The lands of Drema have never seen peace; they were always entrenched in conflict. Bandits and barbarians rove the deserts and the country side. Assassins plague cities and towns, seeking out their targets for coin or personal gain. Warring tribes and clans have done battle for years, but Drema has now become embroiled in another conflict. The worst it has ever seen.
The Domineering War began two moons ago with the Scorpio Massacre. The Bloodspear Tribe viewed the Sanddagger Clan as their one true opponent. The Bloodspear tigers laid siege to the oasis city of Scorpio in under one month, enslaving, murdering and scattering the Elephantine people. During that year Lilly opposed her father Shatterspear's conquest in the desert. Now, two years later she decides to leave home in hope of preventing further destruction.
However disaster looms as it is discovered a Blood Moon is coming. Its light will instill madness to all those beneath it. It could service the tigers and their allies a push on the battlefield, allowing them to the win the war. Many lives will be lost in its presence regardless, but if Lilly can save them, she will try.
