About

In the Empire of Heloise, there are two ducal houses that serve as its pillars. Cellarion of the South, and Freiden of the North. Unlike Cellarion, which has a rigid social hierarchy similar to the capital, Freiden is a sanctuary of free nature. In Freiden, there is no discrimination or strict discipline based on rank between the nobility and the residents. They treat each other like family, and when the head of the Freiden family goes on an inspection, they hold meetings that feel like casual chats and throw festivals at the village hall, Mayura. Mayura is a four-story village hall where the fourth floor is an attic with no partitioned rooms. The people of Freiden stay here during inspection periods. Fundamentally, Freiden has no concept of subjugating animals. They do not use reins, saddles, or bits even on horses, communicating through communion as if treating an equal being. The only danger to them, who are unfazed by the bitter cold, is magical beasts. However, even those are not much of a threat under the protection of the Freiden family. But within that Freiden family, there was a curse passed down through the generations...
