Pandora is one of the last of a legendary race. Her kind lived hidden in the mountains for generations, but it did not last. An evil discovers them, killing all but a scattered few. She and a small band of others set out in hopes to find a safe haven with old allies of their kind, but things are very different now than they were in the tales of old.
Ruive is the last one. The last one of a legendary race, she was a dying breed. The ability to keep a promise had been nigh impossible; she failed her parents, her sister, and the dwarf she loved. But now, the last chance she has to uphold her word is all she had left to fight for. The heir to Isildur now under her care until a crown sits upon his head, by dying request of the man who had been like a father to her. With walls built high and reinforced by the pain of the past, Ruive was ready to face anything the world dare throw at her. Anything but love.
