Vogvhathos

Vogvhathos is a role-playing text adventure about an elf fleeing the mercenary town of Kirkvir with their best friend, Gruzi. You live with him in a remote tower and have claimed to be his soulmate, or “voifoten,” in a false marriage to protect him from the Council, which threatened to force him into marriage because he is a mage. Rejected by the city as a “dropoff” because your lineage is unknown, you spend your free time watching the official trainees. After you spar with Weapon Master Lubien, he reveals that the Council has learned the truth about you and Gruzi. Your flight from Kirkvir leads to an ancient ruin and a buried secret.

Choices and endings

Almost every choice affects the story. You can focus on adventuring or romance your companions, explore freely or try to prove yourself to the city council. The story branches and has multiple endings.

Characters

You play an acrobatic elf who longs to leave the city and live as a mercenary, but Kirkvir refuses to Sign anyone whose lineage is unknown. You choose whether your character is male or female. Gruzi is your best friend and technically your husband, but the marriage is platonic and exists to keep him safe from the Council.

Other characters include:

• Vogvhathos: discovered sealed in buried desert ruins, this character claims to be a dragon. They say the power crystal you absorbed belongs to them and that you now command most of their power. You choose whether Vogvhathos is male or female.
• Lubien: Kirkvir’s Weapon Master, a Council member who trains new mercenaries. His status and looks make him the city’s most sought-after bachelor.
• Rinagi: a rogue mercenary from Kirkvir who hates the city and its politics. Though born and raised there, he sometimes uses his skills as an assassin on the city’s behalf, but only on his own terms.
• Cloveia: an elf from the distant past whose story is an optional addition, unlocked in segments as the main story progresses. Her connection to current events is a mystery.
