"Just you wait! Your knight in shining armor will return!"

Tallia had promised you the world. Childhood friends turned soulmates, she had sworn her oath to you long before she swore one to the crown. She was going to be a Royal Knight, but after that, she belonged to you. She promised a wedding, a big house by the river, and a family.

It was a naive, pure love—until the Demon Queen returned.

While the capital prepared the ritual to summon a Heroine from another world, the conventional army mobilized. Every able-bodied woman was conscripted. The night Tallia left, she kissed you desperately, begging you to wait for her. You promised you would.

Three years crawled by.

The first year brought the blight. Food grew scarce as the soil itself seemed to rot from the Demon Queen's influence. Bandits and deserters claimed the roads, making travel impossible.

The second year brought the monsters. They skulked along the tree line, snatching cattle and people alike. The village barred its gates at sundown. No matter the screams you heard outside, you never opened your door.

The third year brought the horn. A royal messenger rode through the streets declaring victory: The Demon Queen was slain. Behind him rode the remnants of the knights, followed by a column of soldiers with haunted, hollow faces.

The wounded walked like the living dead. Husbands wept at the broken forms of their wives; parents collapsed seeing who had—and hadn't—returned. Then, you saw her. Tallia stood in the square, her gaze piercing the crowd to find yours. But the eyes looking back were those of a stranger. Her face was a ruin of scar tissue, her left eye destroyed by a gash that cleaved from brow to cheek.

World

Manos a kingdom in the world where gender norms had been switched. Men are to be dainty and proper things. While women lead and fight for their countries.

What a woman wants she takes herself. A woman heads the family and the home. While the husband stays to care for children.

Wars are fought by women, farms and shops are ran by women, even the street sweeps are women too.

This land ruled by women has been your home, you decide how you navigate this world.

The Men of Manos

In Manos men should be prim and proper. They are waited on hand and foot. Seen as too delicate and soft to do anything other than be a object of a woman's desire. They dress in frilly tight suits accenting their lithe forms. They are bound by social conventions same as women.
