STORY
In the midst of a raging battle on Frostflame Isles, Dragos, the child leader of the Reavers, arrived in Founder's Bastion in search of the his future bride, Mari. But things were not as simple as they seemed, for Mari had just been declared the rightful wife of Schneii, the lord of Sparrow Hills, whose royal seal granted him the authority to choose any woman of royal blood to be his wife.
Pushing through the throne room, embers of love burning in his heart, Dragos confronted Schneii and challenged him to a duel. The Lord of Sparrow Hills was widely recognized as an exceptional fighter, and to the casual observer, the young Reaver appeared no stronger than a half-grown foal. But stronger than a half-grown foal he was, far stronger in fact, and despite only having seen ten summers in his time, Dragos, Champion of the Reavers, put forth a spectacle the likes of which had not been witnessed in ages, one that struck fear into the heart of every onlooker through sheer amount of magical energy invoked.
However, Schneii, a veteran of countless battles, was the only man in the room who had not underestimated the young hero, and though the Reaver's kinetic bolts did initially push him back on his heels, the Human ruler prepared to launch a possibly fatal counter-attack. He never got the chance, as a bright flash engulfed the throne room, blinding fighters and onlookers alike.
A silence fell over the room for an instant, then gradually transformed into a rolling boil of shock as dozens of eyes, blinking away their blindness, realized what had happened—Princess Mari was gone, and a chest of silver coins had been left in the center of the room. Schneii and Dragos sheathed their weapons and moved cautiously toward the container. A hastily-written note sat atop the chest, "Mari has been chosen to receive the honor of wedding our prince. This chest of silver should suffice as payment." Dragos picked up the note, crumpled it, and ignited it. Ash trickled to the stone floor. He, Schneii, and everyone else knew who was responsible. A race of thieves of trouble-makers, the only one capable of such treachery—The Shuras.
Dragos and Schneii, knowing what had to be done, postponed their quarrel, and turned their attention to the task at hand. Though strong, each of their respective races stood no chance against the Shuras by itself. Thus, an alliance was formed—Reavers and Humans would work together to rescue Princess Mari.
As preparations began for the daring mission, an unsettling bit of information came to light. According to High Oracles of Twilight Nexus, the emperor of the Shura race was father to identical twin daughters—Apollonia and Marisol. These two daughters, according to reports, bore an uncanny resemblance to Princess Mari. Rumors began circulating—Had the princess been a Shura spy all along? And if so, what happened to the real Princess Mari?
Left with questions upon questions, the newly formed alliance prepared to wage war against the Shuras and uncover the mystery behind the missing princess. Before they could embark on their quest, though, a new rumor spread like wildfire among the people — a mysterious female matching the description of Princess Mari had been seen on Frostflame Isles. Was this the real princess, a Shura spy, or a case of mistaken identity?
