A civilization bred for war is bound to have civil issues, though the biggest are the uprisings against Queen Hippolyta. There are Amazons who are tired of living under the same laws and our wanting immediate change, although there are some who stand by their Queen and will enforce the current ways of the Amazonian lifestyle. Queen Hippolyta believes that the traditions of the Amazons should remain unchanged since the Empire has lived for centuries living by them. Hippolyta and some of the royal family believes there is no need for change, if the Empire has been so succuessful. Although, the rebels do not see things the same way Queen Hippolyta does. Some feel as if Hippolyta is unfit as Queen and that the Amazons have lost their way as a great empire to be feared. The only way to usurp a Queen is through a public battle in the arena, though many are not brave enough to challenge Hippolyta. Although, there are other ways to make a Queen lose her crown. You must expose her secrets. Will this bring a civil war among the Amazons or can common ground be found between these two opposing sides?

Eliora May, a lifetime citizen of Maplemaw, is something many women are not. Literate. An activist. But these become hard to complete as all is stripped away from her with the coming of unexpected news. Marriage and war between the faeires and elves of Ilkaphene. A land of magic, where flowers and fungi grow as tall as their castles. Where forest creatures live in harmony. A land of peace. A land where a fairy married an elf. A fairy princess marrying an elf princess at that. Eliora begins to hear rumors of the war. How it was destroying an ethereal land. And, worst of all, how women were being silenced to prevent more "corruption". As the war and its standards begin to seep into Elvangmort, changing Eliora's home into one of constrictions, hushed whispers, and worst of all, a hatred toward women, she knows that she must do something to save her freedom and the freedoms of those around her. *** This is my submission for ONC 2025!
