//Don’t worry, if the Thebes game continues next year I intend to:
1) make my advice indispensable to our brother/sister the king
2) prophesy his/her downfall (there are in-game reasons why that would happen, involving magic, shapeshifting, and a werewolf… it’s complicated)
3) put our brother the general and warrior in charge of my armies to defend the city from our brother the exiled regicide, and possibly from our brother the dark sorcerer with the talking Strormbringer-like black sword… it’s complicated)
4) keep a sharp look-out for our sister/brother the Dionysian priest with the winged sandals, who might be up to anything… (it’s complicated)
5) prophesy who is going to win
6) make sure the prophecy comes true
7) see how many of us die
8) make a long speech about it
9) therefore, by living to tell the tale, continue being the power behind the throne. Which is a much safer place to be than the throne itself.
