"Say we don't make it. Say that worse comes to worse.
Will there be anyone left to grieve for us?
Will they tell our story, once we're gone?"
It has been more than a decade since the Home War came to an end; or so say the histories.
The Holy State of Caledor, ever at war, headed an invasion of the Free Provinces with hopes of moving closer to their southern enemies.
Being largely passive in the war that was being fought around them, the first steps in Caledor’s strategic march took the Provinces by surprise.
A counter-attack was led by their armies, but to no avail; against the martial might of Caledor they stood little chance of victory.
Fifteen years have passed since the final provinces fell. Defeat was to be swift and absolute for those that resisted. Call them
brave or call them foolish, it matters not. Against the martial might of Caledor the provinces stood little chance of victory.
As the hell-fires of war continue to rage, the men and women of the Provinces, once humble, once peaceful, are left to scavenge among the remnants
of their homelands. As Caledor turns it's gaze east to a new foe, one which could yet rival it's strength, a pair of unlikely friends set out in search of refuge.
Fleeing Caledor's grasp, they make for the Arbour- the last refuge of the true faith.
The last refuge of the truly free.
Images to come...
RAVELLE
19, from Three Forks.
Adventurous and headstrong, Ravelle hopes one day to be the first girl to join with the Reiksgard, the army for Caledor's most elite. Despite her
hatred of Caledor and all the suffering it had brought to her and the ones she loves, a life in the army has much more on offer than her life at home.
Ravelle lost her mother to sickness while she was still young, and her father was conscripted into the army before she could form memories of him.
As a result of her parents' absence, Ravelle was raised on Willas' Farm with her dearest friend Soren.
After the final provinces fell, Ravelle received news that her father would be returning home; though, he did not resemble the man she had always
thought him to be.
SOREN
17, from Three Forks.
A gentle soul. He has a passion for songs, storytelling and the prospect of adventure- if only he didn't have to get his hands dirty.
Youngest son of a local farmer, Soren was born into a position with little expectation. However, his elder brother was swept away
by the tides of war and did not return. Since then, Soren has struggled with the weight which was so suddenly thrust upon his shoulders.
A lifelong friend of Ravelle's, Soren cannot remember a time without her in his life.
ERRAL
31, Knight of the Arbour.
The orphaned son of a sheep farmer, Erral joined the Arbour at 16, after the Home War ravaged his home town. He excelled at combat,
and propelled through the ranks of the Arbour, gaining the position of General by the time he turned 25.
BREMMER
30, Knight of the Arbour. NPC.
He is Erral's companion and truest friend at the Arbour. Broad shouldered and round of waist, Bremmer is a strong fighter. He is skilled
with his sword, and fast. But the speed he makes up for in fighting, he lacks in wits, and more often than not Bremmer can’t be counted
on for his thoughts.

The Fragile Crown is a historical/fantasy role-playing game which encourages the player to immerse themselves within the game through the use of music, graphics and depth of narrative. While including some traditional features often attributed to an RPG, such as crafting, questing and fighting enemies, The Fragile Crown’s primary focus is to draw the player into a deep, enriching storyline by developing complex bonds between characters and their environment.
Many of the features currently implemented in the game are not final. For example, the following images do not necessarily depict how the game will eventually end up. All elements of the game are subject to change, these are just to show what it may contain, and for temporary testing purposes.
