King Amongst Us:King Stones

The world of the Four Kingdoms — Luganor, Tolan, Kaharu, and Ganalor — had stood for centuries on the slippery ground between peace and war. Borders shifted as the ambitions of rulers shifted, and the people remembered more conquered lands than peaceful years. Yet a fragile balance endured, held together by ancient oaths, trade, and the unspoken fear of long-forgotten powers. Long ago, farther back than any song remembers, humans possessed a power they never fully understood — stones capable of shaping the fate of the world. Some claimed they were gifts from the gods, others that they were a curse born from the heart of the earth. And still others believed the kingdoms survived only because the stones vanished, scattered or hidden far from the hands of those who would misuse them. Although many consider these to be mere legends, there are those who whisper that old traces are resurfacing once more. That the winds carry tales of things that ought to be dead. That the kingdoms have begun watching one another over drawn blades again — but this time, because of something older than politics. In such a world, where shadows stretch longer than men and where truth mingles with fear, a handful of warriors, princes, and captains will soon be forced to play their parts. Some will defend their homeland. Some will follow honor. Some will seek the truth. And some may, perhaps unknowingly, touch forces that once nearly destroyed the world. For the great upheaval is only beginning. And when the past awakens — the fate of the kingdoms will no longer rest in the hands of those who rule, but in the hands of those who survive.
