Ukiyo (浮世): the fleeting world; the transient world; the floating world

Perhaps other men would delight in receiving a barony from the high king. A floating isle of ones very own, to govern and maintain, and, but for the taxes due to the high king each season, an independence most men can only dream of.

Yet, you can feel no delight in your appointment. This is because...

>It is a punishment. A form of polite exile for your transgressions against the high court.
>It is a burden. A responsibility you never asked for, and a serious constraint on your otherwise carefree life.
>It is a mistake. It is not you who should have received this incredible boon, but someone else.
>Write-in

This is a civ quest taking place on a "floating islands" setting in which you play the ruler of a small island. Mechanics will be introduced as we go.
