In the realm of gaming sensation The Gates of TirNiki, Earl Hail Jeoran just might be the best of both worlds. His father was a Traveler, or player, and his mother was an NPC. As a result, he's a native player character, with abilities and potential beyond imagining . . . which is how he landed in his own personal holosuite jail. Apparently, when in-game threats lead to real-life violence, people can get sort of touchy.

Although Hail would be perfectly happy remaining an earl/adventurer, he's been drawn into a lethal contest for the throne of Yuikon. Meanwhile, an enigmatic enemy is systematically assassinating other members of the royal line.
