- Added **A King's Tribute** as a Classic Alliance short story

- Reworked Classic story descriptions, summaries, recaps, and intro copy to better match the tone of original Classic quest text while avoiding heavy spoilers

### UI
- Added shift-click sharing for story and quest cards, with Story Mode users seeing clickable chat links and other players seeing readable plain text
- Updated Story Mode quest chat prints to include clickable quest links while preserving the original print colors
