For a time, the Kingdom of Cyron existed in a state of peace beneath the benevolent rule of King Maton Taendes II. During his reign, he ushered in an Age of Prosperity, Provinces becoming more affluent than they had ever been. Universities were erected, and trade and culture flourished. Religious tolerance became prominent, and many regions were becoming more accepting. Peace graced the people in this Era.
This was merely tentative, however, as in the Year Forty of the Era of Man, King Maton Taendes II was executed by a rebellious commoner that had placed himself amongst the servants. Although this revolutionary was expeditiously subdued and imprisoned, his uprising suppressed, the Council yet still had to scramble to fill the position. His son, Ander Taendes I, was the sole viable option, being the only living male kin of his father. Of course, he was inexperienced, being only of teenage years.
Soon, the realm descended into a state of anarchy, dubbed the Age of Wrath. Factions vied for control of the kingdom, whether once-loyal noble Houses or other syndicates. Bandit activity began to increase. Trade decreased as tensions heightened amongst the Provinces of the realm. The constructs of the Age of Prosperity began to burn to the ground, as edifices of fragmented power were raised.
Though, this tale is not of nobles or of the commoners. Rather, it is of mercenaries and treasure hunters.
Premise:
In the Kingdom of Cyron, plagued by the ides of anarchy, the economy of the realm deteriorates as the state of law does. Thusly, many must search for other methods of employment. Some attempt to maintain their businesses. Others sell themselves, whether their services, or otherwise. The most adept, however, undertake contracts of murder and treasure...
In the wake of King Maton Taendes' abdication, rumors arise of a mastermind plotting a voyage across the realm, securing treasures of the past and undertaking any contracts that they happen to encounter along their journey in the hopes of creating a treasury of funds to dwell comfortably upon. Your character, whether treasure hunter or assassin, has heard these rumors, and has endeavored to discover the truth of the matter...
