Ruled by the Quintbach family for over three hundred years, Cantovière is perceived to be a place anyone would wish to live in. Little did the people know, ever since the rule of King Valer from the sixth generation of the Quintbach bloodline, the tyranny of their family started - and it continued to exist up until its current ruler, King Dante Quintbach. Citizens are to believe that they are still living in a paradise established hundreds of years ago. They seem unsuspecting of the corruption and the suffering of the silenced people oppressed by the government for the gain of power. Some of them who do know, though, continue to turn a blind eye in fear of being punished. Cantovière's people were living in fool's paradise for decades. But, not every one of them is as ignorant and afraid as the others. Two of the largest resistances arose the following years - the Bane Federation, which seeks anarchy, and The Revolution, which seeks to dethrone the Quintbachs and bring forth a new ruler. Following the death of his sister, Astrid - the former leader of The Revolution - Waltz Baltazar believes that it isn't worth it for the group's members to risk their lives for uncertainty. Reforming the revolt for a group consisting of only five members, he seeks out to recruit the greatest of the greatest in the city. Consisting of a cunning mastermind, an empathetic charioteer, a neglected inventor, a wanted thief, and the one person least expected to join in, the five seek out to free the city from the Quintbach's grasp once and for all. _ Date Started: November 1, 2020 Date Finished:
