Witch-Queen: Fantasy

In the countryside, most people know where to find the witch-queen of their district. She'll live in an isolated manor house, and she'll wear old-fashioned clothes, full-length dresses and cloaks, and she'll always be terribly gracious, but she keeps to herself. If you need to find her, you may have to pass through a maze or do favors for creatures in need of help who turn out to be critical to your success. In this city, you have to find your way through filthy sewers and abandoned factories, looking intently at every bag lady until you find the one who wears a crown. The bag ladies have figured this out, and some of them wear circlets just to mess with you, so you have to find the one who wears the *right* crown. Once you do, give her roses and a newspaper from tomorrow and she'll bless you--

Story Potential: High?
Notes: I'm not sure if the story itself would be that great, but I do love this opening.
