Pre-Main Story Pt.1

The king of Lyrouche, Firos, and his advisors have dinner on a night like any other, unaware that one of the advisors, Sir Gerald, has betrayed him and put poison in the royal sage's drink, in preparation for the heist of the princess and the powerful crystal the sage guards. Princess Syllish of Lyrouche is kidnapped by conspirators, including Judas, to release the energy of the Empirion, a massive purple crystal, because only those with royal blood can use it and direct its strength.

The conspirators plan to overthrow the king, who they view as incompetent. However, when Syllish touches the crystal, she can't control its power, for she's too young, and a massive burst of power kills all of the conspirators and puts Syllish in a coma, turning her hair and eyes a soft, eerie purple. The royal sage's son, Pim, takes his father's place, but he is inexperienced and very young, and he is ridiculed by the court for not only being unable to cure the princess, but also for not even being capable of simple magic because he has not been trained. Pim takes this as a challenge, and becomes completely absorbed in the world of magic literature and practice.

Meanwhile, the king realizes that Pim has become so absorbed that he has ignored his physical well-being, and he enlists a prisoner of war as a slave to Pim, a native of Nykos, Lyrouche's rival country, named Bergundy. Pim is disgusted by the idea of slavery, and requests that Bergundy be dismissed, but Bergundy expresses gratitude for his freedom, and then declines it, saying that he would rather serve Pim.

Break Days

Just a quick post to tell readers that on Wednesday and Sunday, I will not be making posts. I missed Thursday this week, but that was because of an exhausting and long trip I did not know I was going to be a part of. On Wednesday I have prior engagements, and on Sunday I have time with my family that I like to spend without too much stress. So, don't worry about checking in on those days, I will not be posting anything most of the time (though there are always exceptions), although there will be times where, knowing that a different day I will be doing something else, I will post on a break day.

Weekly Unit Spotlight: Karti

Karti, the silver-haired archer, with a penchant for perfect shots. Her description: A RESERVED ARCHER KNOWN FOR KEEPING GILL COMPANY, SHE SEES HIM AS THE FATHER SHE NEVER HAD, AS HE ADOPTED HER AND TRAINED HER INTO THE ARMY AFTER NOTING HER POTENTIAL. SHE IS DETERMINED TO PROVE HERSELF AS THE GREATEST SHARPSHOOTER IN ALL OF LYROUCHE, AND SHE NEVER STOPS TRYING TO SHOW GILL WHY HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT HER.  Karti is the only archer your team has for a long time. Eventually, Cris is presented as a more unorthodox sharpshooter, and Crystal is recruited as a sniper with fairly usable bases and a very useful personal skill, but until those later chapters, Karti is your only option as an offensive bow user and is a faithful and true-to-her-class archer. The pluses of utilizing her in battle: An outlandishly high skill stat: Karti's skill growth is the most stand-out thing about her, which is quite fitting for an archer. It lies at a lofty 85%, meaning critical hits will become very fa

Weekly Country Spotlight: Kestra

Today I'm going to write on Kestra, a home to any able to afford it. It is bordering Riese, an ally, Nykos, with whom it has a mutual distaste of, Shurca, a trade partner, and Maya, a desert wasteland with little to no population. ​ Kestra is an aristocracy, and the dukes, duchesses, and councilors are extremely powerful because of the country's wealth. They do not have much of a military force, though, because most Kestrans are pacifists or value their lives over their country. This is why they are allied with Riese: Riese sends them skilled mercenaries to protect the Northern Kestran border, and in exchange, Kestra gives a large sum of money to Riese each year, like an annual mercenary fee and a payment for Riese's loyalty. It is damp and hot, which is perfect for many herbs and flowering plants. The flora that grow there are sold an an extremely high price, due to their multiple uses, such as tome page paper, medicinal use (vulneraries, elixirs, salves, etc.), and simply
