Crown of Three Kingdoms

The year is 1397. The kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway stand at a crossroads. War, plague, and dynastic struggles have left the north fractured. Yet one woman, Queen Margaret I of Denmark, has accomplished what kings could not: through cunning diplomacy and force of will, she has united the three crowns. But Margaret is no longer young. Her chosen heir is a boy - Erik of Pomerania, her great-nephew from a distant duchy on the southern Baltic coast. Though kin by blood, many in Scandinavia see him as an outsider. Nobles whisper, clergy posture, merchants scheme. You are a newly appointed Danish court diplomat, summoned to Kalmar Castle to witness history. Your words will weigh on kings and commoners alike. Will you bind the crowns into lasting union, or watch them fracture in resentment? The fate of the Kalmar Union rests on your choices.

Scene 3 Closing

Erik rises, the firelight etching youth and doubt into equal measure on his face. “Tomorrow decides if this union holds,” he whispers. “With you beside me, perhaps it will.” His hand lingers on your arm, not as a command, but as a plea.

You return to your quarters. The castle groans in the night wind, wood settling, banners snapping against stone. You lie awake listening to muffled footsteps, whispers in languages braided and unbraided by suspicion. Sleep takes you at last, heavy as iron.

What will you do?
