Advertisement
Jumbled up scenes and fragmented images are what causing Lu Yan or now known as Raghnall headaches early in this wonderful morning.
This body he now possessed is known to be the no-good child of the Great Duke Reynold Fitzgerald, but rumors will always be rumors unless proven true, the Raghnall of before wasn't a worthless child compared to his two older siblings Rion and Regan, it was just his accomplishments were overshadowed by his brothers brilliance.
The Kingdom of Larsa, followed the so-called feudal system wherein the King bestowed upon the nobles a property or land to rule over in exchange for their services, this act of give and take form an allegiance between the two as the nobles are bound by duty to protect the land once the need arises, the commoners on the other hand lived on the lands of these nobles wherein their taxes take a form of labor and a share of their annual produce, but there were also the so-called merchants who paid their taxes through giving a part of their products back to the nobles.
The lands given by the King are called fief or fiefdom and the house of Fitzgerald ruled over the fiefdom of Whitethorn, located at the eastern border of the Kingdom of Larsa, close to the waters of the Goldenlake.
Originally, the Whitethorn Manor was owned by the Whitethorn Family however the last heir died in the midst of war that happened 50 years ago thus leaving no one eligible to rule over the land, the Fitzgerald Manor was in between the Capital City and Whitethorn Manor, seeing that the next fief was vacant the Fitzgerald Family was determined to take it under its wing and due to the political influences of the Fitzgerald Family and its military might garnered them the power over the Whitethorn Manor, so to say the present Whitethorn Fiefdom is the combination of both the Fitzgerald and Whitethorn Manor of the past.

The former name was then taken by the Fitzgerald's in remembrance of the dead Dermod Whitethorn, who was the second-in-command and a close friend of General Dwaine Fitzgerald of that time.
Since the fiefdom of Whitethorn is located near the Goldenlake, it allowed the people to have an easier and faster transportation compared to land, as there are many hills and mountains in between towns not to mention the bumpy road you have to pass, thus with this water trading route the Whitethorn Manor is said to more active in trade than the other manors, and unlike the others, Goldenlake was also the home of hundreds if not thousands variety of fishes, which add on the resources of the fief, aside from agriculture, foraging and hunting gains.
Not only was the Goldenlake the main source of fresh water, either for drinking, daily use and irrigation, it was also surrounded by all kinds of flora and fauna, that are used as medicines or food by the people.
Other fiefs might look on these with envy, but Lu Yan, now Raghnall only sees a land with more potential for development.
He might be much acknowledged for his exploits in war but Lu Yan is a knowledgeable man in terms of commerces as well, even in politics.
Just that he was blinded before thus he hasn't seen the truth behind those seemingly harmless faces loitering around him.

The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.
