The most notable of which is the Iron Knights strange automatons with a primitive intelligence. The width of this land stretches form the Black Coast to the forest realm of the elves. To the north of it is the Obsidian Wall, and to the south the Endless Dunes.

At its center is the Is the elves most sacred ground the Grove of the Moon, where stands the temple of Lunis their goddess. The elves rely on their speed and simple forest magics to keep their cities from the Imperial armies. However, if they are successful on marrying their princess to the Imperial heir they know they can end the war.
Duran- Deep in the Endless Dunes lies this kingdom. This place is devoted to the study and development of magic. It's great glass cities glide gently around the dunes. Of all the neighboring kingdoms this is the one that has suffered the most frequent attacks by the Empire. However due to the fact that the last empress was from this kingdom it has enjoyed almost 30 years of peace.

It becomes overcast, and a short while later it begins to rain...
Victor: Victor Khan paced the Grand Hall of his fortress home. He was begining to display an unsual anxety. He knew he should have nothing to wory about but, He could not help himself, today he was going to meet the daughters of his nations traditional enemies. He had put his most trusted general, an Iron Knight known as the Judge, at the gates to welcome them to his home. He had assigned his Court Witch to the entrence hall. She was to bring the girls after their arrival to the Grand Hall. Still, even with all the preperations complete, he was concered. Maybe it had to due with the fact that he had broke with tradion in how he dressed to meet his guests. Instead of wearing the tradional dress armor, and uniform of an Imperal host he had decided to wear his favored black robes. In the end all he could do is try to relax and wait.

She adjusted her dress as she approached the gates with her favourite Courtier, who was also her best friend, if such a thing were appropriate, Rasha being the daughter of an Outcast from the Elvish people, although this had happened so long ago that she did not know the cause of her mother's punishment. In any case, that her friend should rise so far in Court, given this history, was an incredible feat, and one for which Shalendra was glad: without this good fortune, Rasha Falls would not have been permitted to accompany her to assisst with the Princess' mission: to end the war between their two nations, a war that had been going on for so long that Shalendra doubted that anyone knew how it had begun. The best outcome that could come of this visit was that she would unite the two lands with her marriage to the Prince of the Iron Empire, therefore ending the conflict before any more blood from either side was spilled. The worst outcome...she didn't want to think about...the concequences of failure just didn't bear thinking about...
They were now at the gates, where Shalendra had to force herself to stand tall, even though in her heart, she only wanted to turn around and leave this horrible place. The first thing she had noticed was what she had been told was an 'Iron Knight', a sinister contraption made of metal, but powered through an magick unknown to her race...the very thought of the sacred arts being used in such a way chilled her to the core...Still, she held herself as she had been taught: back straight, eyes forward, every inch a future Queen of Lunaris, and hopefully her kingdom's saviour, if all went as she hoped it would...

She watched as Shalendra straightened and stood like a true Queen. Her smile turned to that of proudness. Shalendra ould be, in her opinion, the best Queen their kingdom could ever ask for. She had grown fond of the little princess many years ago and has stuck to her side for as long as she can remember. She watched her grow into a kind, intellegent and strong woman. "Rmember, dear. Even though there is the posibility that you are not chosen at least we have tried. We shall manage, if it comes to that, some way or other. But you must never lose hope. Our ancester's whisper to us fron the lands below and they shout encouragement."
Rasha took hold of Shalendra's hand and gave it a little squeeze before turning back around and squaring her own shoulders. She knew to many of the Iron kingdom her people were just an irritation and lower in their standered but she didnt care for their petty insults. We are proud spiritual people of nature, wise in the old ways and some of the new. She watched as they reached the Iron knight that guarded the gaates. Never one to be disrespectful to anyone Rasha inclined her head to show her respect even if the knight didnt return it as well. Most elven were raised learning to respect and mind others even if they didnt return the same sentiments. Rasha stared ahead, at her princess's fate and her peoples future.

“It sickens me,” Rowan murmured to herself, as she exited her bed chamber. “That anyone would consider marrying him.” Victor Khan. She pursued her lips at the thought of the prince of the Iron Empire, as she walked down the long, empty hallway, her footsteps echoing softly. Victor Khan was the son of the man who had executed her mother and stolen her sight, and she hated him with a burning ferocity. If it was not for the generations old alliance between the Empire and the de Lucas, she would have murdered him without hesitation. However, she was the Court Witch and it was her duty to carry out Victor Khan’s orders without complaint. Not to mention she would be promptly executed if she dared to slay the heir to the throne.
Arriving at the Grand Hall, Rowan carefully slotted herself into her usual position – between two pillars, hidden within the shadows. She observed silently as Victor Khan paced the room, the sound of his pacing indicating that he was unusually anxious today. Smirking, she folded her arms and leaned against a pillar, the cool stone chilly against her back. Although she could not see, she could still ‘observe’ her surroundings, by listening to the sounds around her. She also knew the layout of the fortress inside out, from living within its walls so many years. “I hope something interesting will happen…” Rowan muttered quietly to herself, as she waited dutifully, in case she was given any orders.

She wanted Rasha to be here with her, but apparently this was not allowed, and she disliked this as much as she did this land...at least if her friend had been with her, it wouldn't have seemed so bad...She fought to sit still, every nerve in her body seemed to want to move, so she occupied herself by watching the prince, but only if she was sure he wasn't watching her. She had been sure that he would have dressed more like she had read: in the formal armour that was a tradition here. Instead he was dressed in simple black robes, the colour almost blending with his dark hair. But it was his eyes that held her most: dark and cold, yet anxious at the same time. She supposed it was natural: he had just lost his father, but still the emotion Shalendra saw in those eyes made her think of the notorious 'Wraith Prince' in a different way than she had been told. He was not a monster, at least not up close in this way. That was what Shalendra tried to tell herself at least...She said a quick, silent prayer to Lunis, the latest of the many prayers she had sent to the Goddess that day, praying with all her being that her mission end well, for all of their sakes...

Helecate's long pink hair shone slightly against the light of the sun as she walked towards the gate, her reddish pink eyes trained straight ahead of her. She was dressed in a black, Gray, and white dress that at least covered her somewhat. Having borrowed it from Mikeli meant that of course most of her legs, arms, and chest were showing. The dress itself would have been pretty, it was a lacy black dress with white cuffs and Gray stripes patterned into it. Even though it showed off most of her, it did atleast cover the important parts, and that was okay with her. She kept her smile as she stopped in front of the person at the gate, she curtsied, having been taught to respect people. She straightened out and smiled, facing the pain that this trip would become

The general, who introduced himself as Judge, was the one two greet them. Orias said nothing as he walked alongside the succubus princess and the Judge. Judging by the fact that the elven guardian was being withheld from the introduction, he assumed that he would soon be ejected from the meeting as well. "Helecate," he addressed, as Judge greeted the two of them. "I have no doubt that you will do well. Keep professional, even in the prince's company, and stay friendly, even if you must act to do so."
As Judge continued to say, "I see you came unarmed, good, but still that tail is better left unused or we will be forced to cut it off, Princess." Orias finally turned to speak to the Iron Knight. Straightening his back and relaxing his wings to make them appear bigger, a natural threat instinct, he turned to face the general without fear. "I don't mean to start something, but if you threaten the princess of the Queendom of Lilith once more, I'll see to it that you're taken apart and I'll use your parts to form my next weapon." As he turned to lead the two into the castle, Orias kept as watchful of an eye on Judge as he did on Orias. Orias didn't say another word as Helecate was introduced to the court witch. He was instructed to remain with Judge, which he did without complaint. Before turning to follow Judge back to the gate of the Iron Empire, he turned to the princess he guarded for two last words. "Good luck," he said through the mask, and then followed behind the Iron Knight that he had already grown to dislike without another word.

Victor walks over to the table with the princess seated at it, and pulls out a chair directly across from her. Once, she finishes her prayer to her goddess he says with a roguish smile," Princess it seems you are as on edge as me. So, I see we have two options we can sit around and look awkward, or we can have a dialog. So, I will go first, whats your favorite color?"

Aluise slid from her stallion with festive dexterity, not waiting for anyone to help her dismount. As soon as her riding boots touched the ground, the Stallion dissolved into sand. Aluise stared as the pile swirled around her feet, a frown marring her otherwise sunny demeanor. The horse had looked like a horse, acted like one, and had been crafted so perfectly she had not doubted it's authenticity as a real animal. Of course it wasn't; the sand-creature was probably created by the court's magic to make sure she got to her destination and was left with no alternative path. No way to turn back. How she despised her father's court... but that did not matter anymore.
"Byron!" Aluise sang as she kicked the sand, and threw her arms out wide, spinning on lithe feet; "We are free! Finally free!" She giggled, and came to a dizzy stop, using her staff to steady herself. "No more rules, no more lessons in secret, nooo more evil court hags..." She sighed contently, resting her check on the top of her staff, before her gaze drifted to the high intimidating walls of the Iron Citadel. "...Well, maybe." Aluise's merriment waned, replaced with enraptured calm as she mused over what lay in store for her behind the giant distant doors. The princess turned back to her bodyguard; "I suppose we should be on our way-" She said, right before a raindrop landed on her nose. Aluise looked up at the sky in surprise; it was completely clouded over, and as she stuck out her hand, more cold droplets covered it. The Iron kingdom was quite different from her desert home: it seemed wetter, the ground was hard, and there was strange foliage she had never seen. A chill ran up Aluise's spine, causing her to shiver. "Ah, perhaps we should hurry Byron..." She said, before laughing and taking off in front of him on light feet. She ran through the rain, unheeding of the Imperial soldiers lining the road as they watched her with a close eye.
Her excitement finally brought her to the steps leading to the grand metal doors, and as she looked back to see if Byron was following, Aluise collided painfully with something hard and unmoving. The princess cradled her hand as she looked up at the hulking figure. It was an armor clad man, bigger than the other's she had passed, and he was glaring down at her. She took a slight step back, placing her staff in front her; Aluise's voice and mannerisms changing instantly into the cool, calm persona of one raised as royalty. "Greetings honored Knight, I am Princess Aluise Daspaen of the Duran Kingdom." Her eloquent tone did not waver as the small princess stood poised staring up at the giant; "Would you grant us passage hither? I am expected by Ferrum's Prince, and I mustn't tarry."

He notice the princess looking to see if he was following, he smiled then noticing the large armored man, "Princes-" he began to say, though, is warning to late as she pumped into him. Catching up with her, she eyed the large clad man. He stayed behind the princess, his guard up, not feeling trustworthy at the moment with this large figure. His staff in his right hand and a clenched fist in his left. He nodded at his getting and followed him with the princess up to the main hall, making a mental note about the rules in magic. This disappointed him, being that he had no other skill other than magic. If anything he could hardly keep up a fist fight. Byron scrolled seeing that he had to stay in the main hall with the rest. "Be careful now, Princess" he said, the most he had spoken all day. He was very unhappy with being here, mostly because of the temptation he was getting to find trouble. Yet, they just got here how much could happen? He sighed looking at the other guardians then slowly began to relax, even though his clothing seemed to stand out from the rest. Not much to care for at the time.

The man announced her to someone named Rowan, but the princess could not see who he might be addressing. Aluise started to protest when the Knight ordered that her bodyguard was not to follow, but stopped when Byron told her to take care. She didn't want to face the Prince alone, the fact that she was a trophy bride- as that was the ugly truth to this endeavor. She didn't want to leave the safety of Byron's side, but she handed over her staff nonetheless. Her duty was not to herself, but to her father's wishes. He had always hoped she would continue the peace between Duran and Ferrum; he even gave his daughter to the hands of his counsel, everything she had ever done was in preparation to be a pleasing bride. She hated it. The charmed pictures of the prince they would force on her, the endless poise lessons, the restrictions. They wanted her to fall in love, but soon found that was one thing the princess would not be subservient about in regards to her personal choice.
But now she was alone, they weren't there to control her every action, she was liberated at last... even if it meant she was bound to please this strange prince. She knew the counsels sweetly spun stories of him of course, although she had never trusted in them. He was a stranger, a unknown force that held her future in his grasp. A passing thought made her shiver once again in her slightly damp clothes; if she was not pleasing to him, and he did not pick her, would she be executed? It seemed all too likely, as the tensions between the two kingdoms were on the rise again despite the alleged peace treaty. Duran was growing stronger, however, Ferrum was still the undisputed warrior nation. She doubted her aged father would regret the sacrifice, but she would always love that man through any circumstance, even to death.
Aluise continued up the carpeted hall, listening to the men retreat back through the metal doors. She stopped and waited, anxiously adjusting her clothing; but as usual no matter how composed she made herself, nothing could tame her wild hair and vivid burning eyes.

"And I am sorry fo rmy rudeness, Princess of Lilith. My name is Shalendra, and I am the Princess of Lunaris, the Elven Kingdom. I am delighted to make your aquaintance.", she stated politely to the Succubus, not wishing to seem rude to the girl who would become her rival within the coming weeks...
