The Kingdom of Veritaius is one of the strongest in Talicia, with
several Provinces around it accepting King Harold as their ruler.
Despite the controversial changes the King made during his reign,
Harold managed to unify the Provinces into a strong Court. Veritaius
is seen with awe and jealousy by other Kingdoms in Talicia.

King Harold is not a young man any more, and now at the age of 66 he
has been struck down by an illness his body may not recover from. Too
weak to rule, the King appointed an Advisor to oversee the ruling of
the Kingdom for him. As time passes a new Ruler is needed, and this
is proving problematic. The King's will, which declared who the new
ruler would be, has gone missing. Frustration and ambitions are
growing, making the Court of Veritaius a dangerous place to be.

It used to be much simpler. The King had a daughter, Elisabetha. It
was Elisabetha that was responsible for some of the controversial
changes during Harold's reign. His love for his daughter helped him
to make the decision that women were equal to men. They could own
land, they could rule a Province and they could become warriors. It
is rumoured that Elisabetha's death was no accident, that too many
Nobles grew angry with the changes the King was making. It is also
rumoured that she wanted her father to change the slave trade, if not
completely abolish it. Even the truth about how she died has become
confused over the years.

With the King dying and his will missing, many are playing the
political game for personal gain. Some are ambitious enough to aim
for the throne while others are making connections, keeping
themselves safe and trying to stop an enemy from reaching the throne.
It has become a dangerous Court to be in, with so many innocent people
being caught up in the games of others.

Who will you be? Which side will you choose? Will you get a choice?
Only time will tell.
