned to stone, Captain Blade has kept busy battling an infamous sea monster from another realm, sea witches, and attacks from the shore of Spellbound Island.  This pirate was already bad-tempered, but the current situation has turned Cap’n Blade utterly grumpy and unreasonable.

​

THE DARK QUEEN

Ruler of the Silver Tree Forest

The Dark Queen is the malevolent ruler of the Silver Tree Forest. There are whispers across the land that this naughty queen is plotting to take over the Enchanted Realm. The desire to conquer other domains must run in the family, as The Red Ruler shares her goal. However, there is no concrete evidence of her scheming– it’s all just rumors and hearsay. Like her evil sibling in Wonderland, The Dark Queen rules the land by instilling fear in the people’s hearts.

​

THE RED RULER

Ruler of Wonderland

The Red Ruler is the maniacal sibling of The Dark Queen. The Red Ruler governs Wonderland with an iron fist and is quick to order your head on a silver platter if you so much as get on this power-hungry leader's nerves.  The Red Heart Army surrounds this ruler at all times and will act on any command without delay. Everyone knows that The Red Ruler wishes to take over the Enchanted Realm and become the supreme head of state. The Dark Queen would never allow such a thing to happen.
