- Storyline
- The King has been roaming the countryside of Wesnor and killing peons. A team of highly skilled Inquisitors have been hired to hunt him down and put him in a prison known as the Vault Stone. This stone has the power to hold his soul and thus restrict his ability.
- The king is aware of these newcomers to his land and fights them. During the fight he finds out they are stronger than he had thought and realizes he needs to gain more power before he tries to attack them again.
- A starter cutscene where the King tries to fight them and almost dies, but runs away would be great, but no clue on if this is feasible with our time limit.

- This is where our storyline starts. The king is injured and has to recover from his wounds. To do so he will have to consume souls near his retreat location until he is healthy again.

Interesting! I like the concept, I believe. ^_^
How is it to play? Is it a third-person shooter/hack-and-slash of some sort? Something akin to a MOBA? Something else entirely? You say that the Paladin can force the King to target him, which seems to imply some form of indirect control.
For a short while during reading I was afraid that your concept here was going to be rather like one of the possibilities that I'm considering! I'm glad to say that the two seem thus far to be quite different: the only similarities (as my concept currently stands, and if I read your concept correctly) are that both have a pre-set "squad" of enemy characters, and have the player on the villainous side.
