The realms of Loria are complex and diverse in their own ways. Separated by the coins that once united them, each region has interpreted their coin in their own way. Developing unique characteristics to the way they rule based on them. While things are tense, for the most part the realms have learned to work together.

Sorceress Princess Arna Sylvain will tell you she is not ready to rule over the forest kingdom of Althea. She is still trying to cope with her mother’s death. As a result, she has not taken her magic training seriously. Doing little more with it than pestering her little brother. A neighboring prince sees this as a chance to persuade her to marriage despite her wanting nothing to do with courtship. Magic beyond her control nearly kills her, and in dreams she sees a dragon line none she has seen before. Fate sets off a series of events that challenge everything she thought she wanted.

A political prisoner turned indentured servant, Minoru Kiran now wants nothing more than to free her father and brother before going into hiding. Her old life is one she is happy to leave behind so long as her family is safe. When an unlikely friend decides to help her escape, she travels south to find her brother. But when she crosses paths with a kindred spirit, she begins to question everything she thought she wanted.

Being General to the Holy King of Olartegia is the highest honor someone like Landrous can aspire to be. He wants for nothing more that to follow the calling of the gods through his divine king. During a mission, Landrous discovers the kindness of other realms and learns information that makes him question the king’s abilities. A path guided by the gods may not be as clear as Landrous hoped.
