Introduction
Thankfully, this new king was far less tyrant than Tuerie had been, and slowly but surely, wounds began to heal, crops began to grow, and rain washed away the red from the violets.
Thirty years have passed since the end of the Violet War, a war which desiccated the Five Kingdoms and resulted in the end of the royal Tuerie line. Now, the five remaining Great Families are at peace. Supposedly, at least. For behind veneers of amity, the most powerful families in the realm continue to play their sadistic games against each other, breaking rules as often as they set them. Old vendettas and vaulting ambitions drive intricate plots and cunning plays for power, as the Great Families attempt to spin the world to their will, writing fate as they see fit, and delivering 'justice' as they so desire.
To celebrate the thirty year anniversary since House Tuerie was overthrown and House Laurea became the reigning house of the Five Kingdoms, the heads of the four other Great Houses have been invited to attend the festivities being held in the capital city of Vale. During the 'get-together', the families are in more dangerous positions than ever before, as are those around them, with each and every person clawing to keep or improve their position, and some seeking to steal those positions for themselves.
[iT[/i]he Violet War may have ended, but the Battle of Ambition has only just begun.

King Doran, the reigning king of the Five Kingdoms and the head of the Laurea family, is married to Queen Leonora, and together, they have three children. These children are Princess (CELINE SINDEN), Crown-Prince (MAX IRONS) and Princess (CAITLIN STASEY). Although Princess (CELINE SINDEN) is the eldest of the Laurea children, it is her brother, Crown-Prince (MAX IRONS) that is to inherit the throne, as is custom for the eldest son to inherit before the eldest daughter. There is also a fourth known child of King Doran, (-). However, this child is a bastard, conceived by the king during his time spent away from home, fighting in a brief war against House Aegir. Following the death of his mother, the king shocked many by accepting the bastard into the palace, where he now resides. To add the the intrigue, no one save the queen is aware that the youngest princess, (CAITLIN STASEY), is in fact not Doran's daughter at all, but the result of a grief-sparked affair between Queen Leonora and Lord Elias of House Fiore.

After the affair, Leonora shut Elias off out of regret and fear, only to discover that she was pregnant with Elias' child. She has since passed (CAITLYN STASEY) off as Doran's child, and only the queen knows the truth. Meanwhile, Lady Verity died only a month ago from an illness that she finally succumbed to after a lifetime of battling it.
The loss of his wife has driven Elias to regret his affair more than ever before, and he has suddenly become determined to help his late wife in the only way he knows how- by ensuring their children live comfortably, happily and, most importantly, with power. Fortunately, Elias is renowned throughout the Five Kingdoms for his unmatched tactical and strategic brilliance in battle, and he has taught his children well.
The seat of Fiore is Ironhill, a fortified stronghold that neighbours the Capital, and is famously impenetrable.

The current King of Tsunseng and head of the Moon family, Hwanjin, has three concubines along with his wife, Queen Sukja. With these women, Hwanjin has five children. With Sukja, he has Crown-Prince (LEE SOO HYUK), whilst with the late Royal Noble Consort (RNC) Nari he has one son, Prince (WOO DO HWAN). With RNC Myeonsuk he has Prince (LEE DO HAN) and Princess (KANG HA NA). Finally, with RNC Kyungja he has Prince (CHA EUN WOO).
Because Tsunseng rulers have in the past been known to promote and demote heirs -something that is seldom permitted in the Mainland- rivalries, sabotage and even murder are not especially uncommon among Moon siblings. In fact, RNC Nari's passing is very much still stirring with doubt and suspicion, and many rumours surround her unexpected passing. The most prominent of these rumours is that that she died from poison rather than illness. The prime suspect in these rumours is Queen Sukja herself, in retaliation to Nari and her son's then-growing closeness to the King. Of course, this is all supposition, and one cannot know for sure.
To add to the rivalries, King Hwanjin is currently ailing from a disease which many belief will cause his death, and so he has sent his children to the festivities in his absence.
