A Symphony Before The Lonesome Hearth

In the world of Falnirest, only a single continent stands. Ruled by a single, immortal, apathetic woman. Ambrosia Nenaori. The world is small, small enough to harbor only five kingdoms. From Glossolalia, the city of the unsleeping dead, to Oantheir, the nation without magic, many kingdoms in the world stand upon the precipice of all-out war. Standing at the forefront of a coup, Alabaster, the youngest son of the previous king, has usurped the throne of Oantheir, a technologically advanced kingdom sitting in the very center of the world. His power is limited almost entirely by the nobility, yet he is the only one who can prevent the nation from falling apart. With the aid of his closest allies, his knowledge of common bestiary, and the wits he holds tightly to his chest, he might push against the nobility and prevent the coming calamity that all know is approaching fast. That is if ambition, greed, and betrayal don't tear his duties from him by force.
