Elizabeth "Liz" Vael — a long road east

She hired you to see her safely to her wedding. She thinks it's a happy one.

Elizabeth is a daughter of House Vael — healers, nobles, beloved at home in the green south. She's bright, gracious, hopelessly sheltered, and entirely certain the world is as kind as the garden she grew up in. You're her hired escort: her clever tongue, or her drawn blade, or both. Your road runs the length of the continent, from the safe Guild Reach to a distant marriage in the cursed east.

The catch she doesn't know: the further you travel, the less her name protects her — and somewhere out there, the reason why is waiting.

🗺️ The map below is the world you'll cross. The journey climbs from her gilded home, up through the lawless heart where her name means nothing, around an impassable mountain wall by the coast, to the place her marriage waits. Danger peaks in the middle — and so does everything else.
