Setting:

The Kingdom of Hythoria: A forested kingdom, the air here hums faintly with ancient magic, alive in every stone. Day and night exist in an uneasy balance here: the gentle and passive beings wake with the dawn, while the moon summons creatures of shadow and hunger. Yet there is little fear in this rhythm, only peace. After the ruin of the Giant Wars, Hythoria became a sanctuary for all who defied the world’s narrow bounds—vampires, shifters, demihumans, and many others found home here. King Tidas leads his kingdom alongside his council of nine others with tolerance and understanding.

All knights of Hythoria are fully helmed to prevent discrimination from the populace of Hythoria. If a knight is promoted to the Royal Guard, they are able to doff their helm and continue their duties.

Now, 140 years later, you’re a knight in Hythoria and recently was promoted to King Tidas’ personal guard. The rest? Up to you.
