The true and mostly undisputed history
Long ago, when lesser monarchs were losing kingdoms through poor planning and terrible hats, two rightful rulers slipped quietly across the sea carrying the last surviving charter of the Renaissance Crown.
Those rulers were Barbarian J, Warlord of Questionable Wisdom, and Pirate Vic, Captain of the Teal Tide. They established a hidden court among the balconies, taverns, parades, and cobblestones of New Orleans, where the crown has flourished in glorious secrecy ever since.
Now the royal seal has been divided among 15 wandering crests. Each sticker marks a fragment of the kingdom. Those bold enough to find them may claim quests, receive a permanent royal title, and earn a place in the Hall of Legends.
The Renaissance Kings seek neither tribute nor coin from their loyal subjects. This is simply a lighthearted side quest for thy French Quarter adventure: no advertisements, no sales pitch, and no hidden scheme to empty thy purse. The Crown offers only stress-free entertainment, questionable honors, and a story worth telling when the night is done.
