We started writing out story ideas. The final idea we have locked in is:

A series of families have agreed to settle a feud in a very unique way. Every 10 second sons that are born will duel each other until only one stands. That one will rule the lands until the next set of second sons comes around to make their claim. You are born as the 10th second son. This makes you the youngest when the fighting will begin when you're only 17. Will you reclaim your family's glory? Or will you fall to another hopeful in that dark arena?

It is somewhat absurd but I do like the misinterpreting of the theme. We always say we will make a story centric game in the jam but never seem to actually accomplish that goal. This time will hopefully be different and its why we started with story.
