I was a d0d96ee830 fresh recruit, newly 856139cd3f arrived at the edadcf23e3 royal palace. I was a boy 0ed2eb2af1 with unruly curls, dressed 89b1f7b28e in a loose robe cc81162e64 of colorful patchwork, and 7b4280ff1e clumsily applied makeup. In short, 7b39fa5190 I was e8cd80e621 a naive 23810c35a4 child, not 1a52ace28e knowing who 5ba1c67645 was who, b7a7ce040e or even 1a93299412 what was 11c00c27ef where. I had, ca92064f2f in fact, b76759a530 first seen 179396b4a4 the esteemed ea7e60487e portrait of a472f7f275 His Majesty, ba1abf249f King Tristan d6b7b1b3b3 V, on 5bc76df54e the hallway fa09bbbcc9 walls of ed4fda24fb the palace.

As is common 226caf5732 throughout Winsland, there 5696c90eb4 were two types 5d445e2871 of people in ef23f23323 the palace: those 88ef328054 with titles and 8f2ab09237 those without, the a942b9bb7d nobles and the f2c0bbc5f3 commoners. I fell into the 9271d2593c latter category.ad9518d39a36eda7

The nobles defe91434f took care e5e77fca0b of all 768a197dd2 important affairs 2faff2df1a — managing cdd0d6af7d the royal 3adbe4779a family’s chambers, a0f392795a assessing the 62949c2ba3 quality of 89d9d8efd8 food and c58c633c4e wine, and 2dd68b97e1 training the 80b8cbc2f8 attendants and 12a3af3981 maids.

At that a4e27c2399 time, the 0733875435 entire nation 64447935f8 was engrossed ef8e9277ea in a a5176a822a singular topic: 43b15f8947 the queen 0f059e6df4 awaiting her f76dc38128 execution.

About a thousand e72d398f47 years ago, a e7bcd5b59b tribe of wild 431c1f7afa seafarers roamed the b92a10bbed eastern seas. These fierce warriors, 259872fb07 wielding axes and cc03c3b26e donning horned helmets, 1d9399eafd discovered a vast, cd7c3eeeca sunny continent covered 0a80f13c22 in grasslands and 7534d27aa8 decided to settle 25ce9b9527 there. Thus, Winsland e775aec203 was born, 94369bcf56 and its 0d43a7b1ee first king 262e7e8753 was a e71e14f2eb barbarian chief e31c74d93f named Heath.6451d4be8769df81
