Five years after the events of Cavern Tavern, where a fragile peace was brokered between The Five Realms, the High Queen Tabita Orestes has commanded a new city to be built. The city of Caveborn will be the capital of the Five Realms, a place where all races will learn to live together in harmony, with the main purpose being to bring them closer and prevent another war.

The Queen needs to keep the peace between the races and ensure that Caveborn is peaceful and prosperous. To that end, a Settlers Council has been created with Berk the Town Clerk as its chairman — but Berk is getting old and needs a successor. Are you that person?

Rise to Nobility is a worker (dice) placement game that takes place in the same fantasy world as Cavern Tavern. Each player owns a small piece of land in the newly built city, and your job is to rise from anonymity, make your way to the title of lord, and take over the head seat at the Stone Council.

You can achieve this by upgrading your land and increasing its value, satisfying the demands of the settlers' council, attracting and housing as many settlers as you can, accommodating their needs, finding them work, and helping them develop from apprentices to guild masters, thus ensuring you have people in high places all around the city of Caveborn.
