The King's Surveyor

Far From Home

The King's Surveyor is a first-person exploration adventure in the old-school tradition. A simple man, lost in a world far older and stranger than he is, must find his way home. Embark on adventure. Embrace wanderlust. Endure the journey.

Sebastian is the King's Surveyor. Not a soldier, not a mage, just a careful man with a torch and a good eye, who has never once failed to come back from the unknown. He does the work because he is good at it, because it keeps his family fed, and because he does not stop.

The Aurelith crown sends him south to chart Vesterra, an ancient valley at the edge of the realm. Something very old reaches out of the darkness, corrupting the surveyor's path, and he wakes beyond the edge of every map he has ever drawn. Whatever it is, it does not want him to get home. He must return home.

The Light

Magic here is not something you cast. It is an old, quiet relationship with the Light, the tether to the undercurrent of the world. Sebastian carries a torch. It is how he sees, and what the dark keeps its distance from, and it does not last. Out here, some things wake to light and react. Not all of them kindly.
