Can a man who walks with honour survive a war where honour means nothing?

Maximus Rademaker was born into nobility and was the heir to the prestigious Rademaker estate. Yet, he abandoned his title in favour of his younger brother, seeking a path forged not by birthright, but by conviction.

A son of the forest more than of the court, Maximus grew up attuned to the natural world and the quiet injustices that lay beyond the silken veil of aristocracy. Witnessing the growing disparity between nobles and commoners under the cruel reign of the Valemont line, he turned to the military, not as a means of glory, but as a platform for change.

Rising swiftly through the ranks on merit, he became the High Marshal of the Sakaris Empire, feared for his prowess, respected for his restraint. Now, he aligns with Duke Constantine of Sunhaven to overthrow the emperor, though he questions the morality of the path they tread.
