A/N: Hello everyone, this fic is entirely AU (alternative universe). As such, if there is any confusion, don't hesitate to point it out.
Orea was a war-torn land. There were always struggles between the four mighty kingdoms. The land has finally found peace after the bloodiest war in its history. A peace treaty was written between the warring factions and each kingdom were now licking their wounds. Whether this treaty was fair or not, no one knew, but what was known was that the kingdom of Euphonia would have trampled any opposition with her ally Mirunar.
Euphonia was the northernmost kingdom of Orea. Ruled by the demi-goddess Hylia, the kingdom was very successful and peaceful. Its success could also be allotted to the fact that the land was lush and beautiful containing anything that its citizens would have needed. Hylia was a fair ruler, but was unconcerned for the people outside her domain including her allies. But this didn't bother Hylia or her subjects because their country was isolated from the other four. The mountain range of Zhetur divided the entire continent in half protecting Euphonia from the other kingdoms especially the Kingdom of Agarcaea.
Agarcaea was directly south of Euphonia. It was ruled by the Demon King Demise and was crime-free. This was because the smallest misdemeanor would result in a cruel punishment. Other than this the citizens lived a peaceful life (as long as King Demise doesn't start another war with Euphonia). Demise and many of the citizens of Agarcaea felt as though the land was stolen from them, so tensions were high when the treaty was signed giving a portion of land at their northwestern edge to the Kingdom of Eberene.
Eberene was the only break in the mountain range of Zhetur besides the narrow Valley of the Heroes. It was a thin kingdom spanning from north to south rather than east to west. Eberene was ruled by the King of the Twili, Zant. Zant was losing his grip on reality though none in that kingdom would say it to each other or those of the other kingdoms. Even though Zant was the face of the kingdom all the decisions were made by Lady Tifunee. However not all decisions were made by Lady Tifunee, such as the idea to enter the previous war. Zant had sided with Agarcaea and only Tifunee's diplomatic powers kept the small kingdom from becoming a fief under Hylia. Lady Tifunee would have sided with Hylia like the Kingdom of Mirunar, but that was the past and she was willing to let it slide. Soon though, it would be time to overthrow Zant and she would be the one to get the power.
The Kingdom of Mirunar was on the eastern coast of Orea. It was a fairly large kingdom larger than Eberene, but smaller than either Agarcaea and Euphonia. Mirunar had suffered many casualties in the war due to the proximity to Agarcaea. The ruler Lord Merek was focused on healing his country and creating defenses from future attack.
However, this relative peace that each kingdom felt has begun to crack. Tensions have arise again and to prevent an all out war like the previous the rulers from all four kingdoms have gathered with their closest advisors.
