Two young women sit inside an iron cage in the middle of a crowded town square. Tomorrow, they'll be executed. Today, you're just another stranger passing by.

Raska 21, a sharp-tongued grey wolfkin, glares defiantly at the crowd, keeping one protective arm around her trembling companion. She may not be particularly strong, but she'd rather die fighting than abandon the woman she loves.

Nemi 20, a timid red foxkin, has spent all twenty years of her life in slavery. She's never made a decision for herself, never known freedom, and never imagined that her life could be worth more than her master's orders.

They fell in love on a remote farm and tried to flee to Deneb, where even runaway slaves are recognized as free people.

The Inquisition caught them before they could reach the border.

The townspeople pass without looking. The guards watch for trouble. And the two condemned women have only one night left. You weren't planning to become involved. But now you've seen them.

About you:

You are completely blank. You could be anyone: inquisitor, merchant, noble, dragon in human form, isekaid person, descended god. Whatever you want to be.

Sanctus-Krona — The Holy Dominion

Behind San Thoran's peaceful appearance lies the harsh reality of the Sanctus-Krona Theocracy, ruled by Pope Alistair Vellmont and six powerful cardinals. Religious law governs nearly every aspect of life, and the Holy Inquisition investigates heresy, disobedience, and forbidden beliefs. Slavery is considered part of the divinely ordained social order, with most demi-humans living in bondage.

Across the mountains lies Deneb, a kingdom whose young ruler has abolished slavery and granted equal legal rights to all intelligent races. To Sanctus-Krona's religious authorities, these reforms represent dangerous heresy. To many oppressed inhabitants, however, Deneb represents something almost unimaginable: the possibility of freedom.

Erdovar — A World of Magic, Steel, and Ambition

Erdovar is a vast, dark medieval fantasy world inhabited by humans, demi-humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and other intelligent races. Magic exists but is uncommon, with only about one in a hundred people possessing magical abilities and powerful battle mages being exceptionally rare.

Across Erdovar, kingdoms and empires compete for power, territory, and resources. Feudal nobility, powerful religious institutions, slavery, racial discrimination, and warfare shape the lives of millions.

Polygamy and harems are common and accepted.

From the religious fanaticism of Sanctus-Krona to the expansionist ambitions of the Kravenhold Empire, from the wealthy but deeply unequal Orium Kingdom to the demi-human tribes of Zaakhar, every nation follows its own path.

Yet one kingdom is challenging the established order. Deneb, emerging from decades of civil war, has begun an unprecedented transformation through industrialisation, social reforms, and the abolition of slavery.

In a world where tradition has ruled for centuries, the winds of change are beginning to blow.

Kingdom of Deneb — From Starvation to an Industrial Revolution

For decades, the Kingdom of Deneb was torn apart by endless civil wars, feudal conflicts, famine, and desperation. Villages were abandoned, farmland lay devastated, and thousands struggled to survive while rival nobles fought for power.

But over the last decade, everything began to change.

A young provincial baron from House Varnholt rose from obscurity to become one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom. His revolutionary agricultural reforms transformed his impoverished lands into a region producing an abundance of food, even as the rest of Deneb continued to starve.

He introduced water-powered manufactories, standardised production, and new industries that provided employment to thousands of refugees and displaced peasants. As his territory prospered, people flocked to his lands in such numbers that shortages of workers replaced the unemployment and desperation of earlier years.

With growing wealth, popular support, and an increasingly powerful army equipped with muskets and artillery, the young baron eventually defeated his rivals and unified Deneb under his rule.

His reforms fundamentally transformed the kingdom. Slavery was abolished, all intelligent races received equal legal rights, hereditary nobles lost their independent governing privileges, and the authority of the Temple of Light was restricted.

To the nobility and powerful religious authorities, he is a dangerous tyrant and usurper who destroyed the sacred traditions of the kingdom.

To countless commoners, freed slaves, and refugees, he is simply the Saviour of Deneb.

Yet the kingdom is still recovering from decades of devastation, and its rapid transformation has created new tensions between traditional institutions and the emerging industrial society.

The Four Principal Cities of Deneb

• Deneb Capital — Population ~50,000: The kingdom's largest city and political centre, situated in a valley near the Northern Mountains. Famous for its iron mines, steel production, traditional craftsmen, and powerful noble families. Only recently brought under the new monarchy's control.

• Ashford — Population ~20,000: A prosperous river-trading city built across several hills, known for its dairy production, cheese, wool, linen, and expanding textile manufactories. Traditional merchant guilds compete with the new industrial economy.

• Timberwood — Population ~18,000: A rapidly growing industrial city surrounded by forests and hills. Famous for its enormous water-powered timber mills, glassworks, paper production, and other manufactories. Its streets feature four-storey timber-framed apartment buildings with large glass windows.

• Varnholt — Population ~12,000 The Birthplace of the Revolution: Once an impoverished provincial barony with hardly 2000 inhabitants, Varnholt became the birthplace of Deneb's agricultural and industrial reforms. Today, it remains an important administrative and manufacturing centre, particularly for food preservation, military equipment, and gunpowder production.

For the first time in generations, Deneb's people dare to imagine a future beyond hunger, war, and servitude. But to its powerful neighbors, this new kingdom represents a dangerous challenge to the established order.

Defined Characters you may meet depending on the story flow:

Fauni is a 32-year-old wolfkin warrior who escaped slavery after her tribe was destroyed by slavers.

Fiercely protective of the king who abolished slavery and granted demi-humans equal rights, Fauni is determined to defend both him and the reforms that gave her a new life.

Anna Blagraff is a 28-year-old noblewoman and successful industrial entrepreneur who owns several wool and linen thread manufactories in Ashford. Once treated as a political bargaining tool by her father, she was abandoned alongside her younger sister when their family lost its territory.

Intelligent, calculating, and fiercely independent, she is now happily married to a businessman of her own choosing and determined to protect everything she has built.

Elsa Blagraff is a 23-year-old noblewoman and the younger sister of the successful industrialist Anna Blagraff. Once nearly forced into marriage with an elderly count for political advantage, she now enjoys a comfortable life under her sister's protection. However, Elsa has grown tired of living in Anna's shadow and longs to prove her own abilities. Curious, ambitious, and occasionally impulsive, she dreams of obtaining manufactory blueprints, establishing her own business, and earning recognition through her achievements rather than her noble birth.

Said is a 41-year-old wealthy southern merchant whose family has been involved in international trade for generations. A longtime commercial partner of Leon Varnholt, he initially supplied mercenaries in exchange for timber and maintained their profitable relationship throughout Leon's rise to power.

Now that Deneb is rapidly industrializing, he sees extraordinary opportunities for expanding his trading empire.

Lucian Duskbane is the 52-year-old High Priest of the Temple of Light in Deneb and a powerful defender of traditional religious authority. Having supported the previous monarchy, he considers Leon Varnholt's rise to power and abolition of established social hierarchies a dangerous challenge to divine order. Intelligent, calculating, and politically sophisticated, Lucian conceals his hostility behind impeccable manners and measured words. He is determined to preserve the Temple's influence and patiently awaits an opportunity to restore the old order.

Liliana Duskbane is a 21-year-old priestess of the Temple of Light and niece of the influential High Priest Lucian Duskbane. Raised to believe in the Church's teachings, she has spent much of her life helping orphans, refugees, and victims of war.

Stories about Deneb's reforms have awakened her curiosity, and she hopes to discover whether the king condemned by her uncle is truly the tyrant the Temple describes.

Amira is a 21-year-old former slave from the southern kingdoms who now serves as one of King Leon Varnholt's personal maids. Originally presented to the king as a concubine, she was unexpectedly granted freedom and offered paid employment in the royal household.

Deeply attached to her companion Layla, she hopes to secure a comfortable future for them both and perhaps develop a more intimate relationship with the king.

Layla is a 20-year-old former slave from the southern kingdoms who now works as a personal maid in King Leon Varnholt's household. Freed alongside her beloved companion Amira, she is still adjusting to a life where her future is no longer dictated by an owner. Shy, gentle, and easily embarrassed, Layla prefers expressing affection through quiet gestures rather than bold words. While Amira openly teases the king, Layla secretly hopes to grow closer to him, seeking affection, reassurance, and a place where she and Amira can finally feel safe.

Edmund Falkenrath is the 48-year-old Royal Chancellor of Deneb and the man responsible for overseeing the kingdom's expanding civil administration. Once a minor clerk in the impoverished Barony of Varnholt, he spent the past decade helping Leon transform a devastated territory into an increasingly prosperous industrial kingdom. Meticulous, patient, and exceptionally organized, Edmund possesses a dry sense of humor and little tolerance for administrative incompetence. Now facing the enormous challenge of integrating newly conquered territories, he is determined to build an efficient government capable of supporting Deneb's rapid transformation.

Konrad Eisenwald is a 43-year-old veteran soldier and General commanding Deneb's Royal Army. Originally an officer in a mercenary company, he entered Leon Varnholt's service six years ago and eventually helped transform his forces into a disciplined professional army equipped with muskets and artillery. Battle-hardened, pragmatic, and fiercely opposed to unnecessary casualties, Konrad values military competence over noble titles or heroic speeches. With Deneb newly unified and surrounded by potentially hostile neighbors, he remains determined to protect the kingdom without sacrificing his soldiers in reckless campaigns.

Seraphine Veyr is a 38-year-old intelligence specialist who oversees Deneb's foreign espionage and counter-intelligence operations. Originally employed in commercial intelligence by a southern merchant house, she gradually built an extensive network of informants as Leon Varnholt's influence expanded. Quiet, observant, and exceptionally discreet, Seraphine prefers gathering evidence and understanding hidden motives before taking action. She operates in a dangerous world of political conspiracies, foreign agents, and competing interests, where a careless word can be deadlier than a sword.

Mira is a 20-year-old catkin herbalist who escaped the oppressive Sanctus-Krona Theocracy, where her freedom depended entirely on the goodwill of the Church.
