A claimant to the throne occupied by the Traitor Empress has been seen in London. But if he claims descent from the Royal Family, what claims might they make upon him? Perhaps someone ought to warn the poor boy. Perhaps someone ought to make sure he gets where he belongs.

As of right now, you can play (or re-play) the Exceptional Story Reunion, for free! That's right, without an Exceptional Friendship subscription!

One of the strands of feedback from the latest player survey was that you wanted a better understanding of what an Exceptional Story is like to play, before committing to a subscription. We thought that sounded reasonable and so we’ve made this story available to whet your appetite for a monthly delivery of similar.

Reunion was the Exceptional Story for June 2021. It’s a pretty juicy one. Written by James Chew, it has key art by Monika Eidintaite, and the editing and QA were done by Olivia Wood. We hope you enjoy it!

Look for An Exceptional Story: Reunion anywhere in London. You'll unlock it when you've achieved level 5 in each of the four Making Your Name storylines.
