This RPG takes place approximately 300 years after the reign of Roald II and Shinkokami. Since then, Tortall has remained the most prominent power in the Eastern Lands and alongside with its Yamani allies, has advanced in technology and begun to explore the distant shores of the Western Reaches.
In 703 HE, King Artagan II––the last living male descendant and heir of the Conté line––died and the throne was thrust upon the head of his eldest daughter, Amedessa Elestra. Although not shy of female figures taking charge, not all in Tortall are comfortable with being ruled by a queen and some are concerned about to whom the Crown will go to next. The nobility in Corus are especially worried about the condition of Tortall as a state, under and after Amedessa's reign. If she fails to produce or choose an adequate heir, Tortall could endure a bloody revolution like that of its neighbour, Tusaine, in which the royalty and aristocracy were mercilessly executed by the common people.
The year is 713HE and news has just reached Queen Amedessa that Carthaki ships have sacked Port Nanauat on the island Nezahua––a Tortallan possession in the Western Reaches. The Carthakis have not only blockaded the port, but they have taken Governor Garrett prisoner and threaten to kill both him and the citizens of Nanauat if she refuses Carthak possession of the island. If Amedessa consents to Carthaki possession of Nezahua, she will be seen as weak; if she allows Garrett and the people of Nanauat to be killed, she will be seen as merciless; but can Tortall really afford to go to war...?
