Sorting Hat / Diamond Structure

Before the journey begins, who are you? [[The Knight->Knight]] [[The Scholar->Scholar]] [[The Thief->Thief]]

<% s.origin = 'Knight'; %> You trained with sword and shield, sworn to the crown. [[Leave home->MainQuest]]

<% s.origin = 'Scholar'; %> You studied forbidden books by candlelight. [[Leave home->MainQuest]]

<% s.origin = 'Thief'; %> You learned to move unseen through crowded markets. [[Leave home->MainQuest]]

From here, the road to the capital is the same for everyone. As a **<%= s.origin %>**, you notice details others miss — but the quest ahead is shared by all three origins. [[Enter the capital->Ending]]

The main story unfolds identically from this point on. Your early choice colored the opening and flavors the telling, but it did not change the course. **The End** [[Choose a new origin->Restart]]

<% s.origin = ''; %> [[Begin->Start]]
