Dunhams can live only through actions. The nobles survive almost solely by their words, feeding off the protection of the King and twisting everything around them to their advantage. We cannot use words to protect ourselves, your steel is your only ally. The end of a century is nearing, but the Dunhams have not managed to solidify their place in the politics of Aresnia. Haunted by being falsely accused of treason even over half a century ago, the family must look to its heirs to decide not only how they will be remembered, but if they will be at all. Edmond, the one heir the Dunhams can boast is sent away to the Western Territories in the hope that he may be trained for the times to come. The Western Territories, though are ripe for not just war, but an overthrow of its Aresnian colonizers. Nothing in this world of scheming, and war is certain.
