The premise, in the publisher's words

The stakes are absolute. The winner of the Grand Festival is granted a single, binding Request from the King. It is a prize that Kings covet and Nobles scheme for, and they need a champion to claim it. You are playing for Patronage. Every village you impress and every Noble you dazzle brings you one step closer to the capital. But be warned: push the crowd too hard with "Folly" and you'll be booed off the stage. Only the boldest plays will secure the Fame necessary to stand before the King.
