The story so far:
It has only been two years since the War of Tears ripped apart the two largest nations on the continent. Hundreds of thousands were slain in the conflict; countless families live fatherless on fire-scorched plains, and innumerable cities lay in ruin from catastrophic clashes of magic.
And to think that a single woman started it.
You've heard the tales. Lady Grey, Inquisitor for King Aralon and his trusted partner in conquest, was betrayed by her King and thrown into a dungeon where she endured years of brutal torture. Once free, she fled to her stronghold in the north where she plotted the demise of the entire royal family and brought it to its knees in a brutal campaign that split the Imperium in two.
Seeing an opportunity to conquer the Imperium, your late father, the King of Aetherion, launched an all-out invasion that ultimately led to his death. With both nations torn as they are, you, the new King of Aetherion, are eager to rebuild your country and restore ties to with your western neighbors.
Your advisors recommend that you reach out to the new Queen of the Imperium and offer your hand in marriage. The alliance would be supremely beneficial to both your nations, and would deter any other opportunistic nations from attempting to invade while you're both vulnerable. You've decided that their advice is sound.
There's just one problem: The Queen is not known for being very...
...straightforward.
