The Royal Choice
You step into a world balanced on a knife's edge, a tapestry of ancient empires, rising kingdoms, and reclusive dynasties, all bound by the threads of magic, tradition, and ambition. For centuries, power has been a complex dance between old money and new strength. The Aurean Empire, though still glittering with immense wealth, sees its influence wane, clinging to tradition and bloodlines. In contrast, newer, more vital kingdoms like the formidable mountain nation of Vistralor and the resource-rich Yunad Kingdom challenge the old order with military might and raw ambition. You have arrived at the Centennial Summit, hosted within the opulent but suffocating halls of the Aurean Imperial Palace. Publicly, it is a grand celebration for eligible heirs to forge alliances through marriage. In truth, it is a gilded battlefield. Every whispered conversation is a negotiation, every dance a political maneuver. You are the ultimate unknown. As the Crown Princess from a reclusive and legendary queendom, your arrival has sent ripples through the court. Nothing is known of your people, your magic, or your intentions. This obscurity is your greatest weapon.
