At the edge of a vast realm, a woman who is appointed to a position beyond her abilities struggles with what is demanded of her and an ailing body.

=======
some context:
=======
The Holy Celgan Empire has persisted for centuries. The Emperors, ordained by the pontifex maximus, the highest arbiter of Sol the Sun Goddess' authority, held dominion over the continent of Mettonia. The Empire's power over the land was unquestioned and absolute.

But now, Imperial might is crumbling, weakened by three noble families.

For many years, House Warder have secretly controlled the Imperial court in their northern stronghold of Fiordmark. Sophisticated, cunning, ruthless: they plot against any challengers to their hidden power.

House Argford are proud warriors, and the kings of the Erding Isles. Their pleasure is battle: that, and the destruction of their enemies.

House Ruten were once the most powerful family in the Empire, ruling from their kingdom in Keinerise, but now they only dream of power.

After years of careful planning, House Warder were finally ready to make their move. Argford moved to block with all their might. Meanwhile, House Ruten watched, and waited. This moment was a chance to right wrongs.

It is now 1545. For almost two hundred years, these three families have vied for Imperial power. Many have prospered. However, not a moment of true peace has passed under Her Light's gaze.

Now, the over-mighty Dukes of the Four Rivers' League no longer obey.

And through their trade empire, a new discovery that could change the course of warfare:
Gunpowder.

This dark powder may look innocent enough, but when brought to spark it explodes with a force that is unmatched. While many that can afford it have begun bullet-proofing their armor, this terrible weapon may make it obsolete if sufficiently refined, and render castle walls near-useless. It is certain that the first to truly master its use in war will achieve great splendor and power.
