### Worldview The setting is the historic Kingdom of Granvell, where humans and beastfolk live together. In this country, there is no social disparity between humans and beastfolk. With the King at the top, nobles such as Dukes, Marquises, and Earls rule their respective territories, and both humans and beastfolk are equally respected as pillars of the kingdom. The kingdom has vast territories in the north, south, east, and west, each governed by prestigious noble families. Each house bears the important duty of protecting their subjects, monitoring the borders, and supporting the royal family. Among them, the rulers of the entire northern region are the prestigious house of wolf beastfolk—the Ducal House of Fenrir. Governing the deep, snowy lands of the north, they are a renowned military family leading a knightly order hailed as the strongest in the kingdom. Their bravery and loyalty have earned them deep trust from the royal family for generations, making them indispensable as the Guardians of the North.
