In the lands of Hymnascal, peace reigned durning the ruling of the King Aminan the last in a long lineage of kings ruling back before time counted. Boasting the greatest combination of power and wealth, he ruled his subjects with a strong hand and stubborn ideals, guiding those who fell under his protection. His people even claimed the old king blessed by God, chosen to be the protector of all.
Of course, he was not lacking in enemies, from those who’s lands he had liberated, and the people he had restored of their sinful ways to the righteousness of the lords guiding light under his tutelage. Not all were pleased with his ways, but those voices were frail against his might and praise. To the world at large, the kingdom was untouchable, and none sane would dare go against the king and his family line, less they fall to his might and wealth.
Though, not all men were sane during this time, as even with his reign, bandits and madmen still roamed the roads, picked up by deserters and those who had lost all in the never-ending lust of the king to gain more power and lands. One such man, having been lost to the ages, took his revenge, bringing with him magic from the east to conquer the lands. He brought with him the sun in his hands, and thunder at his fingertips, taking down the kings and taking over the castle within months, an unheard of feat as more deserters and unstable men joined him. All of the Royal lines were killed, the righteous rulers and men beheaded for their resistance, showing the greed and lust in his eyes.
Thus was the rise of the Usurper king, Sinal Balaser.
For 8 years he ruled, raping the lands for its gold and needs, amasing power to hold up in his castle, looming like the reapers sickle above the peoples hands. Even more cowered in fear, old allies having all but deserted the people, locking away their support and power as he raised those who even hinted at his insanity, and even more the people who dared speak against him.
Though, on the 7th anniversary of the Aminans death, a point of hope shines in people's eyes. Hidden away for years, the last remaining lineage of the late king, has been shown. Princess Diana, born to the Royal mistress, is the last hope of restoring the old royalty to power. With that news, the people stirred, grasping for the peace that once covered the lands, to end the reign of a mad man and his ungodly powers. She is like a pyre to all, a chance for old Allies to claim power once gone, and people able to vie for the throne.
But even the kingdom has secrets, as even now, royal blood flows through the castle, people and pieces moving to overthrow the Usurper king, many blades drawn and pointed to several targets, though none shown in light.
