not necessaryly needed but good to know background information for this story.

the main Character is from a Kindom called Nuelm.

Nuelm is a kindom that uses magic daily for mundane tasks.

Her mother was a refugee from the Imperium.

The Imperium imprisons and collars magic users treating them as slaves in most cases. The actual item in question that causes the enslavement is a crop that holds within it the spirit of a demon. The collar is more a symbol and a conduit for the demon to invade the mind of the enslaved.

And with that knowlegeit should make things a little easier to follow. but other tidbits of information will weed themselves out in the story itself. I cant wait to see what info you glean and if yo decide to share it with me.
