Our ‘Lore of Stronghold‘ video series covers both the characters and history of Stronghold, the building blocks of our core story. Delving deep into the annals of Firefly’s design and writing, which have over the years shaped the narrative of our castle sim series, this lore series intends to provide fans with two things. First a cinematic summary for players who have never played a Stronghold title in their life and second a few hidden details, for those of you looking to start your umpteenth playthrough!

Today we look at Duc Beauregard, otherwise known as The Snake, studying his place in the world of Stronghold and impact events in Stronghold 1. Discover how this conniving two-faced coward, hiding behind a literal wall of of gems, jewels and gold, had a decisive role to play in the uprising of The Boy and his eventual defeat of The Wolf.
