OPEN-ENDED POV

Beatrice is a kind and gentle soul, but the family she was born into was the opposite. From a young age, she was forced into becoming a legionnaire within the Iron Legion instead of pursing her goals of being a poet and singer. Eventually, a mission led her to a cursed mountain that makes you forget things. There she wanders, her memories stolen, her sense of time out of kilter, with nothing but a pointless mission and her goals.

A poet and singer at heart forced into becoming a legionnaire within the Iron Legion. She was born into a family cut from the same cloth soldiers are made from—yet she herself was never like that. Nevertheless, her parents didn't care. If she was born into that family, she will be like that family.

But the curse made her forget everything. Everything except her mission, poetry, and song.

Its lands are as diverse as the people who inhabit them—ranging from thriving centers of civilization to wild frontiers where the old world still lingers untouched. Trade caravans, wandering knights, scholars, and adventurers constantly move between its realms, carrying stories, sec
