Editing Kingdoms: Main Page (section)

=Premise=

For one thousand years the ''High King'' rules over ''Arcadia'', just as his father did before him, and his father's father before. Through him, ''Glamour'' flows into the realm, sustaining the very existence of his kingdom and his people.

Now though, the millennium draws to an end and Arcadia demands that the ''High King'' is sacrificed on the ''Altar of Seasons''. At the very moment the ''High King'' dies, his ''Queen'' bears him two twin sons. 


Watch as the sons grow into adulthood. As has always been, one turns to Light and the other to Darkness. 

The ''Seelie Prince of the White Domain'' becomes a man of honour and tradition, beloved by his loyal subjects. 

The ''Unseelie Prince of the Black Domain'' becomes a man of passion and ambition, surrounded by like-minded followers who fear and respect his strength.


They reach their eighteenth birthday, and on that day each Prince receives a bride from realms beyond their own. 

As they take their Queens they change from being ''Princes'' to ''Kings'', and their ''Court'' assembles around them... ''Two Knights to lead in War, two Bishops who master Intrigue, two Rooks as defenders of the realm, and Eight Armies to fight for the kingdom.''


The two brothers realise that there cannot be two Kings, and that the Black Court and the White Court cannot rule the next millennium together. Only one can rule. As in generations and millennia previous a war must be fought. 

This war, ''The Grand Game of Succession'' will rage for up to twelve years, till only one brother remains. Victory will give him control of Arcadia for the next thousand years, and it will be the victor whose vision shapes reality.


'''Let the Game commence.'''
