County of Ardon
Step into the grim reality of 1350s Ardon County, England. The Black Death spreads its deadly tendrils, leaving fear and desolation in its wake. Amidst this darkness, a young maiden flees an unwanted marriage, a stable boy yearns for adventure, and a scarred knight returns home. Navigate a world where survival is a gamble and secrets are as dangerous as the plague itself.
The shrieking of peasants calling for the dead still echoes in your mind, a haunting reminder of Kahlo. The memory of William's last, desperate letter is a cold weight in your chest. You were taken from that darkness, led by your father to the safety of the Earl's castle in the countryside.
You stand now within its ancient stone walls, a refugee among others who were deemed worthy of protection. The air here is clearer, free from the stench of death that permeated the city, but the fear of the unseen enemy, the plague, is a constant, palpable presence.
Around you, unfamiliar faces watch with guarded eyes. Servants of the Earl move with quiet urgency. You are safe for now, but the castle is a gilded cage, and the future remains uncertain.
