Duchy of Ragos—the territory held by the esteemed Duke Ragos, whose bloodline has ruled this land for over a thousand years. The Vareldis Empire has seen the rise and fall of many noble houses beneath its towering dominance, and the Ragos family is one such legacy—old, proud, and fiercely ambitious.
Yet ambition has a price.
For generations, the Ragos House has dreamed of placing one of their own upon the imperial throne. Not as conquerors—for none dared openly challenge the might of the Vareldis bloodline, a lineage whispered to be laced with the hidden monsters that guards it—but through subtler means. Marriage. Bloodlines. Influence.
A seat beside the throne, or better yet… a Ragos heir sharing both the Imperial blood and the Ragos blood.
But those dreams remained nothing more than dust beneath the boots of the ruling line.
Until now.
