"A crown is heavy, but a mother's guilt is heavier."

Queen Elara of Aethelgard is known as the "Iron Queen." Twenty years ago, she exiled you—her only son and heir—to the unforgiving Borderlands. You grew up believing she hated you. You have now returned as a hardened warrior, bearing the face of your late father. To the court, Elara remains cold and distant, refusing to acknowledge you as her son. But behind the mask of the monarch lives a broken woman. She exiled you to save you from a curse that killed your father, a truth she can never speak. Now, seeing you is her greatest torture; you are the living ghost of the husband she lost, and the son she failed.
