The world of Ashan. A world of humans and elves, dwarves and gnomes and halflings. A land inhabitaed by ogres and trolls, orcs and goblins - all in constant tension and conflict with one another and looking to bring down the goodly races. A land rife with magic, though few know how to properly wield it. The elves, with their endless lifespans, are the foremost practitioners of the arcane arts, with many holding powers of the elements or of nature. Dwarves delve deep into the earth, drawing from it her gold and her gems. Halflings and gnomes keep to themselves, though a scant few venture forth to travel the lands when the wanderlust takes them.
Xendorian Nethinam, Crown Prince of the HGE, the Holy Griffin Empire, was to be married. It was not his choice, and in fact, rumor had it that she was human, which turned his stomach. His people, a bloodline that stretched back for millennia, were noble Riders, known for their ferocity in battle astride their griffins, their armies feared across the entire face of Ashan. Of course, the elves did not birth often and their numbers dwindled despite their long lifespans, and alliances need be made, no matter the personal feelings of the Prince.
Questioning his father, the King, had met with little help for him. That raised his anger even more and though the Prince knew that, in some ways, this helped his people, it was like marrying a dog. Humans were simply lesser, and when he thought about it, he retched. No matter what he did though, the day to meet her approached and he dreaded that meeting with his entire being. He was sure that she would be ugly, smell bad, and had probably shared carnal knowledge with any number of beasts. Such was the way of humans. Though the day arrived and the Prince was dressed in his regal finery, and sat at the right hand of his father in the Throne Room, awaiting the arrival of his apparent bride-to-be.
