In the Kingdom of Cardonia, the echoes of eerie tales about vampires sweep through the minds of its people. The grand capital dismisses them as mere myths, while remote villages and corners of the kingdom witness mysterious deaths that leave the locals fearful and desperate. As each deceased person vanishes without a trace, society suspects an unknown plague is at play.
Amidst this turmoil, the kingdom faces a prolonged and blood-soaked war with the neighboring realm of Verentia, leaving its coffers depleted and resources exhausted. The common folk suffer the brunt of the war’s devastation, their patience wearing thin as they yearn for change.
Yet, amidst the war and the plague, a society divided by social inequality and corruption strives for power. The royal nobles revel in opulence, while the commoners languish in poverty and injustice. The corrupt apparatus of the king’s rule lacks the ability to govern justly, preoccupied with satisfying their own insatiable desires. Meanwhile, some of the nobility secretly support a contender for the throne, convinced that the current rulers ascended to power through deceit.
The intertwining of rumors about vampires, social disparity, and a ravaged kingdom fuels intrigues, secrets, and hidden alliances within the royal court. With conspiracies lurking around every corner, each faction vies for supremacy.
