Sheltered, Suppressed, and Silenced. 

Princess Adelaide Voz'hana Wysteria has lived her entire life sequestered in the Imperial Palace of Wyster. Never allowed to explore, never allowed to leave the safety of the Palace, and never able to experience life due to her paranoid mother, Empress Vivian Fyhana Wysteria. 

However Adelaide just had her twenty-first birthday, coming of age in the Wysterian Empire. Tradition dictates that every citizen of age must serve in the military forces for three years. Adelaide sees this as her chance to finally see the Realm and its people before taking her mantle as Empress.

However a dark plot, decades in the making, causes Adelaide to truly examine who she is and where she comes from. 

Day Nine:

I cannot express how lucky I am to have found Cedrine and Thanmur, especially for this latest step in our trek to the isle of Ska'Tret. Gnolls, gnolls as far as the eye can see. They had hidden themselves in the rainy hills outside of the township of Vivian and we were lucky enough to send them packing with their tails tucked between their legs.

I have a bad feeling that's looming over me. I don't know how to explain it, but it's there. I just hope that there aren't any more unexpected delays in our trek. We finally have enough silver to keep us going for a while, but we will have to get dangerously close to the frontlines. Although, I did hear some gossip among the patrons of the inn we are staying at. The Pale King is withdrawing his troops to bolster support in Eastbank. What could that be about?
