This game is under development. Here's the game development page for updates!

CONTENT WARNINGS: VIOLENCE, SUGGESTIVE AND POSSIBLE SEXUAL CONTENT, LOTS OF SWEARING, PROBABLY GASLIGHTING (looking at you, Vera), POSSIBLE UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS, VIOLENCE, DESCRIPTION OF GORE, THEMES OF RACISM. Intended for an audience that is 17+ .  Read with discretion!

(A NOTE ON THE THEMES OF RACISM WARNING: I am a person of colour myself, and the discussions surrounding racism are by my non-white characters speaking about their own struggles as POC. Specifically, about them  being POC  in positions of power, and the disrespect that comes with it. This is NOT unnecessary fantasy racism written by an author who has never experienced it. I wanted to put this disclaimer, because I know seeing 'racism' as a warning is very startling.  For all my POC out there reading this, I love y'all!)

YOUR STORY

As a faering, you should want to keep to yourself.  Your home is a safe haven where your dragon kin people reside; a place of true neutrality. There are no allies to the Midlands, nor are there enemies. Your people simply are, and this will not change. 

But you were never one much for rules, were you? With whispers of a certain prince in the Northlands allegedly receiving death threats from your docile leader, Cirrus, you could only slip away into the depths of the North to go see for yourself. It's so hilariously outrageous that your peace-loving ruler has such rumours teeming about them.

You did not expect to find a bounty hunter bleeding out from her abdomen. And most of all, you did not expect her to know you by name, even through her raggedy breaths. And most of all, you did not expect her to have leads on the one you seek: the Northern Prince.

FEATURES
