Dance of the Fire | Blood and Thunder #1

Year 258. The Kingdom of Leornia stands powerful beneath crimson banners, but peace has never lasted long in Lyann history.

King Oceanus Lyann sits upon the throne of Creon, ruling from the Crimson Keep in Leornia. Clinging to its west, after recovering from the war with their neighbours in east. One marriage that ended the war, between the west, House Lyann, and the east, House Quiror.

At court, rivalries grow between princes and princesses, noble houses whisper behind closed doors, and alliances shift with every feast and marriage. In ports, pirates sail beneath foreign banners. In the north, old powers watch carefully. Across the empire, ambitious men dream dangerous dreams.

House Lyann has ruled for centuries and believes itself chosen above all others with their right of conquest. The conquest brought the empire, the rebellion left the west alone.

History repeatedly proves one thing.

The greatest threat to House Lyann has rarely come from beyond its borders.

It usually comes from House Lyann itself.

A political gothic fantasy.
