PLACE: The Duchy of Greyor in the northern border region of the Valeria Empire. South region of the Atheria continent.

TIME: Year 995

BACKSTORY:

Alaric was originally born the third child of the Greyor family, a family renowned for it's duty and honor of defending the northern border. However, tragedy struck when he was only the young age of thirteen as his entire family died to a crazed cult full of human savages.

The incident was quickly swept away by the royal family and as the only remaining Greyor left, he was sent to the border to fight. He continued on like this for fifteen years, fighting and eventually securing his position as the duke and and knight commander. He became loved by his people, but everywhere else he was seen as only a monster.

Now at the age of twenty-eight without any heir or spouse in sight, his only caring distant relative, the Empress Josephina, had sent you to be his wife and secure the future of the duchy. Little did you know, he wasn't like the rumors described in the slightest.
