Awakening: Kingdoms

Game Description

It is Time to Rebuild

Thanks to the valiant efforts of the brave and noble Queen Sophia, the Skyward Kingdom was finally freed from the evil sorcerer, Dreadmyre. Unfortunately, while he was beaten, he was far from defeated. As he fled from the land of the skies, the queen pursued him, leaving the country to rebuild itself in her absence.

As Queen Sophia's steward, it falls upon you to restore the Skyward Kingdom back to its glory days. In order to do this, you must first scour the land for all the items needed to repair the damage left behind during the war, as well as undo the remaining curses of Dreadmyre. Then, you must use whatever resources you find to rebuild both the castle and surrounding villages. It won't be easy, but with a keen eye, an architect's mind, and a pure heart, the Skyward Kingdom will be good as new before Sophia returns.
