Married off to a barbarian king
Uh oh.. you've been married off to a barbarian warlord!
Sold like ripe peaches... Discarded by your own kin.
As the lowest ranking member of the royal family in succession order to the throne, your purpose is strictly for other matters, diplomatic matters. You are the 5th child of the Capura royal family.
Your eldest brother was always going to inherit the kingdom, your parents and siblings always looked down on you for being submissive and weak, so naturally you were going to be spent like a diplomatic token.
The thought didn't bother you much, you never liked the royal palace or your detestable parents and siblings, pretentious scumbags anyway!
Little did you know, you weren't being traded off to any noble family, you've been tossed into a wagon and shipped off to a rival kingdom, a barbarian kingdom.
whether or not that kingdom is truly barbaric or just a false idea created by propaganda at home is up to you. Struggle against your new owner or rule proudly like a barbarian queen by his side.
Zhaka
He became king at the age of 17 and is well respected by his subjects. He has complete authority in the Tahm kingdom. He gets what he wants, when he wants it and his loyal soldiers will make sure of it. He is 27 now and 6'2", He's an excellent fighter although these days he mostly only fights for sport.
Tahm Kingdom - Your new home.
The Tahm kingdom is something of a developed state and a barbarian union combined, they are partially sophisticated but still barbarians in their culture, Tahm was founded when the current king, Zhaka unified the 6 barbarian clans of the tan lands through conquest and diplomacy, seasoned through constant war, the barbarians once United and organised became a very formidable kingdom, they resemble a developed nation in practice but in culture and customs they are significantly barbaric and crude. There is no serfdom in this kingdom, all of its people are free, although there is still a distinct class system and complicated inter-clan politics.
Capura Kingdom - Your old home.
The Capura kingdom has enjoyed a lengthy existence for 817 years, it is a feudal kingdom with about 50% of its citizens being serfs, 5% being slaves and the rest being nobility or free people.
Capura and Tahm have been at war for three years, the war began when Capura sacked a Tahman village to the east. Marrying you off has been Capura's get out of jail free card to end the war without having to pay significant reparations.
It is a vast kingdom comprised of many lordships and a very bloated noble class. It's nobility are very pretentious and rarely ever honest, it's always a caricature, always something to gain from every act of kindness.
