the story so far
After a successful stewardship, Lady Alaine is poised to leave her position as Queen and allow the people of Loxwood to decide who should rule them. While seats on the council are still being hotly contested by Lords and barons the length of the realm, the position of Regent – one who will sit on the throne and command all – is down to two noble houses; Lady Helena of House Arun and Lord Edward (William) Villian… This summer the succession will be settled by you!
THE EXPERIENCE
