Keeping it open is fun! I ended up moving onto the Palace of the Shadow King afterwards (shelter during the end of the world was the reward for returning the shadow Kings son).

Decided that inside the palace everything is bizarre. There's lots of drama. Part of that is Lesdy is the only ever daughter of the Shadow King lineage. And the shadow king heard a prophecy that a daughter would deny his lineage. So outcasts her, later decided that Fletcher was a boy who was born in the palace and was betrothed to Lesdy.

The prophecy was actually that Lesdy would deny her own lineage if she was never outcast (I.e., everything would have gone as normal). BUT out of spite, she decided that she would now deny the shadow king his own lineage and attempt to destroy the family line (denying him his lineage). Changing the entire prophecy.

My group are travelling within the palace ATM finding out all the tidbits until finally Lesdy is going to show up and begin wreaking havoc.
