I was thinking more of the Lion King, but hey....

Ok, so are we still going to use a cup, or some other magic item? An amulet seems appropriate, if not a bit cliche, but the Cup of Kings has a certain ring to it.

I was also thinking about the city itself, and why the PCs might be there. Since it's likely a fairly large city, I was thinking that maybe there was a Midsummer Festival underway where people came from all around. Lots of opportunities to meet some NPCs and get into a little trouble before the adventure proper. Maybe even a few contests of skill (archery, drinking, gambling) that can alert the king's steward to the PCs presence.

If we're going to stick with a child-king, I don't think it's too early to see a picture of him. Maybe make him about 10-12 years old? Which one of our illustrators is up for it?
