***Rebooting***
Quick run down:
The King of Kaldera has fallen ill, under the influence of a mysterious disease that keeps him comatose. The queen consort (second queen of King Balric) assumes the throne was queen-regent and blames Balric's only child, the princess Clare, of poisoning her father.
Behind the scenes the queen regent has been gathering strength and support from the lords and their bannermen creating a divison between Lords and Ladies that would see the queen sit the throne and the rightful heir, the princess.
Allies of Clare and the King flee the capital city of Deepcrest under the command of Knight Marshal of the realm, Tullius Augustus. His forces retreat into Kaldera's satellite state of Valarius and begin the process of arming and strategizing.
Meanwhile Knight Captain of the king's royal guard, Cauldwyn D'saan quits the capital with a small band of trusted guards and knights under his command to fetch the Princess from her secluded studies of the ancient arts in a tucked away Monastery and whisk her away before the Queen's men could get to her first.
This Monastery being on the opposite side of the country as Tullius's rebel forces, forcing them to flee to nearby kingdom of Garanore ruled over by their king Erland Crowley. She goes to secure a military alliance to bolster Tullius's forces, possibly through a political marriage.
Cauldwyn and co. are current en-route to Garanore and run into the fleeing party of the Ashenmore ambassador in Kaldera, Leona. She has pledged the support of her matriarch and queen, Asilith Miriel.
