The Birdman of Stirling Game: Henry, Peter, and Nicole have arrived at the majestic Stirling Castle, eager to uncover the strange and captivating tale of a man known only as the Birdman. His real name was John Damian—an ambitious Italian alchemist who once stood in the favor of the Scottish king.
Damian had promised wonders: rivers of gold, forged not from mines, but from the humble metals of everyday life. Yet, despite years of secretive experiments and mysterious powders, his dream of transmutation never bore fruit. Afraid of losing the king’s trust, he vowed something even more astonishing—he would craft wings that would allow a man to soar through the skies.
Word of this daring feat spread quickly. On the fateful day, townsfolk gathered from every corner of Stirling, filling the castle grounds with a restless buzz. All eyes turned to Damian as he ascended the high battlements, wings strapped to his back. And then—he leapt.
The result was far from the miracle he promised. Instead of becoming Scotland’s first man to fly, Damian became a figure of legend, whispered about for generations: Was he a visionary genius ahead of his time, or merely a charlatan with grand illusions?
Now, our three modern-day storytellers have set out to uncover the truth. Hidden records, forgotten testimonies, and scattered relics may hold the answers—if they can piece together the life of the Birdman of Stirling.
