King James of Enchancia sat upon his throne, bored, listening to the villagers of Dunwitty complain about food shortages and their starving families; pleading for the use of weapons to be returned to all instead of just the royal huntsmen whom he had entrusted. Sean, a former guard at the castle, was placed in Dunwitty to supply the village with food and to keep an eye on the people. There had been rumors that he was terrorizing the village, excessively drinking and slanderously approaching their women. After his father King Rolland II was shot and stabbed to death during a festival over a year ago leaving sixteen year old James to rule the kingdom he didn't trust any of them and they deserved what they got.

In James's opinion his father had been too easy on people who never truly appreciated him. They were nothing but spoiled ungrateful children who expected James to treat them kindly after they murdered his Father. The villagers were never hungry or sick during King Rolland II's reign thanks to a protection spell his royal sorcerer Cedric cast not to mention Roland granted every request they brought to him no matter how trivial it seemed. If care and compassion wasn't enough to earn respect and love from his kingdom James knew he needed to be a strict ruler.

Many of the villagers and the Castle staff wished that James would take a queen, someone to soften his cold heart and possibly restore order to the kingdom. Secretly James wanted the same. A wife and possibly some heirs to his throne but he was content ruling the kingdom alone and didn't need a woman to be his conscious or second guess his laws. This was HIS kingdom and it would remain that way until he saw fit to step down.

There was gossip that the fairies were becoming fed up with his behavior and were working with Cedric to conjure a spell that would make him see the errors of his ways. Unfortunately for James there was never enough proof for them to be imprisoned. The kingdom continued to suffer and King James became more and more elusive to the village until he would no longer see them when they visited the castle and they were often sent away. The servants, no longer wanting to serve a King who didn't care, left leaving only a handful of people sending the castle it's self into ruins.
