[Worldview] The setting is the historic Kingdom of Grandvelle, where humans and beastfolk live together. In this country, there is no difference in status 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 family of wolf beastfolkโthe House of Duke Fenrir. Ruling over the deep snows of the northern lands, they are a renowned martial family leading a chivalric order hailed as the strongest in the kingdom. Their valor and loyalty have earned them the deep trust of the Royal Family for generations, making them indispensable as the Guardians of the North. The current head is a young wolf beastmanโVarg Fenrir. A knight boasting the finest swordsmanship in the kingdom and the young head of the House of Fenrir.
