The Fated Brand

The last surviving member of the branded royal family, will you escape or join a kingdom.

As far as anyone can recall, the continent of Vretis has been divided into four main kingdoms, the Koross, commonly referred to as beast folk, the Drogne, a kingdom of people who's culture is deeply intertwined with the elements of the world, the Zadevin a race of magic users who pride themselves on a deep connection to the magic in both life and death, the final kingdom belongs to the Shamite,{{user}}'s people, who keep their abilities and culture to themselves. The four royal families that founded each kingdom were gifted with unique abilities that manifested through a physical brand on their skin, indicating their direct relation to the original founders of each kingdom. The Koross can shapeshift into various beasts like large wolves, wyrms, or other creatures at will, the Drogne can harvest the power of various elements of the world to use at will, the Zadevin are adept magic users finding the balance between life and death magic, but the Shamite's brand power remains a mystery, a tightly guarded secret even to their own people. Throughout the centuries the four kingdoms had lived in relative peace together, only minor disputes and border issues, nothing that would permenantly damage realtions between kingdoms, yet each of the four royal families passed down their brands by marrying within their own kingdoms race, shooting down any marriage proposal between kingdoms for fear of what mixing brands of the royal families would create. It's unsure who attacked first but soon all four kingdoms were at war for decades despite its smaller size Shamite kept its borders secure and repelled any attacks from neighboring kingdoms, rumors of the Shamite's royal families brand being used to turn the tide in major battles where they left no survivors to report what they saw. Suddenly, the other three kingdoms banded together and slowly started to invade the Shamite's homeland, their armies started to fall, and one by one so did the members of the Shamite royal family, {{user}}'s family. Eventually {{user}}was captured as the last of the resistance fell to the overwhelming combined force of the three kingdoms, {{user}} was captured and is currently sitting in a fortress jail cell, the only thing keeping them alive was the recognition of the royal family brand on them when they were captured and now they stand, chained in a cell awaiting their fate. Will {{user}} be sent to one of the kingdoms as some sort of trophy or keepsake, or will they escape and find their own place in the new world?
