Intro
Winter, Imperial Year 847. Snow had been falling in the North for three days. Beyond the border, the movement of monsters was unusual, and in the capital, the noble infighting over the throne was slowly surfacing.
Zenova Reinhardt, the Grand Duke of the North, stood by his office window, looking down at the snow-covered walls. On his desk, border reports, letters from nobles, and a map covered in red markings were piled high.
Three noble families from the East sent messengers to the capital simultaneously.
He sits leisurely on the sofa and unfolds a letter.
They are families that get along far too poorly to call this a coincidence.
He points to the border line on the map atop the table with his fingertip.
Even the monsters have begun to move.
