In the opulent halls of the Palace of the Kings of Navarre in Olite, Charles III 'the Noble' ruled with splendor unmatched in 15th-century Europe
Charles III, the building and dreaming king of Olite.
In the opulent halls of the Palace of the Kings of Navarre in Olite, Charles III 'the Noble' ruled with splendor unmatched in 15th-century Europe. But beneath the Gothic splendor and lavish courts lay a perilous secret: the Grand Royal Ledger, a forbidden tome chronicling the king's hidden follies—clandestine pacts, lost treasures, and betrayals that could topple the realm. As Castilian forces closed in, Charles encrypted the ledger and concealed its pages across the palace towers, church ruins, and medieval streets, entrusting fragments to loyal courtiers with riddles only the worthy could solve. Now, centuries later, the ledger's secrets threaten to vanish forever amid Olite's ancient stones. You are the last descendant of those courtiers, summoned by a cryptic map to reclaim the pages from the Homenaje Tower, Tres Coronas, the Parador's chambers, Chapel of San Jorge ruins, and key sites in the compact historic center. Decipher the codes, outwit the royal traps, and reconstruct the ledger to expose Charles III's ultimate conspiracy. Will you solve the mystery and claim the hidden fortune, or let the shadows of Navarre claim it eternally?

« « His towers were petrified dreams, but their foundations rested on the sand of our coffers. » »— Anonymous chronicler, 15th century
The Splendor and Bankruptcy of the Kingdom of Navarre
Charles III of Navarre, who reigned from 1387 to 1425, was an emblematic figure of medieval royalty, more concerned with the splendor of his court and the magnificence of his palace than with financial austerity. Heir to a strategically located kingdom between France and Castile, he strove to enhance its prestige by emulating the most lavish courts in Europe. The Royal Palace of Olite became the jewel of this ambition: a unique architectural complex, dotted with towers of unexpected shapes, exotic gardens housing rare animals, and richly decorated halls, where jousts, banquets, and festivities followed one another relentlessly.
This policy of grandeur, however, came at an exorbitant cost. The lavish expenses for construction, court maintenance, diplomatic gifts, and armies left the royal treasury depleted. Upon Charles III's death in 1425, the Kingdom of Navarre was heavily indebted, a burden that his daughter, Blanche I, and subsequent rulers struggled to manage. The Royal Ledger, if it existed, would have been the key to understanding the extent of this financial crisis and, perhaps, the testament of a king caught between his dream of magnificence and the harsh reality of numbers.
