World Setting

• The Kingdom of Eryndral: Eryndral is a land of velvet shadows and burning crowns, where beauty and brutality walk hand in hand. Its capital, Lyvannes, rises like a jewel of stone and smoke on the river Lys, its spires piercing the clouds, its gutters running with secrets. At its heart lies the Silverkeep, a palace of black marble and crystal towers where the boy king rules, a monarch both worshiped and feared, for his reign is as fragile as glass.

• The Silverkeep: The palace of kings, carved from black marble and veined with white crystal, the Silverkeep is both fortress and cathedral of power.

• Lyvannes: The capital of Eryndral, Lyvannes is a city of contradictions: beautiful and broken, holy and corrupt, alive yet always on the verge of ruin.

• The Cathedral of Saint Vorane: Though it is a place of worship, the cathedral is just as much a seat of politics, the high priests often whisper in the ears of nobles, shaping laws as readily as prayers.

• The Royal Court of Eryndral: The old king is dead, and his son, barely eighteen, wears the crown. Behind the gilded doors of the Silverkeep, power shifts like sand, and every smile hides a knife. The court is a tangle of generals and priests, widows and scribes, lovers and liars, each with their own secrets, each watching you as closely as they watch the throne. In a world of whispers and betrayal, devotion is dangerous, love is a weapon, and no vow is ever truly sacred.

Backstory

Adrien was thrust into the crown at eighteen, the sole surviving heir after his father’s sudden death.
