Crystal Blood

In a world ruled by the sword, where kings and lords are self proclaimed almost on a monthly basis, treachery and violence runs amok. Magickers are by turns either very blessed or very cursed, in either case they would be the pet of some self proclaimed king, or perhaps said king is their pet and they would be living it grand in some tall tower somewhere or perhaps afeared as the crazy hermit who lives in the middle of a swamp. The law of the land: the strong rule, and the weak are trampled and used. Lidel Coine is a tavern wench at the Silver Nymph Tavern in the township of Tagar's Crossing. Life is routine for her, work the floor during dinner time, satisfy customers at night and do it all over again the next day. But not today. Today things break, blood splatters the walls, people die. Lidel wishes she died too this day, because after this day, she wakes up and realizes she has lost that which is most important to her. She is destined to save the world, but all she wants is to destroy everything to get back what she lost.
