A year has passed since the banners of rebellion were raised over Lichtenstein.
What began as the capture of a single city has become a struggle for the soul of Muden. The realm now stands divided. In the east, Duke Rikard Talbher still claims the ducal throne, supported by nobles who believe that tradition and law must prevail. In the west, a new banner flies above the walls of Lichtenstein, where Flynn Quaid wears the legendary Crown of Fortune—the ancient symbol said to mark the ruler destined to unite the realm in its darkest hour.
Many dismissed the prophecy as little more than an old tale. Yet over the past year, more than one lord has pledged allegiance to Flynn, convinced either by faith in the crown, by his deeds, or by the hope of a better future. Others remain steadfast in their loyalty to the Duke, unwilling to abandon the man who has ruled Muden for decades.
No great battles have been fought. Instead, the realm has endured an uneasy peace. Border skirmishes, political maneuvering, espionage, and competing claims have replaced open warfare. Every village, every merchant, and every noble household has been forced to choose a side.
During this turbulent year, another event has reshaped the political landscape. Flynn has married Lady Nacht, forging an alliance that has strengthened his claim and brought new influence to his growing court. Together they have transformed Lichtenstein from a captured city into the seat of a rival government.
Yet the question that has haunted Muden for the past year remains unanswered.
Who is the rightful ruler?
The Duke, whose authority is rooted in generations of tradition?
Or the bearer of the Crown of Fortune, whom prophecy names the Promised King?
The time for diplomacy is running out. The great lords of Muden can no longer remain undecided. Soon, the realm's fate will be determined—not by rumor or prophecy, but by the choices of those gathered in its halls.
The future of Muden begins today.
