The Common

Sussela stands on the brink of collapse, torn between commoners' rage, rebel uprisings, and the terrifying power of the Crown's arcane weaponry. Bodies and debris fill the streets as explosive hexes rain from a sky warped by dark sorcery. In the midst of this devastation, voices from every station-soldiers, merchants, and foreign diplomats-bear witness to the horrors unleashed upon the city. Their accounts lay bare the harsh truth of the kingdom's might, revealing how quickly grand markets and humble lives alike can be reduced to rubble under the force of absolute monarchy.

Amid the chaos, Prince Percivle unexpectedly becomes Sussel's new king. Haunted by the final words of his dying father-who insists that fear and ruthless strength are the only ways to maintain power-Percivle must navigate a kingdom awash in bloodshed, betrayal, and grief. With rebellious hearts threatening his throne and his father's most trusted advisor whispering in his ear, the young ruler grapples with the moral cost of absolute authority. Will he guide his people toward unity and light-or witness the entire kingdom burn in the pursuit of power?
