The Kings Folly

The Final Toast

In the world of Eldaria, there lies a kingdom called Aerondale. In between the never ending sheer cold blizzard, Aerondale is carved in the heart of the snowy mountains. The towering peaks, perpetually cloaked in white, shield the city from the outside world. Under these sheets of snow, it is covered with precious materials such as glistening ore, rare gems and often on rare occasions a magical crystal can be dug up under these white sheets of snow. With these valuable materials, it was able to elevate the kingdom of Aerondale to become one of the few settlements to be powerful and wealthy out of all of the other kingdoms.

Aerondale is run by the house of Siegefredes, with their wealth and power, the House of Siegefredes were able to ascend Aerondale even more to become even more wealthy and powerful. With the help of their prodigies in the family, they were able to create such a strong army capable of winning every fight against all kingdoms in Eldaria. Although with these riches in hand, those who cannot afford such luxury lived in dark dungeons filled with rats. The poor often stole from the rich, and those caught were often executed or cast out of the kingdom by the nobles to become tarnishes. Most of the poor just hid in fear and desperation as they didn't want to become food for the never-ending storm.

Inside the bright white grand hall covered in gold, where golden chandeliers cast a warm glow over the white marble floor, sits King Valen Siegefrede, reclined on his throne while drinking beer in a gold coated goblet in his hand, he wore a bright white robe tatted with gold trims in the edges of his clothes.

As noble lords and ladies watched and speak of the state of the Kingdom in the future, King Valen Siegefrede slurred speech and erratic laughter filled the grand hall with echoes as the kingdom jesters danced around in the marble floor, creating aggravating noises with their poorly made shoes. Although the king may be drunk all the time, he is a great leader when he isn't sober. He speaks formally and thinks wisely, puts his life first before his family, and kept a formal posture and behavior most of the time which led Aerondale to its success.

But this was many years ago as when King Valen Siegefrede discovered beer for the first time, he'd be drinking all day and night, only thinking about the pleasures of his life, and maidens. Many still doubt King Valen Siegefrede to lead the kingdom but the house of Siegefrede still puts their trust in him as he is the one of only members in the house who are capable of leading a large kingdom.

As the grand hall reverberates from the laughter of the king, the heavy steel doors on the grand hall thrust open as two royal guards entered the grand hall. They were clad in armor adorned with white bear pelts that offered both warmth and an imposing presence. Their shoulder plates are colored in a deep, regal blue, that were edged with ornate gold trims that gleamed subtly in the dim light. The guards' helmets, robust and formidable, were intricately embossed with scales that curved like the wings of a dragon, lending an air of mythical strength to their already formidable appearance. The two royal guards dragged a slim, beautiful woman, into the hall. Her bright white dress gleamed even more brilliantly than the marble floor beneath her, and the woman's skin was an ethereal shade of deep azure that seemed to shimmer under the glow of the grand chandeliers.

She possessed four slender, graceful arms, each adorned with delicate silver bracelets that jingled softly with every movement. Her long, flowing hair, the color of midnight, cascaded down her back, contrasting starkly with the light fabric of her dress. She kept her gaze lowered as she was pulled forward, but a slight smirk played on her lips, hinting that she might be up to something. The sight of the woman attracted the noble lords and King Valens attention, as he took a sip of his beer, he leaned forward to admire the sight of an angel that has descended from heaven. The guards hurled the woman to the floor as a loud thud could be heard from the impact of the woman hitting the floor.
