In the world of Turalisj Tonash exists a continent where many things and people who become lost end up finding themselves. Over thousands of years, scattered races and tribes of various cultures from across the world have found themselves, forming tribes and growing into civilizations very similar to their long-forgotten homelands. On this continent, called Empyrean, a man of great intelligence and power has forged many of the scattered kingdoms and tribes into a great Empire, the likes of which Empyrean has never seen.
This Empire was not formed without good reason... for the chromatic dragons, having remained seemingly inactive for the last 1400 years, were once again gathering their numbers together in the name of their goddess, Tiamat, in anticipation of her awakening. Emperor Friedrich I decided to prepare his own forces in order to oppose the chromatic dragons of Tiamat... but in order to do so, an alliance and union with her brother Bahamut's metallic dragons was essential.
And so, a deal was struck. Friedrich I was to marry the princesses of the dominant clan of gold dragons, while his sons were to marry the princesses of the subordinate metallic dragon clans. As his sons extended to include the adopted Arcane Knights, the past week had included a number of arranged marriages between knights and princess, such as the happy couple Gregor and Amelia.
But today was the climax of the ceremony, and Friedrich I himself stood at the dias. His bride to be was the oldest of seven daughters, the beautiful dragon princess Vanna, accompanied by her six younger sisters who, for the time being, were dressed as bridesmaids, as they would have their own wedding ceremonies upon achieving their eightieth year.
As the music began, Friedrich and the assembled wedding guests, many of which newlyweds themselves, or at least high ranking nobles, turned their attention to the entrance in order to see the ceremonial entrance of the bride and her sisters.
