One hundred and fifty years have passed since the great war. For twenty years, a Council of Alkmene ruled the land in peace, before they were all victoms of brutal murder. With the old throne up for grabs again, the people failed to take the time in recreating a council, instead squabling for the crown. It seemed no one wanted to risk the mass death of rulers again...
The crown was lost though, to the king of the neighboring kingdom. Seeing the smaller kingdom in ruins without leadership, he stepped in to claim the power for himself. Under his new laws, there has been a ban on mage work, and all creatures are forbidden to walk the streets in towns. He fears these very creatures would serve to be his death.
Instead, this king brought his own creature guards into the kingdom. Creatures that walk as humans, with the pointed ears of elves, though with overly wide eyes and horns like unicorns sticking from their foreheads. These are his elite guard, known only as the Kihn-fae. Working beside them are those with wings and not horns, the ene-Fae.
Besides everything else, dwarves left the kingdom, at least that is what everyone has been told. Elves are becoming more and more withdrawn and hard to find as well. Dragons have become all but nonexistant except high in the mountains where few find them.
Life has changed in Alkmene. What will people do? Agree on a king of their own, bring back the council, drive out the foreign king, or simply continue this new way of life? Doesn't anyone remember the old ways? Doesn't anyone want to see the end of the Kihn and Ene running the streets? There is a soft rumor of some who do... will you be one of them? Will you support this new king? Or will you just try to survive?!
