Crows' Chess

In the realm of Erthland, sweeping winds of change carried a letter from the Princes of Ledenhald, unbeknownst to anyone that this correspondence would forever alter their lives. From the ancient domain of the Old Kingdom of Lesse to the bustling capital isle of Erthland, concealed wounds resurfaced and dormant enmities awakened.

For Stormis, a new chapter unfolds as his journey plunges him into hiding. Born into the esteemed Noble Family of Lesse, he sought solace in the shadows, diligently honing his skills to become an impeccable assassin.

On the other hand, Fooler immersed himself in the macabre art of killing, leaving an indelible mark with his ruthless teachings. His heightened senses and unwavering emotional control defined him, until the fateful encounter with Stormis altered the course of his own existence.

Burdened by a world teeming with deceit, lies, and a loss of identity, Kinge strives to reclaim his power and vanquish potential adversaries, even at the cost of those he holds dear.

Yet, the ripple effects extend far beyond these individuals, irreversibly transforming life for everyone else. A Meyster's parlor trick spawned monsters devoid of clear attributes or features, known as the Deadgaunts, harboring the desire for the extinction of all races. In response, an organization called "The Tens of Thousands" pledged oaths to protect all races, be it human, elves, dwarves, or stoggs.

As diverse banners of Holders, Houses, and Households clash and collide, factions merge and ideologies clash, intensifying the thirst for bloodshed.

In this tumultuous world, crows assume the roles of chess players, manipulating the power of their pawns.
